M&A Industry Snapshot: The European PropTech and ConTech M&A market
The European PropTech and ConTech M&A market is regaining momentum, but under fundamentally changed dynamics. Capital has become more selective, strategic buyers are increasingly dominating transaction processes, and single-point solutions are losing relevance despite strong growth.This snapshot highlights a clear shift toward scalable SaaS platforms with recurring revenues, deep workflow integration, and strong data foundations.

As a result, well-positioned platforms benefit from an attractive exit environment, while demand for mid-market add-on acquisitions remains strong.
