The German healthcare market has been of great interest to national and international private equity investors for many years: a stable economic starting position and good prospects for the future lead to increasing transaction activity. Since 2015, the outpatient medical market in particular has also been in the focus of many investors, as the regulatory framework since then has made it possible to concentrate on certain specialist disciplines. In recent years, private equity investors have therefore increasingly brought together outpatient medical facilities in large structures as part of so-called "buy-and-build" processes.
Our white paper "Private equity investors in the German outpatient market" provides an overview of the regulatory challenges and current PE activities in the outpatient medical market. It also includes statements on transaction activity and regulatory density in the various medical specialties.
