In 2024, M&A activity in the consumer sector showed signs of
recovery, driven by renewed investor confidence and strategic
transformations. The health and wellness subsector, in
particular, saw heightened demand, fueled by interest in sciencebacked solutions, wearable tech, and at-home diagnostics.
Despite lingering macroeconomic uncertainties, deal values
increased, with a shift towards fewer but higher-value
transactions. Private equity drove a wave of take-private deals
as investors sought long-term value in a rapidly evolving
market. Companies also focused on digital transformation,
acquiring technology-driven businesses to enhance customer
engagement and streamline operations.
