In the first quarter of the year, we observed 95 mergers and acquisitions - 9 more than a year ago and as much as 19 more than in the same period of 2021. This is the first such active Q1 in the history of the ranking. The record volume, however, should not be surprising - the past, also record-breaking, year was rich in transactions despite numerous economic and geopolitical challenges, which resulted in a large number of transactions ending after the new year. On the other hand, the Polish M&A market is on its way to maturity, which will increase the activity of buyers and sellers. What was the structure of the M&A market in the past three months?
Valuations the biggest challenge in 2023?

The Polish market and - more broadly - the CEE markets are struggling with a number of problems, including attempts to adjust prices to the growing costs of maintaining a business and resistance to local (national and regional) political and economic turmoil. The valuations will be influenced by the companies’ range of operations, the length and, at the same time, the resilience of their supply chain, as well as the level of demand fluctuation risk. More affluent and highly scaled companies may in this situation take advantage of the acquisition and consolidation opportunities. While so far we have not observed a flood of distressed assets on the Polish market in relation with the pandemic, the fact that we are at the bottom of the business cycle may contribute to this trend. In a fluid transactional landscape, whose activity is constantly growing, tools for conducting acquisition processes, such as VDR, gained additional importance, becoming a market standard as systems supporting transactions in a continuous mode.
