Webinar: Industrial Automation Market Trends In 2024
Transaction numbers in the Industrial Automation (IA) sector show overall healthy activity, with projections for 2024 suggesting a continued positive trend. Fluctuations in transaction volumes highlight the dynamic nature of the IA sector, driven by strategic acquisitions and adaptations to economic and market trends. What were some of the most notable transactions closed this year, and what else can we expect to see in 2024?

- The biggest areas for growth, both organic and through M&A
- A history of valuations and where we expect multiples to go
- The M&A climate for the remainder of the year
