DC.MD.VA Chapter Event – Logistics, Investors, and Dealmaking in 2022

Will the logistics sector be a bullseye for investors in 2022? An estimated $1.5 trillion in private capital is looking for deals in 2022 and approximately 10-12% of that cash is seeking acquisitions in the logistics sector. Lower middle-market logistics companies have become attractive targets for strategic and private equity investors seeking depth and breadth for their portfolios. With logistics company sales estimated to total more than $200 billion in 2022, it could be another year of frenzy dealmaking, especially for companies that can cut delivery times, utilize artificial intelligence and machine learning to drive efficiencies, or offer unusually strong workforce competencies.
