Nicholas Hall's Three More Years of M&A
Nicholas Hall Group, March 2011, Pages: 255
This report analyses key issues surrounding M&A in the OTC industry, as well as focusing on M&A activity in the Emerging Markets across Asia-Pacific, Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa. This is an essential tool for all OTC marketers keen to understand how M&A works, the benefits and challenges, and how to make it work for you.
Market Trends:
In the four years since Nicholas Hall's Another Year of M&A, organic growth has continued to elude most MNCS, mainly because this is a fragmented and conservative market. For many players, M&A has been the only source of growth. With a short pause in the first half of 2009, the pace of industry consolidation has been frenetic in the past decade, and yet the Top 10 players still account for only 31% of global OTC sales. The conundrum is that the main source of organic growth is coming from the Emerging Markets, where the MNCs are weaker.
Acquisition has been the path back to Consumer Healthcare for Pfizer and an entry point for MSD, and this report expects more of the same in the next 3 years, with GSK, Novartis and Pfizer among those making strategic bids in the consumer sector. Private equity also has an increased role to play. Overall, the Emerging Markets will be the main focus of M&A activity in the next 3 years and this report has a particular focus on the markets of Asia-Pacific, C&E Europe, Middle East and Latin America.
Key Benefits:
This report is an essential tool for all OTC marketers keen to understand how M&A works, the benefits and challenges, and how to make it work for you. As in Nicholas Hall's previous reports on this subject, this report has named names, including a detailed list of the most biddable companies. On reflection, many of the companies named in Nicholas Hall reports in the past were eventually taken over. This publisher expects to be just as accurate in the report predictions this time round.
