2025 Channel Census Update: M&A, Managed Services, and AI Investments Driving Growth
Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity has continued to be a popular growth and transformation strategy for a significant portion of businesses, according to this year’s Channel Census. Despite reaching its peak during the pandemic, nearly a quarter of respondents have indicated that they are still utilizing M&A as a strategic tool.
The Channel Census findings reveal that many companies see M&A as a way to drive growth, expand market share, and achieve operational efficiencies. This aligns with the trend seen in recent years, where businesses have been increasingly using M&A to stay competitive and adapt to changing market conditions.
While the pandemic may have caused some disruptions to M&A activity, it is clear that many companies are still actively considering M&A as part of their overall business strategy. It will be interesting to see how this trend continues to evolve in the coming months and years, as businesses navigate the post-pandemic landscape and look for new ways to drive growth and innovation.
