TRENDS TO WATCH IN GERMANY’S PE SECTOR
Navigating International Markets:
Chemicals & Industrials, Technology & Media, and Business Services accounted for 74% of total middle market deal volume in the DACH region in Q1 2016
“Distressed asset investments have bottomed out in recent years as high liquidity and near-zero interest rates have helped a number of struggling entities delay restructurings, leading many equity houses specializing in this space to diversify to other segments of the market where deal flow was stronger. The rising tide has lifted all boats, including those with leakages – many of the restructurings that have been delayed remain inevitable and we expect to see opportunities for PE firms to invest in distressed assets crop up again in the near future.”
– Michael Maxeiner, BDO Germany
From 2011 to 2015, deal value in Berlin increased 78% and deal volume nearly doubled
“Germany has actually been a beneficiary of the Eurocrisis to date. German businesses were able to take advantage of the economic conditions to boost exports and grow international sales.”
– Michael Maxeiner, BDO Germany
2015 saw a 30% increase in deal volume and a 206% increase in deal value compared to 2009 lows
Between 2011 & 2015, Germany’s PE and VC industries completed the 3rd highest volume and value of transactions in Europe
Technology and consumer deals accounted for 94% of new deal activity in Berlin
Deals in other major cities, including Munich, Hamburg and Cologne declined; deal volume was collectively down 28% from 2011 to 2015
