Alternative Data M&A is Heating Up: Looking Back and Ahead
New industries are typically fragmented with numerous small players competing for market share. Industries then consolidate as they become more mature. According to A.T.

Every company in every industry goes through these stages or disappears. Increased competition, changing regulations, new technologies, and increasing customer sophistication is putting pressure on today’s technology leaders and alternative data vendors. Companies would mostly pursue mergers and acquisitions to gain scale advantages and accelerate growth. A size advantage often lowers costs leading to competitive advantage and to competitive price setting.
