The advisory landscape for European Medical Technology (MedTech) Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) is distinguished by a structural bifurcation across transactional size and specialised focus. The market influence is segmented into three distinct classes: Tier 1 Global Banks, which dominate based on aggregate transaction value due to their capacity to underwrite and execute multi-billion-dollar strategic acquisitions; Tier 2 Integrated Firms, which drive high deal volume and pro

The UK HealthTech mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market in 2025 is characterised by a "cautious yet discernible rebound". While global digital health funding has seen a decline, the European market, particularly within the UK, has demonstrated remarkable resilience, defying global trends with a significant surge in deal activity. This momentum is not uniform, however; it is marked by a profound bifurcation that separates the market into two distinct categories.

This report provides a definitive analysis for venture capital (VC) investment in the value-based care (VBC) healthtech sector. While VBC represents a profound and necessary paradigm shift with a multi-trillion-dollar market opportunity, it is not an environment for unsophisticated capital. The core finding is a qualified "yes": venture capital should strategically back VBC healthtech, but only by targeting specific business models and deploying patient capital with a deep

Subconscious vibro-tactile stimulation (VTS) represents a powerful, emerging modality within the HealthTech sector, positioned to transition from a specialised clinical tool to a ubiquitous component of personalised healthcare.

The current healthcare innovation economy presents a compelling and complex paradox for investors. The broader US healthcare venture capital fundraising landscape has experienced a significant decline, with the total for the first half of 2025 at just $3 Billion, a steep drop from the previous year.

The health technology sector is experiencing a period of intense focus on artificial intelligence, driven by an "AI-first" narrative that has captivated investors and dominated industry discourse. This report posits that this concentrated market behaviour, characterised by an investment "gold rush," presents a profound opportunity for a contrarian business strategy. The prevailing AI narrative, much like other market frenzies, has led to a collective overvaluation of a single

The global HealthTech landscape is undergoing a profound structural transformation. A confluence of economic headwinds in mature markets, particularly in North America and a recalibration of investor sentiment away from speculative growth has positioned cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) as the primary engine of strategic growth and liquidity.
