Energy M&A-Report November 2025

Digital infrastructure at the core of the energy transition

Energy management systems (EMS) are evolving from efficiency tools into strategic infrastructure. Today, they stand at the center of electrification, automation, and decarbonization.

A Dynamic Growth Market

The global EMS market is expanding rapidly. By 2030, it is projected to reach around US$112 billion. Consolidation is accelerating, especially across platforms that integrate data, control, and scalability.

Strong Mid-Market and Disciplined Investors

Mid-market M&A activity remains robust. Strategic acquirors are seeking proven technology, integration readiness, and stable cash flows. Valuations have returned to long-term medians. Investors now favor operational depth over speculative growth.

New Momentum Across the DACH Region

In Switzerland and the wider DACH region, competitive dynamics are shifting. Industrial automation, smart-building standards, and grid flexibility are gaining importance. EMS are becoming the connective tissue of the energy transition and a driver of strategic advantage.
