Market Update: IT Services & Software – Central & Eastern Europe Q4 2021
The deal activity in Central & Eastern Europe remains strong as buyers continue to show interest in this region in efforts to add off and nearshore capabilities as well as to capture the region’s expertise in the IT space. We expect the underlying M&A trends in Central & Eastern Europe to continue at the start of 2022 given the region’s high concentration of IT/Software talent, time zone advantage, and agile delivery methods.
7 Mile recorded 17 deals in the Q4 of 2021, an 11% decrease compared to Q3 2021. However, deal valuations remain high as both strategic and financial buyers have been aggressive over the past six months acquiring software development, cloud analytics, and digital commerce service companies across all countries in Central & Eastern Europe.
7MA has completed numerous M&A transactions for companies with outsourced operations and/or delivery centers in Central & Eastern Europe and has developed unparalleled deal expertise and knowledge of the industry trends, valuation trends, and most active strategic and financial buyers.
