Translink Corporate Finance has presented its report “Industrials M&A Insights 2025”, which analyzes the recent evolution of mergers and acquisitions activity in the industrial sector, as well as the key trends shaping the market.
The study highlights a significant shift in industrial M&A dynamics: total transaction value has increased by more than €60 billion, despite deal volume declining by approximately 10%. This reflects an environment in which fewer transactions are executed, but they are larger in size and more selective in nature from an investor perspective.
According to the report, this transformation is being driven by developments across several key subsectors, including aerospace and defense, automotive, industrial technology and machinery, as well as packaging and plastics.
In this context, higher-quality assets are commanding higher multiples in an increasingly demanding market. The report also underscores that the geopolitical environment has undergone substantial changes in 2026, while fluctuations in energy prices continue to have a significant impact on corporate performance.
Despite this scenario—marked by ongoing uncertainty since the 2008 financial crisis—the market has demonstrated a growing ability to adapt, reinforcing a more resilient approach among both companies and investors.
The report forms part of the work carried out by the Industrials group at Translink Corporate Finance, led by Oscar Llaudet Casellas, Partner at Translink CF Spain, and provides a detailed analysis of the trends, valuations, and dynamics shaping the future of the sector.
