PwC upbeat on UK pharma M&A in 2023
Analysis from financial services company PwC shows optimism for the year ahead in pharmaceutical M&A in the UK market.
Development stage biotech acquisitions by large pharma companies seeking to fill their pipelines will drive this activity, according to PwC, which is optimistic despite a disappointing 2022. Its latest UK M&A data shows that healthcare industries, including pharma and life sciences, M&A activity cooled down in 2022 from a record high in 2021.
Analysis of deal activity shows that the UK saw 234 deals across healthcare industries in 2022, compared to 365 for the previous year, a 36% decline. Further analysis shows that deal volume for the first half of the year was higher than the second half.
