5. Virtual consultations by healthcare professionals will
become the mainstream care delivery model post-
pandemic. , 73% of the deals in 2020 globally have been
seed/angel or early-stage deals indicating that this
industry has a lot of opportunity for investors
Informatics and artificial intelligence (AI)
solutions addressing workflow automation and
operational analytics will witness 100% growth in
2020. eg. GE Healthcare‘s industry-first, FDA-
cleared Critical Care Suite AI tool. Teleradiology
& new patient delivery models for critical care to
drive growth
Rise of Covid-19 & Other Infectious Diseases:
Although diagnosis & treatment of lifestyle
diseases were the primary area of focus the 5bn
$ estimated infectious disease market became
the centre of attention. Walgreens & CVS trying
alternate models from traditional in-vitro testing
Segmentation of Market: The healthcare
industry includes various sub segments: The
major ones: pharma/life sciences, medical
devices, care delivery services,
insurance/payers. Across the service chain
segmented into Prevention, diagnosis,
treatment care
The rise of biotech: Both in terms of deal size
& funding. Med/biotech hits its highest
funding quarter since 20I8 Med/biotech
funding reached $6.2 billion in Q1 2020, the
highest quarter ever since Q3 2018
Funding Trends: 2020 fundings remained as
per the projected standards at 48 bn $
(including private equity deals). Growth driven
by the further rise of digital health companies
& biotech drug development.
