For the Food & Beverage M&A market, our colleagues Jürgen Schwarz and Florian Ismer expect a further increase in the number of transactions with rising valuations in the second half of 2025. After several years marked by inflation, rising costs, supply chain issues, and the war in Ukraine, market participants have largely adapted to the supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressure.

Jürgen and Florian were recently guests on the CLOSE THE DEAL podcast, where they spoke with host Kai Hesselmann about, among other things:

• how to maximize valuation in a sales process,
• the current state of the Food & Beverage market,
• how this is impacting M&A deals in the sector,
• the role of strategic buyers, ESG criteria, and cross-border deals,
• how the merger of Capitalmind and Investec took place,
• and what they expect for the future of Food & Beverage M&A.
