During the first half of 2020, M&A activity in the automotive industry was down from previous years due to uncertainty stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, with cross-border deals becoming more complex. However, the pandemic also resulted in new opportunities for consolidation within the industry.

By investing in the transportation and logistics sector, global companies open up the opportunity to advance the flow of goods throughout the world. Businesses in this industry, both domestic and international, benefit from integrated supply chain networks that connect companies and consumers through multiple transportation modes within industry subsectors.

Two of the most transformative factors in the world of automotive and technological development have been the advent of ride-hailing platforms and autonomous vehicles. They each create various mergers and acquisitions opportunities both individually and in concert with each other in various capacities on a global scale.

The transportation industry on a whole has seen major opportunities for investment thanks to a myriad of technological advancements such as self-driving cars, ride sharing and alternative fuels. As technology permeates all global industries, the aviation industry has its own unique circumstances, and must turn to acquisitions and market share to create competitive advantages in the 21st century.

The global logistics market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 3.48% from 2017 to 2022 to attain a market size of around $12.256 billion by 2022. These statistics are extremely encouraging for the longevity in relation to value in global logistics. Reasons for such financial increase has been pointed towards the increase of the technology sector and related systems, helping logistics to be more streamlined and efficient. Perhaps the biggest reason for growth is the increase in international trade agreements and policies which directly affect the industry, with these new trade agreements this gives existing vendors more room for expansion and also benefit from less restrictions geographically allowing for increased capacities.
