Look out for new opportunities in I&C, mining, utilities and renewables.
Spain and Portugal’s economies were badly affected by the impact of Covid-19 on their travel and tourism sectors. But the end of 2021 saw a resurgence and a record number of M&A transactions.
The number of deals in Iberia rose by 29% in 2020 to 715 transactions—the highest since 2006. Value also rose year on year.
The industrial sector and renewables were big attractions. PE buyouts saw a massive rise. Exits dropped in value, in spite of a rise in the number of deals.
Energy, mining, and utilities saw €12.1bn in deal value in 2021, making it the second-largest sector by M&A value (20.6%).
The leisure sector saw M&A value increase almost eightfold and the number of deals also rose.
High levels of capital and low-interest rates are expected to encourage more M&A in 2022 with particular opportunities for PE.
