2021 Annual


GLOBAL M&A REPORT

January 26, 2022


Download report
Global M&A rockets to nearly $5T in 2021

Global M&A flourished in 2021, as the unprecedented depth, breadth and velocity
of the market sent total deal value past $4.9 trillion. The growing number of
public companies, which are more acquisitive than their private counterparts,
reverses a nearly 20-year trend and bodes well for future M&A activity.

Our 2021 Annual Global M&A Report, sponsored by Liberty GTS, breaks down the
trends driving last year's records and explores the headwinds that might shape
the market in the months to come.

Key takeaways
 
 * Economic resurgence paved the way for record activity in both North America
   and Europe, with aggregate deal value at $2.8 trillion and $1.8 trillion,
   respectively.

 
 * Healthcare M&A activity continued its multiyear growth trajectory, with the
   sector's largest deals underscoring the shift of healthcare IT toward cloud
   integration.

 
 * Despite the sustained recovery in oil prices, energy dealmaking recovered
   only modestly, as the industry grappled with factors such as fuel shortages
   and the global energy transition.

 
 * Tech ended the year at a frenetic pace, with deal value up more than 50% over
   2020, yet looming regulatory scrutiny could complicate future dealmaking in
   the industry.
