M&A

SINGAPORE’S food and beverage (F&B) space could soon see an uptick in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) amid an increasingly challenging macroeconomic environment.

Industry players and market watchers told The Business Times that they see more businesses up for sale, while others seek growth capital to get back on track.

Some acquisitions of home-grown brands have made the news in recent months.
