Consumer Goods & Retail M&A – 2024
CFI’s Consumer team has observed a significant decline in global M&A transaction volume within the consumer goods sector during Q4 2024. This downturn has been driven by a combination of international economic shifts and changing political landscape.
In this edition of the Consumer Goods & Retail Newsletter, we explore:
- Subsectors such as Food and Leisure remain dominant, while the valuation of the textile & apparel subsector continues to recover.
- Key transaction highlights from the quarter, offering insights into market trends.
- Significant deals facilitated by CFI, including the delisting of L’Occitane Group with €2 billion in financing, and Nodor Group’s sale of a majority stake to UK-based PE fund Inflexion.
As we prepare for our next global gathering in Paris in May 2025, our focus remains on identifying opportunities and navigating the evolving landscape with our clients. Together, we continue to shape the future of consumer goods and retail M&A.
