The volume of med-tech deals and M&As dropped in the fourth quarter of 2022, although it was a solid year for both types of transactions due to a growing interest in the digital health space.
While the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2022 raised the most money of any quarter this year, the overall amount collected through med-tech financings – $38.3 billion – is still 22.3% less than 2021’s $49.3 billion raised.
While it made a sturdy effort as biopharma companies opted for licensing deals over M&As in 2022, the year did not surpass 2021 in deal values, falling about 3.5% short. Lackluster M&A values dropped to their lowest levels in five years and were down by 35.6% compared with 2021.
