M&A market awaiting a boom in 2025: Experts

The mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market is eyeing a booming year in 2025 when delayed deals are likely to resume thanks to a better business environment, according to experts.

In the first three quarters of 2024, Vietnam’s M&A recorded 3.2 billion USD worth of transactions, a 46% increase over the previous year.

A boom is expected for the M&A market of Vietnam in 2025 as investors’ interest is diversifying to many new and attractive sectors besides old ones like real estate, consumption and industry.

Experts predicted that activity will improve in 2025, with delayed deals likely to resume thanks to the return of investors, particularly from Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, and the US.

The Vietnamese Government’s active support for high-growth sectors, infrastructure development, and digitalisation is expected to play a key role in revitalising the market. Foreign investors remain optimistic about the outlook of the Vietnamese economy and its real estate sector, and will continue pursuing their strategy to expand and diversify investment portfolios in the country./.
