The document discusses trends in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in the European healthcare services industry in recent years. It notes that consolidation has driven the medical lab testing market, attracting financial sponsors. Large markets like France and Germany have reached a high level of consolidation, while more fragmented markets like Italy still offer opportunities for M&A. The medical imaging sector is also consolidating due to factors like the need for heavy investment in new technology and pressure on prices. National consolidation has led to a decline in the number of private clinics in countries like France as larger players have gained market share.Noventa on a Mission to Decarbonize the World Through Disruptive Innovation

IMAP closes 92 M&A transactions worth over $3 billion in H1 2023
IMAP closes 92 M&A transactions worth over $3 billion in H1 2023IMAP - Global Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory
IMAP demonstrated its leadership in the M&A market once more, closing 92 transactions worth over $3 billion in the first half of 2023.
Cautious dealmaking due to global uncertainty, high interest rates, and the unresolved U.S. debt ceiling issue, meant global M&A activity experienced a significant decline of 36% in the second quarter of 2023. However, with the gradual recovery of the stock market, there is hope for restoring CEOs’ confidence in engaging in M&A deals. Furthermore, despite the decline, experts believe the M&A market still holds potential for future growth and resurgence.
The most active sectors in terms of volume were Business Services, Industrials, Technology, and Consumer & Retail,
accounting for 62% of total IMAP deal volume. However, in terms of deal value, the most active sectors were Healthcare, Technology, Consumer & Retail, and Industrials, representing 58% of total deal value. Europe was the most impacted region in terms of deal activity, following market trends.Consolidation Continues in Web Hosting Sector with Web4U Acquisition by Miss ...

IMAP closes 47 M&A transactions worth over $2 billion in Q1 2023IMAP - Global Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory
IMAP closed 47 M&A transactions valued at over $2 billion in the first quarter of 2023. While the figure was down from previous quarters it was not as low as initially expected. At the macro level, interest rate hikes, persistently high inflation, financial market instability, and fears of a recession put a damper on dealmaking activity. At the transaction level, IMAP dealmakers have reported that sellers are struggling to find good buyers and disappointed with relatively low valuations, while the lack of financing is diminishing appetite among potential acquirers. Despite these challenging conditions, the market is not entirely paralyzed. High quality businesses with strong margins and defensive growth profiles continue to attract interest from well positioned strategic buyers. Financial buyers have been much less aggressive due to the high cost of capital.
Business Services, Industrials, Consumer & Retail, and Building Products & Services were the most active sectors, accounting for 60% of total IMAP deal volume. Approximately 32% of the transactions were cross-border, which is consistent with previous quarters and reflects IMAP’s global nature. The bulk of IMAP’s Q1 deals involved a target company in either Europe or North America, with deal flow slightly more limited in Asia and Latin America.IMAP Strengthens its Foothold in CEE with new Partner BICF in Romania
