PwC’s Post

Wow

Thanks to PwC and Brian Levy for sharing these valuable insights. It’s clear that 2025 holds both challenges and opportunities for M&A, and the thoughtful analysis of trends like AI, geopolitical shifts, and market dynamics is incredibly helpful in navigating this complex landscape. Looking forward to seeing how this momentum plays out in the coming year!

Why not pay some attention to construction related M&A in particular Modular housing firms as consolidation in that space is creating opportunities of a lifetime and it also promises a huge impact regarding reduction of the housing deficit in the UK.

2025 is set to challenge M&A strategies like never before. While volatility looms, the real momentum is in AI, tech, and energy- sectors that are reshaping dealmaking. Adaptability will define success in this evolving landscape. 

The evolving geopolitical and economic landscape reminds us that 2025 is a year of recalibration—for governments, businesses, and dealmakers alike. From shifting global power dynamics and the “Trump effect” on policy, to rising private credit and AI-fueled reinvention, M&A is being reshaped by both disruption and opportunity. What stands out is how companies are moving beyond survival mode to use deals as tools for transformation, whether that’s acquiring to scale in tech-heavy markets or divesting to focus and refocus. Three takeaways: (1) CEOs should anchor M&A decisions in long-term strategy, not short-term volatility (2) private credit is no longer just an alternative—it’s becoming central to deal financing, and understanding its dynamics is key (3) divestitures shouldn’t be feared—they’re strategic moves to sharpen focus and unlock value. The challenge isn’t just navigating change, but using it as a lever for reinvention.
