If you really want to understand the themes that drive an industry, just look at the list of recent mergers and acquisitions (M&A). In part 1 of this report, we explain how disruptive themes have been driving M&A activity over the last five years. In part 2, we select the most notable M&A deals announced in the technology, media and telecoms (TMT) sector over the last five years and identify their thematic drivers. Finally, in part 3, we highlight potential acquisition targets, explaining who is likely to acquire them and why.

The TMT sector dominates global M&A activity today In 2017, the largest M&A deal announced in the TMT sector was Disney’s $71bn bid for 21st Century Fox, driven by the disruptive threat of internet TV. In 2018, it was Broadcom’s $121bn bid for Qualcomm, driven by 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT) – though this deal was later aborted. So far in 2019, the largest announced deal is FIS’s $35bn acquisition of Worldpay, potentially kickstarting a string of fintech deals.

In 2018, the total transaction value of M&A deals announced in the global TMT sector reached $630bn, up 23% from 2017, according to GlobalData’s Deals Database. As the chart below illustrates, the value of M&A in the TMT sector dwarfed that of other markets in both 2017 and 2018.

Part 1: M&A and the importance of themes Running any business today requires an understanding of all disruptive threats. Whatever industry you are in, technology now makes it easier for you to be disrupted. The companies lining up to disrupt you are likely to be smaller and nimbler. They do not compete on a level playing field with you.

Take the fintech start-ups attacking banks today: they are less encumbered by regulation and have smaller balance sheets. Ant Financial is one of the world’s biggest banks – it is now around the same size as HSBC, in terms of its valuation at its last funding round – but doesn’t have any branches.

How do you compete with that?

Technology is evolving at a faster pace than ever before, with advances in areas including AI, robotics, blockchain, and cybersecurity making news every day. We are witnessing increasing technology adoption across industries as companies attempt to ride the wave of innovation and digital transformation that is transforming industries from agriculture, to healthcare, motor cars, defense, banking, insurance, construction, and energy.

At the same time, consumer behavior is going through remarkable shifts, as Generation Z takes center stage. Demand for personalization, omni-channel experiences, and predictive customer care is increasing and forcing businesses to redefine every aspect of business to target changing consumption patterns and customer expectations. These are some of the key themes forcing businesses across industries to review their strategies and business models.

Phrases like digital disruption have gained huge prominence as technology themes become more prevalent in the current market, leading to the emergence of new business models, ecosystems, products, services, and delivery models. As a result, companies today are under tremendous pressure to invest in the themes that are shaping their industry, not merely to gain competitive advantage, but to survive.

Technology companies are leading the attack; Big Tech will continue its acquisition spree, with the aim of strengthening their skillsets in next generation technologies like AI, cloud computing, AR, blockchain, and the IoT.

Running any business today requires an understanding of all disruptive threats Most of these disruptive threats come from the technology sector

Companies who invest in the right themes become success stories Our research indicates that companies who invest in the right themes become success stories, those who miss the big themes in their industry end up as failures. This is not just true some of the time. It is true ALL the time. With the benefit of hindsight, it is easy to see the themes that drove companies to success and others to failure.

The table below shows a selection of companies across a range of industries and the themes that drove their respective businesses to success or failure over the last decade.

In the automotive sector, between 1 January 2010 and 1 January 2019, Ford’s market capitalization fell 6% from $33bn to $31bn. Meanwhile, during the same nine-year period, Tesla’s market capitalization rose 2,700% from $2bn to $57bn. Tesla had invested early in the electric vehicles and autonomous driving themes. Had Ford acquired Tesla back in 2010 when it was valued at only $2bn, Ford would have been worth $88bn at the start of 2019, rather than just $31bn. Ford dismissed these two critical automotive themes (until relatively recently).

In the travel sector, back in 2010, Thomas Cook ignored themes like the sharing economy and ecommerce while Airbnb invested heavily in them. In January 2010, Thomas Cook was worth $3.2bn, large enough to have acquired Airbnb, valued at just $0.5bn back then. Had it done so, Thomas Cook would have been worth $31bn today. Instead, the British travel agent is on the verge of collapse.

General Electric, a company that is renowned for the sheer scale of its M&A activity, insisted on acquiring traditional competitors in old technology – its $10bn acquisition of Alstom Power in 2014 is a case in point – rather than acquiring new technology, such as cloud computing, Industrial Internet, or AI. By 2018, GE had written off $23bn in its power business, despite being a market leader. Between January 2010 and January 2019, GE’s share price fell 59%. Go back two decades and it has fallen 80%. GE acquired the wrong companies, because it did not fully understand the themes impacting its industry.

As the table above illustrates, other themes have had a similar impact in creating winners and losers across many other industries. In the industrials sector, GE missed the Industrial Internet, cloud computing, and AI themes. In retail, ecommerce, big data and AI destroyed traditional retailers like Sears, with the spoils going to Amazon and other internet-first companies. In payments, money transfer companies like MoneyGram International – and banks in general – are being displaced by the rise of fintech companies such as Ant Financial. In the entertainment industry, internet TV is causing mayhem, not just for yesterday’s video rental houses, such as Blockbuster, but for the music, film, and TV industry generally.

Companies who invest in the right themes become success stories… ...and those who miss the big themes in their industry end up as failures. Always.

Themes drive M&A strategy Today’s largest companies, measured by market capitalization, are tech companies because today’s most important themes are tech themes. As the table below shows, regardless of sector, the biggest M&A deals in 2018 were all driven by themes and most of these themes involved disruptive technologies.

In part 2 of this report, we identify the themes that drove the TMT M&A market over the last five years. In part 3, we predict which TMT companies are likely to become bid targets over the next five years. Our 2019 TMT theme map shown below sets out the themes that will drive M&A in the TMT sector over the next five years.

Part 2: M&A activity over the last five years Hardware Semiconductors Over the last five years, the value of M&A deals in the semiconductor sector reached $337bn. The key themes driving these deals included the IoT, AI, data centers, and smartphones. A number of bids came from Chinese buyers interested in acquiring US chip technology, but were aborted because of tensions over national security between the world’s two foremost economic powers, contributing to a theme that is gaining increasing prominence in the TMT sector: geopolitics.

Servers, storage, and networking equipment Over the last five years, the value of M&A deals in the servers, storage and networking equipment sector reached $163bn. The key themes driving these deals included data centers, big data, cloud, and silicon photonics. In future, they are likely to be software defined networks (SDN); we are entering the era of software defined everything (SDE), in which the balance between hardware and software within corporate data networks will shift decisively towards software.

Industrial automation Over the last five years, the value of M&A deals in the industrial automation sector reached $36bn. We have focused only on the disruptive technology deals within the industrial sector rather than all industrial M&A deals.
