Top 10 European countries for PE investments in preventative healthcare
This week’s infographic looks at the top 10 European countries allocating a significant portion of their healthcare budgets to preventative care.
The infographic is based on data from the OECD’s Health at a Glance 2024 report.
As private equity (PE) firms target consolidation in the preventative healthcare sector, Germany, the UK, and Austria rank as the top three destinations for PE investments and M&A.
Rob Sher, Senior Associate, Healthcare and Life Sciences (HLS) M&A team at Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), a global consulting firm, noted in this HBI article that a growing awareness of personal health and well-being is influencing digital health providers and reshaping private healthcare:
“The focus (in private healthcare) has shifted toward preventive health. With an ageing population, more people are prioritising their health before experiencing major symptoms, tracking their well-being on a daily basis. This shift has also led to a more digital healthcare model, and the UK is an ideal environment for this transformation.”
Sher also highlighted the role of AI in enabling personalised healthcare, which is expected to drive further consolidation in the sector.
