Global Transportation & Logistics Mergers and Acquisitions analysis Quarterly briefing—Fourth quarter 2007

Total transportation and logistics deal volume reached a 20-year high toppling the prior record reached in 2006. Despite the record number of deals, total deal value in 2007 experienced a significant drop, down from the 20-year high set in 2006. Based on value, Western European firms have been the leading acquisition targets for M&A deals worth more than $50 million in 2007. Also notable is the increase in deal value for Asia Pacific targets during the fourth quarter of 2007. The spike in value during the fourth quarter was a result of the announcement of several large deals for targets in Turkey and Singapore.
