Current M&A environment in the Swiss I&S sector

September 2024

In the first half of 2024, deal volumes and values in the I&S sectors declined due to challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. However, we expect M&A activity to recover towards the end of the year, supported by pent-up selling pressure from private equity firms, corporates cleaning up their portfolios and private companies lacking internal succession. In a subdued economic environment, M&A remains crucial for driving growth and value creation to compensate for low organic growth.
