This edition of BDO M&A Horizons focuses on the global and regional mid-market outlook over two years.
Global mid-market activity declined in the second half of 2023, but only to levels broadly in line with 2021 and still well above pandemic levels. The total volume of transactions decreased by approximately 16% compared to the first half of the year. Given the surge in deal activity post-Covid, this doesn't look like such a bad situation, and 2022 stands out as an exceptional year.
The outlook for 2024 looks positive as M&A is expected to benefit from falling inflation and potentially lower interest rates. We hope that private capital will continue to actively invest in 2024.
