Our Research provides the most authoritative data and quantitative insights into the industry’s activity and achievements.
To complement this with qualitative research, Invest Europe in collaboration with Arthur D. Little, the international management consulting firm, conducted this year a pan-European, forward-looking Market Sentiment Survey capturing the views of 250 private equity managers and investors on the future of the industry in the context of COVID-19.
Far from simply embracing a return to business as usual, the responses from our market sentiment survey indicate that private equity is also treading a new path. As the outlook improves, the industry is concentrating ever more attention on delivering higher sustainability standards and more ethical practices. Some 95% of general partners stated they intend to increase their focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues in the near future.
Taken together, our H1 2021 Activity Data Report and Market Sentiment Survey illustrate that the European private equity industry has been resilient in the face of great disruption – and thanks to that resilience has imbued fund managers and investors with greater confidence about the future.

How has private equity contributed to Europe’s recovery from the pandemic? As confidence returns, what part can the industry play in the future?
In partnership with Invest Europe, Arthur D. Little recently conducted a Pan-European market sentiment survey getting the pulse of the market, addressing the key challenges facing the industry, its ESG developments, and showing that private equity professionals see a stronger environment for investment opportunities in the coming 12 months. This 30-minute online webinar covered the main results of this survey:
