MedTech players are significantly investing into healthcare digitalization. Of the top 10 MedTech acquisitions (2020-2022), 4 deals were acquisitions of software companies.
This includes the #1 largest MedTech acquisition by deal price, the Teladoc acquisition of digital health company Livongo, for $18.5 billion. Although the deal initially helped create a new digital health giant, Teladoc is yet to fully integrate the solution into its offerings.
Digital health – remote health, healthcare apps, digital healthcare databases and other solutions – will be a key focus point for the near future. Other interesting directions for growth and diversification include innovative products (e.g. cardiovascular, oncology) and consumables and accessories (e.g. infection control, surgical tools).
