Several serial acquirers continue to drive consolidation in the UK, DACH, France, the Nordics, and Benelux regions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Logistics services segment is being targeted at a fast pace<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Transport &amp; Logistics deal landscape in Europe has reached 1,367 recorded transactions during the period 2016 \u2013 H1 2022. Deal activity is mainly driven by a high number of acquisitions in the road transport (24.3%) and a fast-growing number of transactions in the freight forwarding (22.4%), and contract logistics (14.6%) sub-segments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Increasing number of financial buyers are driving M&amp;A activity<\/strong><br \/>\nPrivate Equity investors have been involved in 21% of all transactions in H1 2022 which is significantly higher than the 9.5% in H1 2021. The rising interest of financial buyers in this sector is due to fragmentation of the market as well as a valuation gap that is present between large and small T&amp;L-companies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More cross-border acquisitions were observed<\/strong><br \/>\nDeal activity in the Transport &amp; Logistics sector is also driven by more cross-border acquisitions, especially in the Benelux. Both, European buyers as well as non- European buyers from the US, Canada, Middle East, and Africa have been driving this trend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European M&amp;A market in the Transport &amp;
