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.

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.

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.

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.
