The European Internet Industry 2016: Overview

Silverpeak is pleased to publish its European Internet Industry 2016 report. It analyses M&A activity, growth equity fundraising, and IPO market trends across the European internet sector. The report provides a detailed overview of the investment landscape for internet businesses across Europe. Furthermore, it gives founders, investors, and advisers a clear picture of deal activity, valuations, and market dynamics throughout the year.

What the report covers

The report examines three core areas of activity.

First, it covers M&A activity in the European internet sector. It analyses deal volumes, transaction values, and the most active buyers and sellers. In addition, it identifies the subsectors that attracted the most consolidation activity during the year.

Second, it examines growth equity fundraising trends. It covers the volume and value of growth rounds completed by European internet companies in 2016. As a result, readers gain a clear understanding of where capital was flowing and which sectors attracted the most investor interest.

Third, it analyses IPO market activity. It looks at which European internet companies accessed public markets in 2016 and the valuations they achieved. Moreover, it draws comparisons with prior years to highlight longer-term trends in public market activity.
