Baby Boomers Statistics

Based on population demographics, it is reasonably estimated that Baby Boomers own approximately 67% of middle market businesses and will sell or otherwise dispose of (as opposed to abandoning) approximately 83% of them2 as they retire or die in the coming years. Assuming that most of these businesses will be disposed of when their owners reach age 65, more than 671,000 middle market businesses worth an estimated $2.47 trillion will be disposed of between 2011 and 2029 by Baby Boomers alone (or an average 35,000 middle market businesses a year). Exactly when this wave arrives will be determined not simply by Boomers’ ages but also by the economy, interest rates and other factors. There is no question, however, that the selling wave should begin shortly and steadily rise over the next 10-12 years, peak during the 2020s and taper off during the following 10-12 years. The other drivers previously mentioned-shortened business life cycles, one-world cross border M&A deals, and private equity capital seeking middle market business investments-likely will continue to influence middle market M&A throughout this period and beyond.
