The food and beverage industry continues to experience significant M&A activity from both strategic and financial buyers. Strategic buyers are looking to M&A to expand market share, aid R&D, add capacity, and revamp their brand portfolios. In addition, private equity and family offices remain aggressive in most M&A processes, given their strong interest in the space due to its defensive nature and long-term growth characteristics. Winning buyers often are paying robust valuations as a result of this competitive M&A environment.

In SC&H Capital’s latest food and beverage M&A report, we discuss the following topics:

- Current Food & Beverage M&A Landscape
- The Rise of the Contract Manufacturer
- Short-term Impacts of COVID-19 on Consumer Habits

The report highlights the desirable investment characteristics of the industry, high level of competition amongst buyers, and seller-favorable negotiating leverage, which we expect will continue to drive significant M&A activity in the food and beverage sector over the long term.
