In this Think Tank, we explore mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in US retail, covering the following:

• Key retail sectors witnessing M&A activity
• Three strategies for retail players to capitalize on growth trends in M&A
• Key factors impacting M&A, comprising three drivers and three potential headwinds
• The value of completed retail-focused M&A transactions from January 2021–April 2022, broken down by sector
