Further, we have analyzed and listed key M&A transactions in the European clothing business from 2014 and would like to share them with you.

The report contains performance and valuation guidance based on publicly traded companies as well as transaction multiples observed in recent M&A deals. Further, it lists in a structured way about 80 acquisitions of European furniture companies since January 2013. 

The current market environment of low interest rates and loose monetary policy has encouraged investors to seek higher yields, often by engaging in M&A activities, which can also be observed in the furniture industry. The report should therefore provide initial insights on potential acquirers and the valuations applied in different sub-groups of the industry.
