Market analysts predict a significant increase in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in the coming years. Paul Taubman, founder of PJT Partners, has stated that a new and active cycle of M&A is about to begin. Recent observations from venture capitalists suggest an uptick in M&A activity within their portfolios, indicating a potential resurgence in the market. According to the latest Deal Barometer outlook from EY-Parthenon, M&A activity is expected to rise by 13% in 2024, followed by an additional 10% increase in 2025. The report also forecasts a 16% rise in private equity-backed M&A and an 8% growth in corporate M&A during the same period.
