        "summary": "Global mid-market M&A activity declined in 2025 due to geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainty, though many transactions remain in the pipeline awaiting more stable market conditions. Indonesia continues to be an active M&A market with approximately US$6.2 billion across 102 transactions, with strong investor interest particularly in consumer growth, digital adoption, and sectors including fintech, technology, manufacturing, and sustainable energy. Future transaction activity is expected to increase with clearer global trade conditions, though investors will demand higher due diligence standards and more creative deal structures.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2013 Global mid-market transaction activity experienced a\ndecline in 2025 due to increased geopolitical tensions and trade tariff\nuncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, a number of delayed transactions remain in the pipeline\nas investors chose to wait for more favourable conditions.<\/p>\n<p>According to the BDO\u2019s M&amp;A Horizons 2026 report, the decline in\nglobal mid-market transaction activity in 2025 was also influenced by\nlimited strategic planning horizons amid economic uncertainty. However,\nthis condition does not fully reflect a permanent slowdown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany business owners and investors continue to maintain their\ntransaction plans and choose to wait for more stable market momentum\nbefore proceeding with deals,\u201d said BDO\u2019s Partner (Advisory) in\nIndonesia, Marvin Camangeg in a statement on Monday, 16 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>In the Asia-Pacific region, mid-market transactions increasingly\nbecame the primary focus of private equity activity. Investors tended to\nprioritise smaller-scale transactions focused on operational\nimprovements rather than large-scale acquisitions.<\/p>\n<p>In Southeast Asia, private equity recorded investments of\napproximately US$9.1 billion through 59 transactions in 2025, reflecting\nan increasingly selective investment environment.<\/p>\n<p>Indonesia itself remained an active M&amp;A market with a value of\napproximately US$6.2 billion from 102 transactions, demonstrating strong\ninvestor interest despite more cautious capital deployment.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, consumer growth and accelerated digital adoption\ncontinue to attract both domestic and international investors.\nMeanwhile, sectoral factors such as consolidation in financial services\nand growing interest in the technology, manufacturing, and sustainable\nenergy sectors further drove transaction activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing forward, investors will increasingly demand higher due\ndiligence criteria and more creative transaction structures. Should\nglobal trading conditions become clearer, transaction flows are expected\nto rebound, albeit with stricter selectivity levels,\u201d he stated.<\/p>",
