Deloitte’s 2024 M&A trends survey found 83% of M&A leaders expect their organization to make more deals in 2024, representing a 14% increase over the past two years. Additionally, 82% expect the size of the deals to be bigger this year.
This optimism is supported by the fact that many companies are restructuring, which can make them more attractive in a sale if efficiency has been improved. The survey found 68% of respondents’ companies have restructured since the pandemic.
Deloitte also assessed the factors that can make or break the success of a deal, including strategy, due diligence, planning and integration.
It found 44% pointed to M&A strategy as a key factor in closing a deal, followed by deal valuation at 41%. Other respondents cited financial due diligence (40%), operational due diligence (38%) and board involvement and approval (36%).
