Branding is also key, and the most important valuation driver. As a general rule, processors are steering their strategies towards access to large retailers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key insights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There is enthusiastic buy-side demand from leading mid-cap processors and large diversified groups, seeking strong brands and innovative product ranges that tap new growth trends. Other important considerations include market share, geographic reach and vertical integration that exploits synergies in the value chain. Europe is receiving the lion\u2019s share of M&amp;A &#8211; almost half of all global deals.<\/li>\n<li>The European industry is widely fragmented, and mostly localized in its outlook. Mid-caps with undifferentiated product offerings are underperforming, while those with attractive brands, a broad product assortment and access to large customer bases (supermarkets) are performing well. Customers with access to high-growth emerging markets are a major bonus.<\/li>\n<li>Growth rates are a mixed bag. Best-in-class players are targeting niche growth themes such as convenience, premium, regional branding, organic and welfare. These businesses tend to have excellent customer relationships with large retailers, as well as an innovative and responsive approach to product development. That said, retail customers (ie. supermarkets) operate in a highly concentrated market and wield much greater market power.<\/li>\n<li>Private Equity (PE) is an active market participant, seeking buy &amp; build platforms and market consolidation plays. PE is present in around one-third of all deals in Europe. Businesses operating in \u2018hot\u2019 new market segments, and with access to attractive export markets are the most highly sought after by financial investors.<\/li>\n<li>Valuations vary widely, depending on positioning. As a general rule, \u2018category captains\u2019 and processors with access to leading retail customers are receiving 7x to 10x EBITDA multiples, while undifferentiated mid-caps are receiving between 4x and 6x EBITDA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meat processors eyeball a larger plate European processors are using M&amp;A to tap growth and answer strategic challenges \u2013 over&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":8287,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3801],"tags":[],"news-event-type":[],"dealtype":[],"class_list":["post-5952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sectornews-de","ps-food-agro-de"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v20.10 (Yoast SEO v26.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Meat processing - Sector and M&amp;A report | Investec Business Advisory<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"European processors are using M&amp;A to tap growth and answer strategic challenges, almost half of all deals worldwide have been located in Europe.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Meat processing - Sector and M&amp;A report\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"European processors are using M&amp;A to tap growth and answer strategic challenges, almost half of all deals worldwide have been located in Europe.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/working.capitalmind.com\/de\/meat-processing-sector-and-ma-report\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Investec Business Advisory\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-07-25T22:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-08-26T09:21:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/working.capitalmind.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/jez-timms-48940-unsplash-1024x684.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"684\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"MarjonHaagen\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"MarjonHaagen\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2\u00a0Minuten\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/working.capitalmind.com\/de\/meat-processing-sector-and-ma-report\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/working.capitalmind.com\/de\/meat-processing-sector-and-ma-report\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"MarjonHaagen\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/working.capitalmind.com\/de\/#\/schema\/person\/be3872d80544a803e5b984285ab034b3\"},\"headline\":\"Meat processing &#8211;
