Dealmakers see rebound after global M&A volumes hit decade-low

Global M&A activity hit a decade-low in 2023 due to high interest rates and economic uncertainty, but bankers and lawyers anticipate a rebound as conditions improve. Total M&A volumes fell 18% to $3 trillion, the lowest since 2013. Private equity-led buyouts slumped 38%, resulting in reduced capital distribution. However, an increase in large deals in the oil and gas industry and signs of a pick-up in the fourth quarter indicate a potential recovery. Regulatory challenges, cross-border complications, and upcoming elections may remain as headwinds in 2024. Shareholder activism is on the rise, driving M&A activity.

However, some sectors could see short-term pressure on volumes, margins, and growth. Monitoring retaliatory actions and evolving trade agreements will be important in the coming months.
