Transportation
and Logistics
Sector performance
In 2023, M&A activity in the transportation and
logistics sector was propelled by energy transition,
electric vehicle battery technology, advanced analytics
and smart maintenance, and advanced air mobility.
Ocean and air carriers looked to drive efficiency and
scale their networks through acquisitions of
freight forwarding, warehousing, and surface
transportation providers.
Strategic investors continued to focus on assets, such
as airports, rolling stock, logistics hubs, storage
terminals, and ports. Businesses also looked to
enhance global supply chains and increasingly invested
in last-mile delivery capabilities.
