After a challenging period, the Benelux Digital Consumer M&A market \u2013 with a focus on e-commerce and marketplaces \u2013 is improving again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 20 private equity firms are already active in the Benelux market only, and with many holdings maturing, deal activity is expected to rise. At Investec, we’ve mapped the key players, KPIs, technology and valuation trends in a dedicated insight report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As can be seen on the chart below, Marketplaces consistently trade at higher EBITDA multiples than traditional E-commerce players, with a peak in early 2021 driven primarily by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, since mid-2021, as economies reopened and consumer behavior normalized, both sectors have seen more stable multiples, with marketplaces typically maintaining a premium over traditional E-commerce due to scalability and an asset-light model.<\/p>\n\n\n
