The healthcare sector across the globe and India has been getting a lot of attention ever since the Covid-19 pandemic emerged. The necessity to find a vaccine and the further expenses incurred in curing the virus has put the sector in the limelight. But, the private equity fund investments that went into the sector in the January-September period in India declined this year compared to the same period last year. WWW.QUADRIACAPITAL.COM
A closer look at the investment in the different segments showed that three distinct areas — drug companies, biotech companies, and firms in the consumer health and wellness space gathered more investment. Experts said though this concern is not out of the blue, the pandemic have stimulated funding in these segments. WWW.QUADRIACAPITAL.COM
The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in an intensified interest among investors for the reason that most of these companies globally, including some in India, are working on producing a vaccine for the coronavirus. The investments are also likely to grow in the coming times as vaccines are likely to be released by end of this year or mid-next. There is also a huge demand for certain healthcare products right from hand sanitizers to PPE kits and protective gear. The manufacturing of these products will also increase. WWW.QUADRIACAPITAL.COM
It has been said by experts in the post-Covid world too, the interest towards these sectors will be sustained and long-term because the public and governments would want to restrict such pandemics in the future and keep healthcare the top priority. Clinics, hospitals, and diagnostic services face the biggest challenge due to Covid and saw a 75- 80 percent drop in the patient for selected procedures. Even in the case of serious illnesses patients were seen to be shying away from hitting health facilities. While the situation has improved, still most facilities are operating at 40-50 percent of their pre-Covid capacity. This has also limited the capacity for health facilities to invest in procuring medical devices. As the sector picks up, in the post-Covid world, diagnostics and medical devices will be two sub- sectors to closely look at. WWW.QUADRIACAPITAL.COM
