Welcome to the full-year 2009 edition of North American Private Equity in Review. This report provides a comprehensive review of private equity investment trends across all industry sectors in the North American region, drawing from historical data to offer a detailed analysis of current activity and a forecast for potential activity in the year ahead.
Private equity activity in North America has declined considerably since 2008, as is to be expected while the region continues to grapple with economic uncertainty, unfavorable valuations and an unusually difficult financing climate. In 2009, buyouts fell 36% in volume and 34% in value from the previous year, with 461 buyouts worth US$50.6bn in 2009, compared to 720 worth US$77.2bn in 2008. Exit activity also dropped dramatically over this period, with 311 exits worth US$30.1bn, a 28% decrease in volume and a 23% decrease in value from the 432 exits worth US$23.3bn announced in 2008.
