IMAP DEALBOOK 2024
The IMAP Dealbook provides an annual overview of global transactions across various sectors and regions. In the 2023-2024 edition, we highlight the deals completed between the first quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2024. In 2023, IMAP dealmakers successfully closed 231 transactions, with a total value exceeding $9 billion. With over 50 years of M&A experience and a global network of more than 60 offices, IMAP consistently ranks among the top 10 M&A advisory firms worldwide. This position is a testament to our expertise, hands-on approach, and strong international network.
As we publish a new edition of the IMAP Dealbook, the global economic environment continues to challenge the best of analysts. The start of 2024 was marked by improvements in market conditions, fading fears of a recession, and mounting investor confidence. However, since then momentum has generally stalled and the much-awaited surge in transaction activity has not materialized. And yet, while it may be tempting to get caught up analysing the ups and downs of macroeconomic trends and the future path of interest rates, IMAP advisors around the world continue to emphasize a vibrance within the mid-market dealmaking environment that is not captured in major headlines. Buyers may be more selective compared to recent years, but demand is still high for high-quality assets and targets with differentiated business models. Strong corporate profits, an aging owner base looking for exits, an ongoing move towards market efficiencies and consolidation, and the adoption of new technologies, will continue to drive activity going forward. Indeed, IMAP advisors are reporting a strong deal backlog and pipeline.
The Dealbook showcases IMAP deals closed between Q1 2023 and Q2 2024, representing our collective track record of delivering optimal M&A outcomes for our clients across a breadth of sectors and countries.
