The Deloitte 2022 Future of M&A Trends Survey found that deal-making activity is evolving beyond just acquisitions. Divestitures are also on the rise, and more executives are open to alternative strategies. The survey also highlighted the challenges and solutions in aligning corporate strategy, M&A strategy, and operating model limitations. The use of digital tools, virtual environments, and hybrid management of the M&A process is becoming more prevalent, as is interest in international deal-making. Respondents expect deal volume to increase or stay the same over the next 12 months.
