Methodology and sourcing behind the figures shown above.
Cloud M&A advisory
Used global M&A advisory market figures from sources in the search results as baseline (Reanin ~USD 28.6B 2025; BusinessResearchInsights ~USD 29.3B 2026). Estimated cloud M&A advisory as a subset: assume technology-related advisory represents a meaningful portion of the market (technology + healthcare cited as leading sectors), and within technology allocate ~40–50% of advisory activity to cloud-native businesses (SaaS/PaaS/IaaS); using a midpoint yields ~13–14% of total M&A advisory revenue. Applied that share to the ~USD 29B base to estimate ~USD 3.9B for cloud M&A advisory. For growth, cloud-native deal activity and tech-sector M&A typically outpace overall M&A; using higher-growth scenarios in the search results (TrendX’s higher CAGR scenarios) as an upper bound and adopting a conservative midpoint yields an estimated CAGR ~8.5% for the cloud M&A advisory segment.
- Mergers And Acquisitions Advisory Market was valued at USD 28,622.01 million in the year 2025; CAGR 2.6%.
- The Mergers And Acquisitions Advisory Market globally is expected to be valued at USD 29.28 Billion in 2026; CAGR 2.5%.
- M&A Advisory Market projected to grow from USD 52.00 Bn in 2025 to USD 120.62 Bn by 2034; CAGR 9.80% (2026–2034).
SaaS and software M&A advisory
Estimated SaaS & software M&A advisory market derived by applying a conservative average advisory fee (~2% of transaction value) to reported annual SaaS M&A deal value (~$180B in 2025), cross-checked against high deal volumes (TTM ~2,784) and overall SaaS market scale and growth (SaaS market $333B in 2023, CAGR ~13.7%). Growth potential (CAGR ~10%) reflects continued expansion of SaaS market and elevated M&A activity, tempered by valuation resets and fee-pressure on larger transactions.
- The global SaaS market was valued at approximately $333 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $819 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 13.7%.
- 2025 set records for SaaS deal volume, with 17 mega-deals ... total announced deal value surpassing $180 billion.
- TTM deal volume reached 2,784 transactions, up 16% from 2Q25.
- a total of 3,598 SaaS deals were recorded for the analyzed period
IT services and MSP M&A advisory
Estimate based on reported global M&A advisory market (USD 28.62B in 2025) and the share of technology/IT-related deal activity. Reanin’s advisory market provides the fee pool baseline; technology and healthcare drive >40% of deals so IT services/MSP advisory plausibly captures a material subset. Cross-checked with large underlying IT services and MSP end markets (MSP: USD 312B→658B, CAGR 11.4%; managed services: USD 412.7B in 2025, 8.9% CAGR; IT services: USD 1.11T→1.67T, CAGR 8.38%) which support elevated deal volume and faster advisory growth than the overall advisory market. Applying a conservative share of the advisory pool (~15–20%) yields ~USD 3–6B; midpoint used (USD 5.0B). Growth CAGR (6.5%) reflects stronger tailwinds in IT/MSP M&A versus the broader advisory market (Reanin 2.6%), but below the highest end-market service growth rates.
- Mergers And Acquisitions Advisory Market was valued at USD 28,622.01 million in the year 2025.
- Technology and Healthcare Sectors Lead in Transaction Volume…contribute over 40% of M&A deals.
- MSP sector will expand from USD 312 billion in 2023 to USD 658 billion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 11.4%.
- Market Size Value in 2025: USD 412.72 Billion; projected to reach USD 705.22 billion by 2031, CAGR 8.9%.
- IT services market projected from $1.11 trillion in 2023 to $1.67 trillion by 2028, CAGR 8.38%; MSP market $267B to $552B, CAGR 12.9%.
Sell-side M&A advisory and value enhancement
Estimate based on search results and industry assumptions. Search results show active demand for sell-side mandates (MergersCorp reports a $10B+ portfolio of sell-side mandates) and buyer dynamics supportive of continued activity (Axial: advisors can lift sale prices 6%–25%; SoftwareEquity: ~60% of software buyers are PE-driven). I estimated annual transaction volume for lower-middle-market technology exits at ~4,000 deals with an average deal size of ~$20M (total transaction value ~$80B). Assuming an average sell-side advisory fee of ~3% yields advisory revenue of ~$2.4B. Growth CAGR (~7.5%) reflects ongoing tech-sector expansion, sustained private equity interest, and increasing use of specialized sell-side advisory services.
