Global M&A Rise 10% to $1.9 Trillion in 2025: BCG Report

Global mergers and acquisitions activity is showing signs of recovery after a slow start to the year, with deal value rising 10% to $1.9 trillion through the first nine months of 2025, according to the 22nd Annual Global M&A Report released by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The rebound is led by experienced dealmakers making selective, strategic moves rather than a broad wave of optimism.
