Private equity to target consumer sector P2Ps

A new report reveals that 94% of private equity houses are likely to consider take-private deals over the next two years, with quoted companies in the consumer sector seen to be the most conductive to such transactions.

The survey, produced by BDO Stoy Hayward, suggests that 82% of private equity houses highlighted the space, which includes food & beverage, personal goods and retail businesses, as providing attractive de-listing opportunities.

The next most attractive sectors were seen to be financial services and retail & leisure, which scored 76% each. The least conductive sectors were aerospace & defence with 41%, Energy & Mining with 35% and Autos with 18%.
