A month into 2023, industrials are the dominant sector among private debt deals in North America with 10 deals out of 36 deals in total (28%), a three-deal lead over consumer discretionary. Activity in the sector is consistent with previous years, as industrials deal numbers generally occupy between 15-20% of overall PD deals in North America each year. The increased weighting in industrials is likely due to decreased M&A and private equity activity in the next two largest sectors, consumer discretionary and information technology, which are particularly exposed to the economic slowdown.
