Q3 2024 Middle Market M&A Update
Back to news articles
GCG’s Q3 2024 Middle Market Update provides an overview of the latest trends in the market, including the recent performance of select sectors and the state of the middle market M&A environment.
Key findings include the following:
-
- Interest rate cuts and easing on the overall financing market is likely to spur an increase in M&A volume through late 2024 and into 2025.
- There has been a multi-year reduction in middle-market deals brought on by inflation, higher rates, and overall economic uncertainty. That uncertainty appears poised to change in 2025 and the pent up supply and demand for deals will produce a strong resurgence in activity.
- Buyers, supported by lower borrowing costs and significant dry powder, may step back into the market. However, escalating global conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, uncertainty about tariffs and other changing policies, remain key risks impacting overall sentiment.
