Q4 2021 M&A activity showed a continued recovery from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. However, the direction of future developments remains uncertain, as Omicron variants or other worldly events might impact on trade relations and keep investors on the cautious side. Historically, the first quarter of the year is packed with mid-market M&A transactions. In 2022, the current uncertain economic situation and the unpredictable future development of the pandemic might result in a scaled-down first quarter in terms of deal volume and value. However, we maintain our belief that the DACH M&A market will continue to recover and improve over the coming months.
