THE domestic deal street remained strong through the first half of 2025, with total deal value reaching $61.3 billion, up 50% from the same period last year, the highest since 2022, according to market data.
The number of transactions rose 9%, reflecting sustained market momentum, indicating high-value deals getting closed as the deal value soared 50% year-on-year to $61.3 billion, as per the data compiled by LSEG Deals Intelligence. This activity has been driven by a mix of domestic consolidation, energy transition, and strategic portfolio realignment.
Financial sponsors played a key role, particularly in sectors like insurance, technology, and healthcare, Elaine Tan, senior manager at LSEG Deals Intelligence, said on Wednesday.
