The Deal Maker’s Briefing
Exploring M&A in Asia Pacific








In December 2025, global M&A activity surged to US$615.6 billion—the strongest monthly total since records began in 1980. The momentum heading into 2026 sparked real optimism that we were on the cusp of an M&A super‑cycle. But as we approach Q2, the key question is: has the landscape shifted?

Early 2026 data suggests Asia‑Pacific may be setting the tone. January’s takeover bid for Australia’s BlueScope Steel of US$8.8 billion, at the time, helped drive Asia‑Pacific deal volume up 19% to US$50.8 billion, marking a four‑year high. The region accounted for 23% of all global deal making in January 2026—its largest share in three years and a strong signal of where strategic momentum may be building.

Unlock sharper deal making insights this quarter by joining our exclusive webinar. In just one session, you’ll gain a decisive, data‑driven view of the Asia‑Pacific M&A landscape—equipping you with the intelligence you need as we move into Q2.
