Med-tech deal values continued their upward swing, increasing nearly 90% from last year. Med-tech M&A volume and value remained in a slump compared to the previous two years, though values are higher than 2020.
In August 2023, med-tech firms raised a total of $1.88 billion through 27 transactions, an increase of 94.12% from the $971 million raised in July. Value is down 42.83%, however, from the $3.3 billion raised in August 2022. The volume of med-tech financings is tracking at an average of 41 per month in 2023, down from an average of 43 per month in 2022, 59 per month through 2021 and 60 per month in 2020.
In August 2023 biopharma companies raised a collective $4.02 billion through 86transactions, down from the previous seven months’ average of $5.53 billion.
Biopharma grants are up nearly 150% compared to the same time period last year, largely due to a number of $100 million-plus grants from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). Meanwhile, nonprofit deal value has declined year-over-year, with the number of transactions down 42.21%.
