Get an in-depth look at key trends & players shaping seafood deal-making

Undercurrent News has used its extensive network of contacts in seafood mergers and acquisitions (M&A), from bankers to industry executives, to put together the most comprehensive report ever produced on the global consolidation race in the seafood sector.

Backed with tables, maps and charts, Seafood's Top Dealmakers: Cross-border, cross-sector consolidation gathers pace offers a detailed insight into the key trends prevailing in seafood M&A, along with an overview of its main players, be it buyers or advisors.

The core of the report consists of a detailed table of the 200+ transactions that we've identified for 2015 up to May 2017. For each of these, we've listed the deal value, names of the sell-side and buy-side advisors -- where that information was available -- alongside the acquirer and target sector and country.

The raw data for the table, along with the 20+ supporting maps, charts and tables, is also available in a complementary Excel sheet provided with the report.

The report also looks at the role of financial players in the M&A scene, and identifies the most active financial, and industry, acquirers for the period.

Finally, it explores one over-arching trend that was highlighted by multiple bankers and analysts that we spoke to: the expansion of large, diversified companies into new species, sectors and geographies -- a trend expected to continue driving further seafood deals.
