In the first five months of 2017, M&A deal activity in the
freight and logistics industry remained relatively flat compared to
2016. Acquisition activity continues to be driven by strategic
buyers, who completed 92% of transactions through May, 2017. Rising
uncertainty regarding international trade, along with still modest
economic expansion and growing cost pressures (regulations,
insurance, foreign exchange on input costs, etc.) have made it
difficult for companies to achieve growth organically. Strategic
acquisitions may be a solution.
