China M&A Insights for European Corporates: Highlights from the German Chamber Webinar

Yesterday, Nordic Match had the pleasure of hosting a webinar together with the German Chamber of Commerce in China on the topic: “China M&A for European Corporates in 2026: Market Trends, Strategy, and Execution.”

 

Starting from China macroeconomic perspective, we shared our perspectives on key market indicators shaping investment and M&A activity, including import and export trends, trade balances, China-Germany trade dynamics, and the evolving role of China in global value chains.

 

A key takeaway was the shift from "China for China" to "China for APAC" and increasingly "China for Global", as companies look to leverage China not only for local growth but also for regional and global opportunities.

 

We also shared practical insights on M&A execution in China, including target identification, valuation considerations, due diligence, regulatory processes, and post-merger integration. Despite ongoing market changes, strategic acquisitions remain an effective tool for companies looking to strengthen local capabilities and product offerings, expand market access, gain new technologies, and accelerate growth.

 

A big thank you to the German Chamber of Commerce in China for organizing this event and to all participants for the engaging discussion and thoughtful questions.

 

Germany and China have built strong economic ties over many decades. While the business environment continues to evolve, cross-border collaboration, industrial partnerships, and strategic investments remain important drivers of growth for companies operating between the two markets. We look forward to continuing these conversations and supporting European corporates on their China growth journey.
