Baltic Private M&A Deal Points Study 2024 is out now: Energy & utilities sector is most active in the M&A market
Despite turbulent times in macroeconomic and geopolitical situations over the past few years, the Baltic M&A market has been reasonably active, especially in Lithuania, according to the recent “Baltic Private M&A Deal Points Study 2024”.
The energy and utilities sector is the most active in the Baltic M&A market, accounting for 23% of all transactions during the latest survey period. It is followed by technology (12%) and construction and real estate (10%) sectors.
During the survey period, the value of a typical Baltic M&A transaction fell back to the EUR 1-10 million bracket, and the share of megadeals (over EUR 100 million) continued a downward trend.
The Baltic M&A counterparties are generally comfortable using internationally acknowledged transaction tools, such as price adjustments, MAC clauses, and liability limitations (warranty limitation periods, overall caps, claim baskets, and thresholds). However, R&W insurance is still very seldom used in Baltic M&A transactions.
The study analysed 179 private M&A transactions with a deal value of over EUR 1 million completed in the Baltics between April 2022 and March 2024. The report gives a detailed overview of the Baltic mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market compared to previous periods, including the most active sectors, sales processes and forms of transactions, payment terms, liability provisions, and much more.

The Baltic M&A deal points studies have been published since 2010 to analyse the current status and trends of the Baltic M&A market.
