The Greek M&A market reached a historic turning point in 2025, with transaction values nearly doubling to €23.8 billion. This 90% increase over the previous year pushed the market past the €20 billion mark for the first time since 2008, signaling a return to pre-crisis levels of economic extroversion and investor confidence.According to a study by PwC Greece, this record-breaking year was driven by two distinct forces:High-Value "Megadeals": Massive transactions like the €9 billion Allwyn-OPAP deal and significant moves in the energy sector (notably Terna Energy) provided the bulk of the market's financial weight.Market Maturity: Nearly 45% of the total value came from minority stake transactions, suggesting that investors are increasingly seeking strategic partnerships and long-term placements rather than just outright control.The momentum shows no signs of slowing, with over €7 billion in deals already underway for 2026. Activity remains concentrated in four key pillars:Telecommunications & Tech: The most active sector by volume, with a surge in AI-related acquisitions and startups.Financial Services: A heavy focus on "bancassurance" and banking consolidations across the Mediterranean.Energy & RES: Driven by national climate goals, with a new emphasis on storage and battery projects.Food & Beverage: Seeing its highest activity in five years, fueled largely by private equity interest.
