Why M&A is crucial for business growth
Industrial organizations and manufacturers have relied upon mergers and acquisitions for value creation. We’ve also witnessed leading businesses close multiple deals over the past decade by adopting a strategic approach to M&A. Moreover, with COVID-19 impacting business operations, ensuring attractiveness to mergers and acquisitions could become a solution to the economic revival of the industrial segments.
At Infiniti Research, we work with clients to help them analyze the market scenario, improve digital maturity, adopt new technologies, and find new M&A opportunities that can help gain an edge by differentiating themselves from their competitors.
As industrial companies are rethinking their growth strategies for the post-pandemic environment, our experts are noticing a strong inclination toward M&A activities as a solution to their quests for value creation. We further expect to see several trends in M&A that can help companies achieve their goals and drive outcomes in the new normal.
Trends impacting M&A activities in the industrial segments
Our market research experts have identified the top three trends that businesses in the industrial sectors, including automotive manufacturing, equipment manufacturing, and semiconductors, must consider as they plan their M&A and market expansion activities.
Digital manufacturing
Businesses usually focus on leveraging advanced technologies like IIoT and process automation to automate processes. With new digital manufacturing solutions paving their way into the industry, companies in the broader industrial segment could achieve significant revenue gains. Hence, it is evident that successful organizations will bounce back by digitally transforming themselves, the way they showcase products, and how they collaborate and conduct M&A programs.
With mergers and acquisitions becoming a top priority for businesses, it’s essential to note that those who adopt the right approach to market scanning and opportunity analysis will benefit the most. Request a free proposal for expert assistance and strategic M&A support.
Connected devices
Connectivity and ongoing digital transformations will significantly impact and shape trends in the industrial sector in the new normal. With innovation transforming the sector, achieving widespread results will require a complete overhaul of global infrastructures. This can be achieved with M&A becoming a crucial success factor. However, as conventional boundaries blur, connectivity through the use of IIoT is likely to proliferate, and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 crisis will help accelerate the shift.
Supply-chain disruption
While supply chain complexities have been increasing rapidly, not much change has been witnessed in digitizing supply chains in the industrial sectors. The lack of visibility into the entire network of suppliers, as a result, has prevented businesses from analyzing potential vulnerabilities and risks in the supply networks. Today, the pandemic has severely impacted supply chains, making the supply chain a top priority for C-suite executives and stakeholders. As a result, supply-chain digitization will help industrial companies gain greater supply chain visibility and better manage risks.
