Podcast: Is the next wave of M&A coming in Healthcare Services?
Financial investors are interested in the healthcare sector. This is hardly surprising: the market is fragmented, hundreds of doctors in private practices are facing succession planning issues, the population is ageing and therefore becoming sicker, and new diagnostic options are emerging β a dynamic environment that promises private equity good prospects and return options.
However, transactions in the healthcare sector have slowed significantly since the end of 2022. In this episode with Editor & Host Isabella-Alessa Bauer, Managing Partner Matthias Holtmeyer and Director Marcel Deutschmann from Investec Advisory explain the reasons for the slump and why the number of deals is now expected to rise again.
The key questions:
- What is the current level of activity in the market? What has it been like over the last 24 to 36 months?
- To what extent is the new regulatory certainty ensuring that the market is picking up again?
- Is there still sufficient potential and attractive targets after the first wave of consolidation?
- Which sub-sectors are attractive? Where is there the most build-up potential?
- How interesting are deals outside the regulated markets?
