Driven by a series of year-end transactions, as of Thursday, December 4th, global M&A transactions have reached $3.3 trillion this year, a 37% increase from 2024, making it potentially the best year since 2021 ($3.8 trillion). The data shows this growth is more pronounced in the United States, where M&A transactions by U.S. companies have increased by 53% to nearly $1.8 trillion, slightly below the peak level of 2021.
