Transactions: Retail and Consumer
In the last ten years, the primary focus of the retail and consumer goods industry has been the transition from traditional retail to online retail, as well as the shift to omni-channel shopping, which includes the use of social media and new marketing channels.
In addition, slow growth in mature markets, back-to-core strategies and strong interest in private equity investments have driven deals and restructuring activities. Old household names have given way to new household names.
The current key M&A topics in this industry are
- Expanding and/or securing new marketing channels
Evaluating the robustness and scalability of the underlying technologies
Flexibility of cost structures and how quickly they can be adapted to market changes
Setting up and developing supply chains, and analysing their impact on deal complexity (e.g. franchising, rental and supply agreements)
The importance of data analytics in supporting investment
Achieving a robust tax setup that is aligned with the operating model
