Strength Of The Global M&A Ad Tech Market
(# D
ea
ls)
Sources: Press releases, CapitalIQ, Corpfin, and Results’ Analysis
Adtech consolidation continues at pace – however there is substantial VC funding going into the sector and the number of new start-ups is outpacing the
number of acquisitions (Source: Luma Partners)
Key M&A drivers:
- Established players have been acquiring new capabilities/ technologies to extend their existing product suites
- Large internet conglomerates and technology companies continue to compete to remain ‘on top’ of new tech innovations and are
competitively scouring the market for the best start-ups and talent
- Yahoo, in particular, was a prolific acquirer in 2013 making over 30 acquisitions
The IPO market has recently opened for adtech including RocketFuel, Criteo and YuMe, however these parties have yet to use their currency to pursue
acquisitions
- As many of the recently IPO’d companies have large operating losses and without profitability in sight, these companies are unlikely to make
significant acquisitions unless a deal is highly strategic
