The transportation and logistics (T&L) sector saw a total deal value of $29.7 billion with 52 disclosed deals from November 2023 to April 2024, compared to a $22 billion deal value and 47 disclosed deals in the prior six months. Although stable, these numbers represent only 61% and 68% of the levels seen before COVID-19.
T&L companies are facing several economic challenges, including rising operating costs and high capital costs that contrast with low freight rates. Customers also still expect the same level of service standards set during COVID-19, which continually pushes the competitive bar higher. From an M&A perspective, strategic investors have been much more active than their financial counterparts in the sector, accounting for 86% of deal volume and 91% of deal value in the last six months.
