In 2024, the buyout market experienced a noticeable upturn thanks to improving economic conditions, with an increase in transactions particularly in the USA and Europe, while Asia showed varied regional dynamics. Take-private transactions and carve-outs were particularly dynamic, illustrating a growing desire on the part of companies to leave public markets for greater flexibility. Investors' caution in the face of macroeconomic risks reduced fund-raising, but also created attractive investment opportunities, while the strategy of GP-LED transactions continues to grow as an alternative to traditional exits.
