Asia sits at the center of global growth, with dynamic economies, an expanding middle class and accelerating urbanization driving consumption and reshaping industries. These structural shifts have fueled substantial corporate and institutional capital flows, underpinning strong M&A activity across sectors like digital infrastructure, financial services, consumer & retail and industrials.

Arnaud Granger, responsible for Greenhill’s M&A business in Asia, discusses how financial sponsors have raised over $1 trillion to deploy in the region, supporting local and regional conglomerates pursuing growth, scale and consolidation opportunities both within Asia and in developed economies.

While the region presents compelling opportunities, complexity remains for dealmaking. Markets are at different stages of development, regulatory regimes are fragmented and regional business networks are entrenched locally and relationship-driven, requiring unique approaches to transactions.
