Market Update: Consumer Goods & Manufacturing – Q2 2021

---

Consumer Goods:

The consumer goods industry heavily relies on the economy and consumers’ willingness to purchase goods. The Market update combines consumer goods into two categories: durables (longer lifespan) vs. non-durables (shorter lifespan). The decline in Q2 2021 consumer products M&A was likely the result of April’s *$3.21 trillion decrease in personal income – a decrease of 13.1% from March levels.

Manufacturing:

Recovering from COVID in early 2020, the consumer manufacturing industry has seen a 62% increase in M&A transactions from Q32020 to Q42020. 2021 M&A momentum is likely to continue as companies look to close transactions before the year-end.
