UK M &A Market Trends and Drivers
The UK M &A market has experienced significant activity in 2024, surpassing deal volumes of the previous year. This surge can be attributed to increased animal spirits among boards and investment committees, normalization in financing markets, and growing interest from global strategics looking for scale through M &A. Financial sponsors have also become more active, particularly in the P2P space, taking advantage of value dislocations in UK equity markets.
