GLOBAL BUYERS REPORT 2023

For the eighth year, we’re pleased to present the findings from our annual survey of global Strategic buyers and Private Equity investors across the Knowledge Economy.

12 months ago, buyers were still riding high on almost 18 months of record-breaking level of M&A activity. Today, with the unique combination of record levels of available capital and increasing interest rates, our survey finds that buyers want to be active and remain optimistic. The majority of respondents say the economic outlook has had no impact on their M&A plans, and are bullish in their long-term outlook, which suggests any slow-down in 2023 is likely to be short-lived.
