Increase in M&A Deals Expected: Report
In recent years, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have been on the rise in various industries. According to Deloitte Malaysia mergers and acquisitions partner Yap Kong Meng, M&A activities have been increasing based on the firm’s own observations.
One sector that has seen significant M&A activity is the technology industry. Companies are looking to acquire innovative technologies and digital capabilities to stay competitive in the rapidly changing market. This trend is expected to continue as companies seek to expand their reach and stay ahead of the competition.
Another key factor driving M&A activity is the desire for companies to achieve economies of scale and improve efficiency. By combining resources and streamlining operations, companies can reduce costs and increase profitability. This can also lead to greater market share and a stronger competitive position in the market.
Regulatory changes and government policies can also impact M&A activity. Companies may seek to acquire or merge with other entities to comply with new regulations or take advantage of government incentives. It’s important for companies to stay informed of any regulatory changes that could affect their M&A plans.
Overall, M&A activity is expected to continue to be a prominent feature of the business landscape. Companies will continue to seek opportunities to grow, innovate, and stay competitive in an ever-evolving market. By staying informed and strategic, companies can navigate the M&A landscape successfully and achieve their business objectives.
