FTI Consulting said European insurance M&A recorded 789 announced transactions in 2025, a 14% increase from 2024. The firm reported UK and Ireland activity totaled 219 deals, down 23% year-on-year. FTI Consulting said the DACH region recorded 143 transactions, up 35%, and noted valuations in some continental European markets reached as high as 18x EBITDA. Jeremy Riley said fewer large UK and Ireland deals and softer market conditions are shifting performance expectations toward underlying growth and operational efficiencies. The report said insurance brokers and service providers accounted for more than 87% of European insurance M&A activity in 2025, including 596 broker deals and 94 service-provider deals.
