The latest data from the polish M&A market
In 2019 (as of December 12), 179 mergers and acquisitions took place. It is 20 less than in the same period last year. The decline is clear, although not surprising in the context of the global economic slowdown. Half of all sellers were made up of private entities (50%), with the largest interest in industrial companies (25 transactions) and the IT/Media/Telcom sector, which maintained its first position in relation to 2018 and still consolidates the most.

Virtual Data Room for every industry

The Polish M&A market today uses the data room solution as a standard transaction tool. Its role is crucial to ensure security and accelerate the Due Diligence process in all types of transactions. The popularity of VDR has been growing almost exponentially for two years, achieving a result of 49% this year, and the data room itself is becoming increasingly popular in life science projects, on the commercial real estate market and in legal audits. Its importance will grow in 2020 in the face of growing phishing threats and the interest in the subject of secure file sharing.
