SURVEY: Healthcare & Life Sciences Dealmaking Poised for 2025 Rebound, BRG Study Finds

New BRG study indicates favorable outlook for a rebound in M&A activity in health care and life sciences for 2025.

Michael Webb | April 21, 2025

A new report from BRG suggests a significant uptick in transaction activity is expected across the U.S. health care and life sciences sectors in 2025, following slower deal volumes in 2023 and 2024. The findings stem from BRG's "2025 US Healthcare & Life Sciences Transactions Outlook," which surveyed more than 150 executives and decision-makers from provider, payer, and life sciences organizations, supplemented by expert interviews.

After a period dampened by inflation, rising interest rates, and regulatory pressures—which saw global healthcare M&A volume drop nearly 30% from its 2021 peak—industry players are signaling readiness to pursue deals again. This anticipated rebound presents potential opportunities for consultants advising on strategy, M&A, integration, and operational improvements.
