ANTICIPATED LEVEL OF ACTIVITY
AS A %OF TOTAL M&A ACTIVITY FOR REGION
Based on ‘companies for sale’ in the six months to 31 December 2021, Mergermarket’s Intelligence Heat Chart predicts a greater level of activity for the Energy, Mining & Utilities sector compared to the prior six months, with increases across 10 of the identified 17 regions. The highest levels of activity are anticipated in the larger markets of North America and Greater China, with North America predicted to become the leading region, taking over top spot fromGreater China. The highest anticipated levels of activity, as a proportion of total activity, are predicted to be in Australasia and Africa, home to significant numbers of natural resources projects. The BDO Heat Chart is only presented on a high level without a breakdown within the sector, but it is likely that the continuing move towards a greener world will encourage companies to accelerate the push towards a low carbon sustainable future across all regions through the acquisition of appropriate renewables targets.
