Market Commentary:

  • The global technology services sector demonstrated robust M&A activity during Q2 2025, with transaction volumes showing significant growth across multiple regions and maintaining momentum from the strong performance in Q1 2025. Deal volume in Q2 declined in the U.S. due to market fluctuations and instability resulting from new tariffs and unexpected market tension created by the current administration.
  • The ongoing digital transformation initiatives, AI adoption, and cloud migration continue to drive consolidation as companies seek specialized capabilities.
  • We expect M&A deal volume to increase in the technology services sector for the remainder of 2025 and into 2026 as technology spending continues to increase in AI, cloud computing, data analytics, and cybersecurity. AI is expected to drive an increase in IT services M&A activity over the next several years.
  • Artificial Intelligence, data analytics, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and software development competencies are strongest in demand and are expected to remain key areas of interest for buyers for the next 12-24 months. Demand for specialty IT consulting firms supporting application software platforms remains very strong, particularly for partners of applications that support large and growing market opportunities (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Snowflake, Databricks, ServiceNow, Salesforce, and others).
