I lead the team at Flippa. We are the leading marketplace globally to buy and sell sites, stores and digital properties. We empower individuals and companies to take control, to take ownership and thrive in this new small business economy.
Global mergers and acquisition (M&A) activity hit a record high for the third straight month in May, driven mainly by low interest rates, soaring equities and higher dealmaking interest in sectors that have received a boost from the COVID-19 pandemic.
There's no evidence of a sensational shift in market conditions in the near term. I sense that M&A activity will thrive in food & beverage and eRetail with consolidation. For other industries, the surge to an online economy will force the hand of many. They’ll see no other way but to acquire innovation as they’ll need to leverage data and analytics found in digital players and their platforms / ecosystems.
