McKinsey's Take on State of Mergers and Acquisition
McKinsey's February 2025 report analyzes M&A activity within advanced industries, encompassing automotive, aerospace, industrials, and semiconductors.
Despite a slight dip in overall deal value from the previous year, the report anticipates increased M&A activity in 2025, driven by factors such as reduced interest rates and emerging technologies.
Private equity firms hold substantial capital reserves, suggesting continued investment in these industries.
Automotive M&A will focus on electric and autonomous technologies, aerospace will see consolidation and new space technologies drive deals, industrials will focus on software and sustainability, while semiconductors are driven by AI.
The report also highlights trends like cross-border deals and the impact of geopolitical shifts on M&A strategies.
