Retail & Branded Goods Insights 2005/6 is a forward-looking analysis of trends in, and drivers of, M&A activity from PricewaterhouseCoopers Corporate Finance.
A dynamic market always makes huge demands on its operators - wherever they are in the supply chain. This year, with the slowdown in consumer spending, has proved no different and has been challenging to many, but also an opportunity for some.
In this edition we consider recent M&A activity against this backdrop, note the re-emergence of the trade buyer and look beyond the UK to consider M&A activity in the consumer goods sector across Europe, and the increasing level of interest in the emerging market of India.
