    popularity of Virtual Data Room

The latest data from the polish M&A market | 2021
The total number of mergers and acquisitions in 2021 increased by almost a hundred compared to the previous year, also a record-high. 328 recorded acquisitions versus 229 a year ago is an exceptionally good result, although a plentiful transaction volume was not unexpected. This result was largely influenced by the extremely dynamic end of the year and further strengthening of the TMT industry. What was the sectoral structure of the M&A market in the twelve months under analysis?
VDR - the choice of the real estate industry

We estimate that in the analyzed period the use of the Virtual Data Room system on the M&A market was approx. 45%. Importantly, information security in the Real Estate industry in 2021 was important not only for the commercial real estate segment, but also - to an unprecedented extent - for the residential segment. Thanks to VDR, developers have the ability to exercise greater control over the flow of documentation, which contributes to faster project implementation. The housing market grew dynamically last year. It is worth mentioning that due to high prices, the share of institutional entities with more capital will become more and more visible among buyers.
