Asia Pacific Healthcare Industry Acquisitions in 2015 reached $4.9 billion
The Chinese and Indian markets have once again become hotspots for the healthcare industry in the Asia Pacific region. On May 16th, Bain's annual report "Global Medical Industry Private Equity and Corporate M&A Report" showed that the value of the 2015 Asia Pacific medical industry acquisition transaction rose to 4.9 billion US dollars, maintaining growth for three consecutive years.
The report shows that the number of post-IPO private equity investment (PIPE) transactions in the Asia-Pacific region, including privatization transactions, has also surged, bringing nearly $1 billion in additional capital to the region, almost double the $575 million in 2014. Despite the increase in the value of the transaction, the number of acquisitions fell from 45 in 2014 to 23 in 2015.
Bain said that the shift from transaction type to PIPE is the main reason for the decline in the number of transactions. But investors' preferences have not changed. The large amount of capital deployed in the region and the significant increase in the average transaction size are two strong evidences of this conclusion. The largest medical industry acquisition transaction in the world this year was the privatization of China's listed Wuxi WuXi PharmaTech, which was privatized to a total of US$3.3 billion.
“Until recently, the private equity market in the healthcare industry in the Asia Pacific region is still in a new state, characterized by transactions concentrated in a limited number of sub-sectors and on a smaller scale,†Bain Global Partners, Global Healthcare and Private Equity Leadership and this report Co-author Vikram Kapur said: "Last year, we saw investors starting to look for opportunities to expand and deepen their business in the region, and to see the medical industry as an economic turmoil and The best area to get huge economic returns."
