TMT analysis: The economic uncertainty caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had a material impact on public M&A activity in the first half of the year, with activity particularly reduced in Q2 2020. However, twelve (54%) of the 22 possible and firm offers announced in H1 2020 were in the TMT, Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals sectors, reflecting the increased demand for goods and services in these sectors as a result of the pandemic. The LexisNexis® Market Tracker trend report for H1 2020 includes in-depth analysis of the 12 firm offers and 10 possible offers announced and provides insight into what to expect to see in H2 2020 and beyond.
