and Enhance Business Strategies!
Overview/Summary:
In 2007, 46 Buyers each spent $1.0 Billion
or More on Healthcare M&A Deals!
Deal
volume in the HEALTHCARE sector in October
2007 surged to its highest monthly level ever. A total of
102 deals – with over $14.0 billion in commitments –
is evidence that investment and M&A activity in the healthcare
space will be robust in 2008 and beyond. The three sectors
with the highest deal volume:
-
Medical Devices – 20 Deals in October, 2007
- Biotechnology
– 19 Deals in October, 2007
- Pharmaceuticals
– 19 Deals
in October, 2007
A
five-year study of Healthcare acquisition premiums depicts
a dramatic upward trend from 2004. While valuations
are high in all aspects of healthcare, companies with business
models built around innovative technologies are trending slightly
higher than those with service-delivery models.
Within the technology segment, biotech targets are commanding
some of the highest premiums. Hear our experts explain why
biotechnology deals are gaining ground and why cross-border
deals are also on the rise. In Asia,
India, Europe and the Americas, companies that provide healthcare
outsourcing services, manufacturing, clinical trial work and
healthcare delivery services are increasingly coming into
play.
As a consequence, there is an M&A
spending-spree underway. Since 2005, strategic
acquisitions by pharmaceutical companies have exceeded $76
Billion. In 2005, there were 33 such deals amounting to $16.5
Billion – while in the first 9 months of 2007, 49 deals
totaling $28.7 Billion were consummated! And financial
buyers, led by private equity, hedge
funds and other sophisticated investors are also continuing
to play a big role in this space.
Whether you are an experienced healthcare investor and deal-maker;
or you are looking for ideas and information on how to transfer
your skills and talents into this thriving and lucrative sector,
you do not want to miss, iiBIG’s
