In 2025, market enthusiasm surged further, with 95 newly disclosed M&A transactions, of which 29 entailed the issuance of shares or convertible bonds, and 7 were significant cash transactions. Both pivotal indicators registered substantial year-on-year growth.

However, as of the current point in 2025, 36 transactions have already been declared, not only significantly outpacing the entire year's total for 2024 but also surpassing the cumulative total for the six-year period from 2019 to 2024. This underscores a clear trend toward industrial integration.
