We are pleased to present the 2025 Annual M&A Success Survey report, published in partnership with Global PMI Partners, E78 Partners and the University of Oxford's Saïd Business School. Our survey and report provide insights into the key behaviours of successful acquirors, along with strategies on how to respond to M&A challenges in uncertain times.
The 2025 Annual M&A Success Survey offers vital insights into how acquirors can drive greater success in mergers and acquisitions, exploring key factors behind successful deals including due diligence best practices, integration planning, M&A playbooks, technology use, and cost management.
Against the backdrop of a 7.3% decline in the number of worldwide announced M&A deals in 2024, 70% of transactions were rated successful or very successful. The report highlights the growing importance of structured integration, the use of virtual data rooms and post-merger integration software, and emphasizes the role of synergy tracking, operational discipline, and clear communication post-deal.
Essential reading for executives, investors, and advisors, this report provides actionable strategies for navigating today’s evolving M&A landscape.
