A recent report from Citizens Bank anticipates a significant
increase in deal flow in 2025. The report highlights many of the
growth drivers I’ve previously mentioned, including a favorable
economic backdrop and a rise in sellers due to the historic M&A
backlog. The report also points to another critical factor fueling
demand among private equity acquirers: the race for Artificial
Intelligence.
According to Citizens’ AI Trends in Financial Management
report, PE firms have substantially expanded their AI use cases
over the past year and are eager to integrate these capabilities.
Key applications include:
- Portfolio monitoring
- Exit strategies
- Due diligence
- Investment analysis
Additionally, PE firms are exploring generative AI applications,
particularly in customer service and cybersecurity, to further
enhance operations.
As PE firms look to expand or develop these capabilities and
discover additional AI use cases, this disruptive technology will
be a major area of focus for investments going forward. Prepared
buyers will position themselves for success as these opportunities
arise in 2025.
