The latest data from the polish M&A market
In the fourth quarter of 2022, we recorded 92 mergers and acquisitions, which is 18 more than in the third quarter of the year and only 10 less than in the record-breaking fourth quarter of 2021. The companies achieved the result of 341 mergers and acquisitions in the last twelve months. The increase was mainly due to the almost doubled activity of PE/VC funds on the buyer side - from 7 to 13 acquisitions - as well as a higher transaction volume than three months ago in the TMT industry, financial services and industry. What was the structure of transactions in the last quarter of this uncertain year?
What do investors expect in 2023?

Challenges in this still politically and economically unstable period should not diversify significantly - investors will continue to watch changes in the regulatory environment, interest rates, the impact of global trade wars and the recession. In addition, they may be concerned about the ability of acquired companies to integrate successfully and the possibility of unforeseen liabilities in a dynamic economic environment. The speed of proceedings will therefore continue to be a very important factor. Along with the increase in the transaction volume, the demand for services such as VDR will grow.
