The report below gives a good overview of the Summer 2025 M&A activity in the Industrials Industry Sector. The Global Industrial sector is on the rise with industrialization, urbanization, and demand for superior machinery globally, with growth being driven by the Asia Pacific region at the helm in terms of manufacturing, automation, and logistics. While Europe and North America are concentrating on advanced, sustainable chain technologies. The global industrial machinery market is expected to grow to $937.1 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 3.4%. The industrial chain market of the global industrial chain industry, a key sub-segment selling mechanical chains to the power transmission and material handling industries, was worth $58.7 billion in 2023 and is projected to expand at a higher CAGR of 6.9% until 2032. The US Industrial Products & Services industry is expected to create value worth $196.5 billion and output worth $402.8 billion in 2025, with growth at a CAGR of 1.1-1.3% until 2029. However, May's industrial production fell 0.2%, manufacturing rose just by 0.1% and capacity utilization dropped to 77.4%, indicating idle industrial capacity. Europe's $936 billion ReArm initiative, Germany's $585 billion commitment, and higher UK defense expenditure are set to stimulate manufacturing activity. Geopolitical tensions in the U.S. have the potential to raise emergency defense spending. Upgrades in infrastructure, reshoring, automation, and booming data center spending are fueling demand for advanced industrial systems. The overall sector remains structurally stable with broad-based global tailwinds supporting it.
