Key Market Trends & Insights:

Italy's private equity market is increasingly investing in digital transformation, targeting technology firms specializing in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and digital marketing. This trend is driven by acquisitions aimed at enabling traditional companies to enhance technological capabilities and innovate in response to market demands.

Foreign private equity funds now constitute about 60% of Italy’s PE market, drawn by Italy's diverse economy and undervalued small and medium enterprises (SMEs). These foreign players are rewriting investment rules, focusing on sectors like fashion, design, and agri-food, and benefiting from relatively low valuation multiples in Italy compared to other European countries.

Sustainability is a major investment driver as private equity firms prioritize companies with strong ESG (environmental, social, and governance) practices. Sectors such as green energy, manufacturing, and logistics are experiencing increased M&A activity fueled by PE investments seeking innovation and resilient supply chains.

Many Italian family-owned companies are entering succession phases, creating significant M&A opportunities. Private equity investors are helping these firms in governance restructuring and attracting external management to ensure growth and continuity, thus fueling deal activity in this segment.

Italy’s PE market shows increased deal volumes across multiple sectors including software development, industrial machinery, automotive components, and medical services. With approximately 240 acquisitions in recent times, the market is diversifying beyond traditional industries, reflecting expanding investment appetite.
