Positive outlook for M&A market in the industrial sector

Despite the initial impact of macro uncertainty and high interest rates, the industrial M&A market is showing signs of improvement. Volumes may be slightly lower compared to the previous year, but there are indications of a steady recovery as the year progresses. Pockets of opportunity exist in the industrial sector, with companies experiencing real profitability and cash flows. The key factor affecting deal-making is the cost of financing, which has increased due to higher interest rates. As market participants adapt to these new conditions, the outlook for deal activity in the industrial sector is encouraging.
