Abstract
On behalf of Moore Global Corporate Finance, Vlerick Business School has analysed more than 32,000 completed-confirmed deals in the year 2023 and compared that with data for the years 2019-2022. Almost 20,000 cross-border mid-market mergers and acquisitions have been sealed in the past five years as ambitious firms look beyond their own borders for growth opportunities. The results are revealed in the latest edition of The Moore Global Cross-border Mid-market M&A Compass, which analyses activity in this important part of the M&A market both in 2023 and stretching back to 2019. The Compass report is launched today by Moore Global Corporate Finance in partnership with Vlerick Business School and tracked more than 40,000 transactions announced in 2023. The main findings of the research were: Cross-border transactions systematically account for one-in-four of all M&A deals Average deal size in the cross-border mid-market has grown from €42.4 million in 2019 to €47.4 million in 2023 – a rise of 12% 62% of all cross-border M&A last year took place in the mid-market Four-out-of-ten cross-border deals in the mid-market involve acquirers from North America More than half of cross-border mid-market transactions were focused on the IT and healthcare sectors.
