In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD), Cardiovascular Devices and Healthcare IT Markets Attracted the Most PE/VC Investments in 2010
A total of 769 private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) financing deals took place in 2010,
compared to 556 in 2009. In 2010, the in vitro diagnostics (IVD), cardiovascular devices and
healthcare IT markets attracted the most PE/VC investments, with shares of 20%, 13% and 10%
respectively. Within the IVD devices categories, it is the immunochemistry and clinical chemistry
categories that are gaining investor attention. In the cardiovascular devices market, it is
interventional cardiology that has proved attractive. In interventional cardiology, minimally invasive
techniques are being widely chosen by the patient population, thus resulting in the uptake of
catheter approaches for congestive heart failure, mitral valve repair and the next generation stents.
Large companies are showing an interest and investing in the research and development (R&D) of
minimally invasive techniques to treat coronary artery disease and valve repair.

In 2010, the various stages of medical devices companies in which PE/VC funding was aimed at
start-up medical device firms with 53% of the total 769 deals. The second most adopted strategy
for investment was in the expansion stage, with 21%, followed by later stage investments, with
16%. PE/VC funding was adopted by investors and medical device companies to give high speed
access to new advanced technologies and avoid barriers to entry, expand their portfolio of products
and to improve their asset valuations. From 2007–2010, PE/VCs increased their financial
investments in the medical device market because of the apparent high potential of the North
American and European healthcare sectors. VC firms invest in early-stage companies with high
potential for future growth. Similarly, PE firms invest in start-ups, and help them to streamline their
operations. Start-up companies in medical devices are started by innovators who have little
knowledge or experience of entrepreneurship. PE/VCs help these companies by providing
adequate management support.
