Google’s contemplation of acquiring marketing software company HubSpot, valued at $34 billion, could face opposition from regulators despite experts suggesting it would not stifle competition. While HubSpot operates in the customer relationship management (CRM) software sector alongside major players like Salesforce and Adobe, regulators in the U.S. and Europe may challenge the deal due to concerns about tech giants’ growing dominance. Google, already facing antitrust scrutiny, would need to navigate a challenging regulatory landscape, potentially leading to a prolonged court battle. Despite Google’s substantial cash reserves and the desire to deploy capital effectively, the deal’s approval remains uncertain amid heightened antitrust scrutiny in the tech industry.
