to hit a total of USD 4.8 tn, which would make 2025 the second-strongest year on record for M&A, Bain & Company said in a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bain.com\/insights\/looking-back-m-and-a-report-2026\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">new report<\/a>.

Around 40% of these agreements were \u201ctransformative,\u201d meaning they were worth more than half the buyer\u2019s market cap.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Tech did the heavy lifting: <\/strong>Technology M&A surged more than 75% y-o-y, powered by AI-related agreements. Nearly half of strategic tech transaction value was tied to AI-native targets or capabilities, underscoring how acquirers are choosing to buy transformation rather than build it slowly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Growth is back in fashion. <\/strong>Roughly 60% of large transactions in 2025 targeted revenue expansion or new capabilities \u2014 the highest share on record \u2014 reversing the cost-cutting, consolidation-heavy playbooks that dominated during the downturn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Still, M&A lost the budget fight: <\/strong>Despite the rebound, companies allocated just 7% of total capital spending to acquisitions \u2014 a decade low \u2014 as capex and R&D took priority. The Magnificent Seven alone spent nearly USD 500 bn on capex and R&D through 3Q, crowding out dealmaking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>US and China were still the two biggest M&A markets: <\/strong>US targets drove nearly half of global strategic transaction value growth, while Greater China led by transaction count thanks to domestic activity.
