In 2012, the world market is in turmoil, and the downturn of overseas economy reduced the estimated valuation of companies. Therefore, the M&A appetite of domestic enterprises has become bigger. In 2012, although the number and the amount of completed M&A transaction declined, the amount of announced transaction went up to the highest level in recent 6 years. The key part of increase was M & A transactions in overseas, and the industry with biggest amount of M&A transactions was energy and mining. In addition, because of the limit in IPO exit channel, PE institutions began to favor acquisitions exit. Looking ahead to 2013, the amount of M&A will continue to rise. In terms of industries in M&A market, the proportion in energy and mining industry will decrease, and the proportion in industries of domestic demand, i.e., health care, food and beverage, domestic logistics, etc., will rise. <<
