The M&A market has been in a slump for over two years, but signs of recovery are emerging. In KPMG's June 2024 survey, 54% of 200 US dealmakers expect deal volume to surpass last year’s, with 57% anticipating further growth in 2025.
KPMG’s mid-year M&A survey of 200 dealmakers at large private equity firms and corporations showed that dealmakers are optimistic about a comeback in the M&A market in the second half of this year and going into 2025.
