The healthcare sector is a key mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market, driven by an ageing population, digitalisation and increasing demand for medical services. Big pharma and biotech companies are looking for strategic acquisitions to strengthen their innovation pipeline.

Healthtech and Medtech are also in focus, with investors interested in telemedicine, artificial intelligence and medical devices among others. However, the sector faces strict regulatory challenges. Private equity funds have increased their interest in this market, betting on medical service providers.
