After a Dim 2023, Indicators of Light Ahead for Healthcare M&A
According to research from SPS by Bain & Co., healthcare M&A was already declining from heady levels of 1,534 deals in 2021 before the Federal Reserve started increasing interest rates to counter inflation last year. The total number of healthcare deals in 2023 was 1,060, a 15% decline from 2022, albeit only a slight decrease from pre-pandemic deal volume in the sector.
