clyde & co – Insurance Growth Report 2024: Mid-year update

On a global scale, M&A activity remains marked by caution, much like in 2023. Buyers are more selective, prioritising deals that align strategically and culturally to avoid buyer remorse, while sellers are holding out for better offers amid more favourable market conditions. As we near the end of a period characterised by acute political uncertainty, high interest rates, and rampant inflation, stronger and more confident buyers may find themselves well-positioned to capitalise on opportunities from sellers who can no longer afford to wait.
