    Internet Service Providers Top Arrow Up
       In 2000 in the U.S., there were roughly 7,800 ISPs, up sharply from near 5,800 in 1999. The industry is dominated by America Online and approximately 50 other large backbone ISPs and telecommunications companies. Together these ISPs generate about 80% of all ISP revenues. Competitive pressures from long-distance telecommunications carriers, cable companies, national ISPs and regional and national independents, especially as broadband proliferates the marketplace, will force the contraction of local ISPs, who have little bargaining power left...

    e-Commerce, Information Retrieval Services and Internet Top Arrow Up
       In terms of its increasing impact on the economy and especially on merger and acquisition activity, e-Commerce/information retrieval services/Internet services was the most dynamic industrial sector in the U.S. economy in 2000. Within the four key sectors of this industry, the level of M&A activity varied considerably. For the e-Commerce sector, the future will depend to a great extent of refining business models and restructuring within the industry through mergers and acquisitions...

    Computer System Integrators and Data Processing Services Top Arrow Up
       As computer requirements have become more complex, the need for sophisticated computer systems integration services has risen. Growth has also been rapid in data processing, which includes credit card authorization and billing, payroll processing, and a wide range of network services. The variables that have driven growth and M&A activity in these industries remain. The unknown variables are the health of the economy as a whole and the capital markets in 2001.

    Custom Software Development and Prepackaged Software Top Arrow Up
       The computer software industry has grown three times faster than the U.S. economy as a whole over the last five years. . Much of this growth has been generated internally, but much has also resulted from mergers and acquisitions. Unlike most industries, software companies often purchase development stage vendors with promising products but little or no revenues in order to acquire their technologies before they are developed or acquired by a competitor. These forces should continue to improve company valuations and spur M&A activity within the industry...

    Printing & Publishing Top Arrow Up
       While printing is one of the largest manufacturing industries in the U.S., it is fragmented and competitive. M&A activity is a result of the fragmented nature of the industry, owners desiring an exit strategy and the need to invest in new technologies. The pressure to diversify services will continue to drive consolidation, and the gap between the highly profitable companies and those that are not so profitable will widen…

    Chemicals & Drugs Top Arrow Up
       The pharmaceutical business is relatively immune to changes in general economic activity. Rather, it is tied to the health of the populace, which has remained relatively constant over the years. Although worldwide drug sales are rising at a rate of 8-10 percent a year, pharmaceutical companies are under pressure. Record levels of consolidation, pricing scrutiny from HMOs and government agencies, patent expirations, and tougher competition are forcing drug manufacturers to rethink operations…

    Machinery & Computer Equipment Top Arrow Up
       While consumer confidence has fallen some, new orders for computers and machinery have shown much less weakness than other industries. Companies are optimistic that the situation will improve soon and managers are currently trying to balance supply with demand, curtail costs and expenses, consolidate manufacturing, cut back on staff and pay down debt. Mergers and acquisitions have become a means for growing companies to stay competitive by acquiring innovative product lines…

    Electronic & Electrical Equipment Top Arrow Up
       Growing economic uncertainty in the U.S., including a decline in capital spending levels, is pressuring the industry because of it's sensitivity to economic conditions. With more market and earnings opportunities in the communications equipment sector, it is not surprising that the recent results show the most M&A activity in this portion of the industry…

    Instruments: Photo, Optical & Medical Top Arrow Up
       The biggest threat to these equipment manufacturers is a downturn in the whole economy. Trends in the measuring, analyzing, and controlling equipment industry are difficult to discern because the industry is so diverse. For the last five years, there has been very little change in the level of M&A activity. Growth will be dependent on new product introduction and expansion in the global marketplace…

    Communications Top Arrow Up
       Despite optimistic projections for the use of wireless technology, the telecommunications services industry is presently under a lot of pressure. Nonetheless, the current situation is deemed temporary. Intense competition, increasing capital budgets, and decreasing cash flows and revenues will foster a “survival through consolidation” environment among the small as well as the giant telecommunications services companies…

    Wholesale Trade: Durable Goods Top Arrow Up
       Wholesalers have recently discovered an unexpected reason to consolidate. While many thought e-Commerce would eliminate the wholesaling middleman, in fact, online retailers have had to rely on wholesalers for fulfillment, returns, and service rather than invest in distribution infrastructure…

    Miscellaneous Retail Top Arrow Up
       Retail sales have been strong in most regions of the country, even exceeding some retailers’ expectations, however few gains are reported by specialty and department store chains. In fact, in order to cut costs many retailers are closing stores. The consolidation that has occurred in retailing has not been able to temper the intense competition that is characteristic of this industry. Retail consolidation has largely been due to bankruptcies and store closures rather than to M&A activity…

    Health Services Top Arrow Up
       The health services industry is one of the largest industry sectors in the U.S. economy. Over the next ten years, spending on healthcare services will grow substantially faster than the economy.

    Engineering, Accounting & Management Top Arrow Up
       Less robust times for engineering firms seem to be approaching. Corporate downsizing in recent years has increased the demand for consulting firms to carry out the activities that companies no longer have the staff to perform.
