2023 is set to be a busy year for e-commerce business M&A, with many investors viewing the past 12 months as nothing more than a cooling-off period after a decade of strong growth.

Privately held e-commerce businesses that have weathered external pressures throughout the year have come out the other side much stronger and will be in a good position for growth, higher margins and improved cash flow in 2023.

In this report, we dive into the metrics driving M&A trends in the near- and long-term, covering key topics such as:

  • The current state of the e-commerce M&A market
  • E-commerce valuations in 2023
