Food & Beverage

Historically considered as a traditional and GDP-growth type sector, the food and beverage market is evolving toward a high growth, more specialized and global network. The Food and Beverage industry is facing major transformation driven by shifts in the supply chain, changing consumer preferences (e.g. wellness, health, ethnic, convenience), rapid food innovation and strong macro dynamics in many geographical regions.

M&A activity is robust, fuelled by multiple categories of strategic players seeking consolidation, geographical expansion and innovation/products/services add-on opportunities while increasing penetration in faster-growing, more specialized categories. In addition, food and beverage interest and investment by the private equity community continues to accelerate in pursuit of buy-and-build strategies worldwide.
