2025 Commentary
The May mid-market private equity dashboard shows a third consecutive month of declining deal activity, with a 12% drop in deal numbers and a 25% decrease in volume. The $10M to $100M range accounted for ~66% of volume, highlighting mid-market resilience. Dry powder slightly increased, indicating available capital.
Cautious sentiment, driven by macroeconomic uncertainties and rising interest rates, suggests firms may focus on smaller, high-quality mid-market deals, particularly in technology and healthcare. Over the next few months, persistent volatility could further suppress volumes, but stabilizing conditions may trigger a rebound, leveraging dry powder to meet pent-up demand.
