Horizontal Merger

A horizontal merger is a type of merger which occurs when two or more companies which operate in the same (or similar) industry sectors merge to form a group or amalgamate to form a new company.

Horizontal mergers allow companies to consolidate their efforts and market shares.

Example: Two competing banks – each with their own set of departments handling product creation and delivery – merge to form a banking group. This horizontal merger allows both banks to streamline their operations and cut costs by sharing just one set of product creation and delivery departments.
