The average M&A deal size climbed to $75.2 million in the January-September period, against $63.1 million a year ago as most deals were in the $500 million-plus range.
Out of this, domestic deals accounted for $11.1 billion, up 206.6 per cent over 2,103, due to Sun Pharmaceutical's pending acquisition of Ranbaxy for $4.1 billion. The deal pushed the healthcare sector to capture 40.3 per cent of domestic deal activity.
However, total cross-board M&As plunged 40.2 per cent to $10.7 billion from the last year levels as both inbound and outbound activity declined. While inbound deals fell 24.6 per cent, outbound deals plummeted 70.2 per cent over the same period last year. Total worth of completed deals amounted to $21.6 billion, up by 3.6 per cent to $22.4 billion in 2013.
Healthcare deals topped the deal street in market share with 23.2 per cent at $6.1 billion, an increase of 145.8 per cent increase from the first nine of 2013, making it the highest since 2008 when it stood at $6.2 billion.

Technology, media, and telecom sector together managed a market share of 16.7 per cent at $4.3 billion from the first nine months of 2013, up by 35 per cent. The bulk of inbound deals focused on consumer staples sector in terms of deal value, with $2.2 billion, despite a 41.9 per cent fall over a year ago. Consumer staples captured 24.7 per cent of inbound M&As followed by energy & power as well as healthcare with 16.6 per cent and 16.2 per cent market share respectively.
Outbound deals were dominated by the industrial sector, with $551 million, up by 65.9 per cent or 30.1 per cent of foreign acquisitions.
Again, energy and power sector stood close behind with 27.1 per cent market share, with deals worth $96.1 million. Meanwhile, investment bankers's advisory fees jumped by 22.4 per cent. As per Thomson Reuters/Freeman Consulting estimates, the advisory fees from completed deals totalled $101.5 million during the first nine months of 2014.
