“ The automotive sector is the leading industry sector for driving future transactions. Optimism in the sector has never been higher. Stronger balance sheets, combined with continued debt financing opportunities, are positioning automotive companies to embark on a new wave of transactional initiatives. Middle-market transactions, those valued up to US$250 million, will comprise the bulk of deals in the sector. Continued focus on expanding core product opportunities, coupled with increasing the mix of new products and services, are key criteria for driving M&A activity.”
