Australian Healthcare Industry: M&A and capital markets update 2022

Australia’s world-leading healthcare system is driven by a highly developed sector comprising of providers, specialists, and technological and physical infrastructure.

The challenges the industry faced throughout the pandemic including affordability and access, variability of patient outcomes, technological integration, and increased demand for innovative medicines and diagnostic tools, has driven recent M&A and capital market activity within the Australian healthcare sector.

The sector’s stability and long-term growth prospects, particularly in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, is attractive characteristic for institutional and retail investors, resulting in the ASX healthcare index outperforming the resources, technology, industrial and financial sectors over the last five years.
