💰 Healthcare Technology Market Breakthroughs in 2024: Healthcare technology saw a surge in private M&A activity in 2024, with exit values nearly doubling to $46 billion, compared to $24.7 billion in 2023, according to data from Nina Capital. Billion-dollar exits more than doubled, with companies like Johnson & Johnson and Roche leading the charge. This growth underscores the demand for transformative innovations in areas such as AI, biopharma, and care delivery. Dr. Marta G. Zanchi, founder of Nina Capital, noted: “The numbers provide clear evidence that healthcare technology is a great place to invest. We’re at an inflection point, where advancements in technology are translating to significant financial returns and better patient outcomes.”

🌍 Future Trends in Healthcare Technology: The healthcare innovation landscape is becoming increasingly global. While the US continues to dominate with 68.8% of all exits in 2024, Europe is closing the gap. European healthcare startups are growing at a faster rate than their US counterparts, with countries like France, Germany, and the UK contributing significantly. Dr. Zanchi predicts a broader international distribution in the coming years: “By 2030, companies born outside the US could account for more than half of global healthcare technology exits, highlighting the increasingly distributed nature of innovation.” This trend reflects the growing influence of Europe and other global markets in driving the next wave of health tech solutions.
