Summary:

Despite global economic concerns, investor confidence in India remains high, with 86% expecting increased investment, according to a Grant Thornton poll. In the first half of 2024, India completed 643 transactions totaling $17.1 billion. The consumer, retail, healthcare, and technology sectors are particularly attractive for investment. India's economic strength, including low deficits, substantial reserves, and rapid GDP growth, reinforces its status as a prime investment destination.

After a downturn in 2023, global deal-making rebounded in 2024, with an 8% increase in deal value and a 9% rise in volume, including 22 high-value transactions. Looking ahead, 48% of investors anticipate exceptional activity over the next three years, while 50% expect moderate activity. ESG considerations are becoming more prominent, with 55% of investors incorporating them into their evaluations. However, 57% of respondents are concerned about high valuations. Despite these challenges, private equity exits are expected to increase, although hurdles such as high valuations, geopolitical tensions, and evolving regulations remain.
