<\/p>\nDespite a vortex of growing uncertainties across all global financial markets, effected by an unstable economic climate and the COVID-19 pandemic, the private equity industry continues to buy and sell investments, and generate relatively strong returns. By 2019 year-end, global private equity-backed volume reached $1.5 trillion in unspent capital, three-times higher than private equity deals closed in 2018. This is a number that could potentially be eclipsed as an ever-growing number of distressed businesses seeking angel investors become a top deal driver during the second half 2020.<\/p>\n
Indeed, mergers and acquisitions this year could grow on a scale never witnessed before.\u00a0Economic experts have confidently cast the spotlight for robust private equity-backed consolidation on technology and the payments sectors, in particular, continuing the trend from 2019.<\/p>\n
According to BSPE, due to an \u201cincreasing share of cashless payments at the point of sale and growing e-commerce revenues, payment companies are expected to maintain a high level of revenue growth over upcoming years. Additionally, the business models of payment companies are highly scalable and cost structures feature relatively few variable costs, implying access to untapped market potential that also indicates bottom-line growth.\u201d Growth within the contactless payment environment is already on the rise and the Coronavirus is likely to contribute to a substantial shift in consumer adoption of this payment method in the long run.<\/p>\n
As technology adoption continues to dictate and shape a new digital reality, as evidenced by the multi-million downloads of apps such as Houseparty, Zoom and DisneyPlus within the last four months, private equity in this sector is poised for insurmountable growth and ROI. Other industries that may present opportunities for companies to scale their business via private equity funding include pharmaceuticals and healthcare, deliveries, supermarkets and the manufacture of electronic goods.<\/p>\n

Growth and opportunity across these sectors and others translate into a need for additional human resources to support a business\u2019 strategies and expansion plans.
