The **total value** of global cross-border mergers and acquisitions involving mid-sized companies rose to **€180 billion** last year – a sharp increase after a post-Covid slump.

 

 

The **average deal value** in the sector was **€50.6 million in 2024**, which is higher than each of the past six years except 2021 when there was a short bounce after the pandemic.

**The cross-border mid-market segment outperformed the total M&A market** last year in terms of volume and growth in the average value of deals. **Financial buyers** were **behind four-out-of-ten acquisitions** in 2024, a proportion that edged up on the 2023 position and reflects the **continuing interest of private equity and venture capital**.

**Vlerick Business School** and **Moore Global Corporate Finance** have joined forces again to gain data-driven insight in these trends and bundle the conclusions in their yearly **Cross-border Mid-market M&A Compass**, which focuses on transactions involving companies valued between €10 million and €200 million.

**Kerstin Fehre**, **professor of Strategy at Vlerick Business School**, will be glad to share the recent findings and conclusions during this insightful webinar. She will also be available to answer your questions.
