Research and Markets: Profiling the Top Mergers and Acquisition Within Medical Devices Space 2013-2015

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lbvcd8/profiling_the_top) has announced the addition of the "Profiling the Top Mergers and Acquisition Within Medical Devices Space" report to their offering.

The landscape of healthcare is rapidly changing worldwide as governments are reducing healthcare spending through means such as reimbursement cuts. The medical devices market bears the direct brunt of these measures. To overcome this, medical device companies are involved in active mergers and acquisitions (M&A). The study analyses the key factors for M&A within the medical devices space. Additionally, it profiles the major M&A happened during 2013-2015 and analyses the influence of the M&A on their respective market.

Key Findings:

- As the Group Purchasing Organizations (GPO) become the new norm worldwide to create the value-based healthcare, companies expand their product portfolio to have a competitive advantage and bargaining power

- As most of the patient care is delivered outside the hospitals, companies are actively looking to provide both product and service solutions to home care and long-term care. This is achieved by either acquiring the service-oriented companies or by partnering with them

- Increasing market pressure turns companies focus to certain segments and offload businesses that do not fit into that strategy. A considerable number of deals in 2014-15 involved larger companies acquiring smaller ones with novel technologies that were clinically proven to be superior to existing technologies

- Many of the merger deals are driven not only by strategic interests but also based on the tax inversion that can significantly influence the company's profit margins. In 2015 alone, 3 US firms moved its legal domicile to a lower-tax country
