Commercial Electric Contracting
If you own a commercial electrical contracting business, the market has rarely looked better for sellers. M&A deal volume rose 13% in 2024 and accelerated further in 2025 — driven almost entirely by private equity, which accounts for roughly 75% of all transactions in the sector.

Inside the analysis:

- What union involvement, customer concentration, and management independence mean for buyer interest
- Recent transactions and the private equity firms actively rolling up the sector
