According to LSEG’s 2025 roundup, the global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market closed the year on a very positive note. Despite a 3% decline in the number of deals, total transaction value rose by 49%, reaching a four-year high.

Regional trends were also highly encouraging. In the Asia-Pacific region, M&A activity increased by 47% to US$869.3 billion, marking the strongest period for the region in four years. In Europe, M&A volumes rose by 23% to US$819.0 billion, a three-year high. Meanwhile, emerging markets recorded a 59% increase, with total M&A value reaching US$1.1 trillion, making 2025 the most active year since 2021.

Against this backdrop, Clairfield International highlights its contribution to this positive market momentum. Thanks to the trust of its clients worldwide, the LSEG review ranked Clairfield among the leading M&A advisors for transactions of all sizes across key regions and countries, including Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa, Italy, Australia, and Japan.

With a strong pipeline of ongoing transactions and sustained client activity across regions, Clairfield International enters 2026 with confidence.

The firm notes that it remains available to discuss what the year ahead may hold for M&A in different regions and to share its perspective on upcoming opportunities and market trends
