Packaging M&A Report Summer 2019

M&A activity in the packaging industry has accelerated through year-to-date (YTD) 2019 as both strategic buyers and financial sponsors aggressively pursue opportunities to consolidate the fragmented industry. Robust demand for packaging companies is expected to continue in the future due to (i) eCommerce growth (14%+ year-over-year in 2018), (ii) the rise in sustainable and cost efficient solutions, (iii) growth in on-the-go food and beverage and healthcare markets, and (iv) increasing interest from financial sponsors due to the industry’s defensive characteristics. Packaging companies with a comprehensive suite of custom and flexible packaging solutions, attractive margin profiles, less cyclical end markets and low cost manufacturing advantages are expected to gain buyer interest from leading industry players.
