Lumina launches 2025 Cross-Border M&A Insights report

Written By Lumina Advisers

Lumina is delighted to release our “2025 Cross-Border Insights” report.

The report examines the key themes driving dealmaking between the UK and the Middle East, and our predictions of what will drive 2025 M&A.

  • Almost 50% of Middle East deals are now cross-border - with inbound M&A transactions exceeding outbound deals for the first time. Deal making and investment is now truly two-way.

  • Regional champions to become global champions - emerging across sectors such as infrastructure, logistics, AI / data centres and advanced manufacturing as regional market leaders expand outside of home markets.

  • International Private Equity firms to accelerate entry into the region - global asset managers’ approach of patient, long term and highly strategic acquisitions across the region to be a model for mid-market cohorts ramping up investment activity.

  • Further regional geopolitical and economic stability to drive deal activity - with greater need for international cooperation across AI and technology to defence and cybersecurity through strategic international collaborations driving transactions in these sectors.
