Decreased Investments In The Medical Equipment Industry In 2009 Global investments in the medical equipment declined by 15%, registering $73.8 billion in 2009 compared to $86.9 billion in 2008. The decrease in investments can primarily be attributed to the concentration of medical equipment companies on organic growth opportunities because of the uncertain economic outlook. Growing economic concern also led to a decrease in investments in 2009, after high business consolidation activity in 2008. The first quarter of 2009 garnered the most investments, reporting $24.9 billion in spite of the economic uncertainty. Further, the number of medical equipment deals increased from 1,675 deals in 2008 to 1,790 deals in 2009. The industry witnessed a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1% in the number of deals from 2005 to 2009. Mergers & Acquisitions In The Medical Equipment Decreased By 57% In 2009 M&A including asset transactions in the medical equipment industry witnessed a decrease of 57% in the deal value, reporting $18.7 billion in 2009 compared to $43.1 billion in 2008. This signifies that most companies are taking a skeptical approach to the business integration process due to the uncertain market conditions, after high consolidation activity in 2008. Abbott Laboratories’ $2.8 billion acquisition of Advanced Medical Optics and Agilent Technologies’ $1.5 billion acquisition of Varian are the two largest deals of the year. Further, the number of deals decreased from 528 deals in 2008 to 487 deals in 2009. M&A activity was dominant in the in vitro diagnostics segment, registering 88 deals worth $6.6 billion, followed by the healthcare IT segment with 79 deals worth $905 million in 2009. The authors expect that the M&A activity in the medical equipment industry will regain its momentum with factors such as the increasing ageing population, greenfield manufacturing and joint ventures/acquisition of local companies, which will provide potential entry strategies into the largest emerging economies, such as China and India. According to Akanksha Jain “The lackluster stock market performance, which saw the stock prices of several big device companies nosedive, along with turbulent economic conditions, kept most companies away from betting on small companies.”
