Let's make a deal—in gaming! Gaming M&A is growing on the back of consolidation, portfolio plays, and game tech
Video game companies are thriving, and so is the market for buying and selling them. In 2022, deal flow—the number of gaming deals—accelerated. We predict that in 2023, the number of game company mergers and acquisitions will increase by around 25%, slightly slower than the estimated 30% quarterly growth in 2022. We further predict overall deal value in 2023 will likely decline considerably, year-over-year, but only because of a few historically exceptional deals in 2022
Learn MoreTMT divestitures make a comeback: 2023 deal values in tech, media, and telecom may bounce back strongly
We predict that the total value of TMT divestitures in 2023 could expand by 25-50% year-over-year to range from US$250-300 billion, well above the US$244 billion average for the period 2016-2020. The increase in total value will likely come from a rise in both deal values and volumes as the business and investment environment improves and deal volume returns to historic levels.
