Mergermarket is pleased to present Dealmakers: Mid-market M&A in Australia 2024 – Mid-year report, published in association with Pitcher Partners.

The first half of 2024 saw a notable shift towards more strategic investments, as rampant M&A in Australia fuelled by the unique conditions of the pandemic gives way to more deliberate dealmaking. Today, dealmakers in Australia are prioritising investments that promise clear strategic benefits, aligning closely with long-term objectives rather than short-term gains.

While Australia certainly offers opportunities that fit these evolving criteria and investment goals, the mid-market (deals valued between AU$10m and AU$250m) represents a particularly significant area of interest – and one where new opportunities continue to emerge.
