Consuming Deals (Issue 4): What is happening in the consumer products market?

Consuming Deals aims to give those involved in the consumer products sector a concise overview of some important M&A trends, as well as an insight into how CMS can help your business thrive in this fast moving sector.

The consumer products sector continues to perform strongly across Europe and was third highest by completed deal volume in 2014. This issue includes recent M&A trend data which indicates that the sector's recovery in Western Europe was marked during 2014, with significant increases in total deal values being seen in particular in the UK and Ireland, the Germanic countries and France. Whilst total deal values have suffered setbacks in Southern and Eastern Europe, high volumes of deals are still being done, indicating that there are opportunities for business in the sector right across the continent.

We hope that you enjoy this latest issue of Consuming Deals and look forward to working with you in the future.
