DAX/MDAX global M&A survey

DAX and MDAX companies still tend to turn ‘West’ when looking for significant inorganic growth opportunities. In the last decade, deals in the US made up 53 percent of total M&A investments of these companies by value and 18 percent by volume. This suggests that US assets are particularly prized by German companies, which may find it hard to identify attractive M&A opportunities closer to home and to succeed in the US market through organic growth alone.
