The amount of money raised by the med-tech industry through public and private financings in 2020 is more than double the amounts seen in 2017 and 2018 and 37% above last year, despite massive global disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

While med-tech deal values fall significantly short of last year, the 1,240 deals worth $4 billion recorded through November place 2020 above 2018 in terms of value and well above each of the last two years in terms of volume.
