- M&A activity in the U.S. Industrial Manufacturing market declined in Q2-25, with 368 transactions recorded over the trailing twelve months, down from 397 in 2024. Global activity followed a similar path, falling to 1151 transactions from 1257 in 2024.
- Financial buyer transactions in the Industrial Manufacturing sector rose 32.1% globally and 22.2% in the U.S. in Q2-25 compared to the same quarter the previous year. This increase reflects the continued abundance of available capital, improved financing conditions, and growing interest from financial buyers in acquiring scalable industrial platforms, driven by both organic growth opportunities and inorganic consolidation potential.
- Conversely, global strategic buyer transactions declined 22.0% in Q2-25 compared to the same period in 2024, as many active acquirers put M&A plans on hold amid uncertainty around trade policy, an issue that directly affects deal pricing, supply chains, and long-term integration planning.
