For years, we at Detecon have been actively supporting our clients in acquiring and integrating other organizations within the telecommunications industry. Thereby, our consultants have been observing worldwide transaction trends and mergers & acquisitions activities (M&A) in the global telecommunication markets. This “Telco Mergers and Acquisitions Spotlight” will highlight these observations from the past year and provide strategic insights into the most recent market developments, present selected use cases and explain the underlying rationale of those mergers. Finally, it will provide an outlook for possible M&A activities in 2019 and beyond. Mergers and acquisitions can be a valuable lever in building new digital business models or facilitating digital transformation. Furthermore, they are commonly used to generate growth, create synergies and reduce risk through diversification. Hence, it is not surprising that during a time characterized by increasing market uncertainty, the year 2018 has seen fewer transactions than in previous years. However, it was a record year for high-value M&A deals which can be seen in a comparison between 2017 and 2018 (Figure 1: Average deal value ($bn), 3Q17 vs.
