The Romanian mergers and acquisitions market rose by 17 percent in 2016 to EUR 3.6 billion, says a PwC Romania analysis. The M&A market will continue to grow in 2017, as well as sectors such as medical, industrial and fast moving consumer goods, also attract new investments, according to the professional services firm.

PwC transaction experts say the local M&A market will continue its increasing trend in 2017, capitalizing in areas such as medical services and pharmaceutics, industrial production and fast moving consumer goods, as well as on the tendency for companies that developed production capacities in Asia to relocate them towards Eastern Europe, including Romania.

“Locally, there is a growing interest for transactions based on the ongoing consolidation processes begun the previous years. We can feel a certain effervescence in the local market, many negotiations and discussions are being carried, and more transactions are being initiated by both sellers and buyers. We see a growing number of entrepreneurs interested in the prospect of selling their company, which helps them receive an indication of the market value of their business, although not all discussions are concluded in actual deals,” explains Cornelia Bumbacea, leader of the Transactions team, PwC Romania.

Some 140 deals were announced on the local market last year, according to PwC.
