🟠 3 healthcare industries you should considering acquiring in

Dental, Aesthetics, and Orthopedic practices are 3 growing sub healthcare industries

The SMB Scoop is going to give you a taste of a why there is so much interest in acquiring healthcare businesses:

  • Regulatory protection: The healthcare industry is highly regulated, which creates a barrier to entry to competition.

  • Growth: An aging population and increasing demand for healthcare services helps support this continued growth.

  • Consolidation: Healthcare sub industries are consolidating, with larger players acquiring smaller ones. More demand = higher values.

3 Growing Healthcare Industries

  1. Dental: The dental industry is a growing market. Massive consolidation underway and is expected to continue for years to come. Groups with exceptional operational, marketing, and financial capabilities will have a stark competitive advantage. Check out this primer research report from investment bank Harris Williams.

Aesthetics / Medical Spas: The aesthetics industry includes services such as botox and fillers, and is growing due to an increasing demand for non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Vanity is big business and has lots of cash paying (non-insurance) customers. Check out this primer research report from investment bank Harris Williams.

Orthopedic Physician Practices: The orthopedic physician practice market is comprised of over 6,000 groups and is largely served by smaller practices with five or fewer physicians. Lots of consolidation. Check out this Spring 2023 market insights report from investment bank Hyde Park Capital.

Remember, it's important to do your due diligence when buying a healthcare business. These extra barriers can create additional risk upon purchase, especially for inexperienced buyers. Be sure to seek out advice from industry experts and consult with legal and financial professionals familiar with the sub industry.
