Consumer & Internet

The sector is currently undergoing a profound transformation, driven by rapid digitalization and the rise of e-commerce. Companies must continuously expand and optimize their digital sales channels to meet the expectations of increasingly online-savvy customers. At the same time, there is growing pressure to offer environmentally friendly and sustainable products and packaging as consumers become increasingly conscious shoppers. Global supply chains remain strained by geopolitical uncertainties and pandemic-related disruptions, creating additional challenges in logistics. Consumer behaviour is changing rapidly, with personalized shopping experiences and convenience becoming increasingly important. In addition, competition from both traditional retailers and new, purely digital market players is more intense than ever. Companies need to act quickly and flexibly in order to remain competitive. Investments in new technologies and innovative business models are crucial.

Strong competition and the growing importance of e-commerce are driving many companies to make strategic acquisitions to strengthen their market position. Sustainability and environmental awareness are also key drivers as companies look for partners and acquisitions that can help them implement greener products and processes. The ongoing challenges in global supply chains are increasing interest in mergers that can improve the resilience and efficiency of logistics. Overall, the dynamic market environment offers numerous opportunities for M&A activities that drive growth and innovation in the sector.
