Mid-Market M&A Pulse Check 2022

There’s no doubt that 2021 was a record year for private equity, with investors charging out of the gate off the back of COVID. To date, this year seems to be trading in the same direction, with most of our respondents reporting a busy market, and expecting it to stay relatively busy throughout the next 12 months.

Our results reveal:
• High levels of M&A activity that are expected to continue throughout 2022, but hints of a slight softening are beginning to show
• Strong quality of assets which is supporting a seller’s advantage in valuations
• Economic uncertainty and inflationary pressures are a building concern for investors

We hope you find the results of interest. If you would like to discuss any of the points raised in this report or discuss the trends we are seeing in the North American M&A market, do get in touch.
