Latin America saw an increase in acquisition activity in 2025. The number of deals rose 23% year over year across the region, with Brazil standing out, posting a 37% increase over the same period. 


Bar chart showing the number of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deals in Latin America (LATAM) and Brazil by quarter, covering nine quarters from Q1 2023 to Q1 2025. The blue bars represent LATAM and the blue-green bars represent Brazil. The quarterly values of M&A deals are: 2023: Q1: LATAM 55, Brazil 44 Q2: LATAM 39, Brazil 34 Q3: LATAM 48, Brazil 36 Q4: LATAM 40, Brazil 30 2024: Q1: LATAM 44, Brazil 32 Q2: LATAM 52, Brazil 37 Q3: LATAM 57, Brazil 47 Q4: LATAM 50, Brazil 38 2025: Q1: LATAM 54, Brazil 44 Two text captions on the upper right provide additional information about the quarterly (QoQ) and annual (YoY) change from the last data point (Q1 2025): The first caption (referring to Q4 2024 to Q1 2025 in LATAM) indicates: QoQ +8% and YoY +23%. The second caption (referring to Q4 2024 to Q1 2025 in Brazil) indicates: QoQ +16% and YoY +37%. The source is “Sling Hub.” Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

In practice, Brazil accounted for roughly 80% of all M&A transactions in Latin America, generating a significant impact across the regional ecosystem.


What does this data reveal? 


  • Brazil remains the primary target market for strategic buyers.


  • Brazilian startups are increasingly attracting international capital and acquirers at a larger scale.


  • This concentration also brings risks: the health of Brazil’s market directly influences the entire regional ecosystem.
