Floriculture M&A flourishes across the sector
M&A Developments | Floriculture | H2 2025
Dealmaking activity in floriculture continued to gain momentum in the second half of 2025, confirming the recovery observed since late 2024. With 62 transactions recorded in H2 2025, compared to 47 in H1 2025, M&A activity has clearly accelerated over the course of the year, underlining the resilience of the floriculture M&A landscape.
The current M&A environment reflects a balance between stabilizing market conditions and ongoing structural challenges. Energy costs and inflationary pressures have eased across major markets, supporting improved profitability for many companies. At the same time, selective cost pressures, tight financing conditions and continued succession-related challenges remain key drivers of transaction activity, particularly among founderowned businesses.
We remain cautiously optimistic about floriculture M&A moving into 2026. Strategic buyers and financial sponsors continue to show interest, especially in segments characterized by scale benefits, technology enablement and consolidation potential. While geopolitical uncertainty and policy developments may create short-term volatility, underlying fundamentals suggest continued M&A activity for well-positioned companies across the sector.
As market conditions continued to stabilize and transaction activity accelerated in the second half of 2025, we expect consolidation in the floriculture sector to gain further momentum. This outlook is reinforced by the breadth and quality of opportunities reflected in our strong pipelineFrank de Hek, Oaklins' horticulture specialist
