Early in 2020, there was a massive pandemic-induced nosedive in merger and acquisitions deals in healthcare. But the industry rapidly rebounded, carrying the momentum from the latter half of 2020—which saw a flurry of deals—into 2021, which saw an accelerated pace of activity.

Looking at the first half of 2021, there were 872 reported healthcare M&A transactions that closed, up 15% from the 738 transactions during H2 2020, Baker Tilly reported.

"It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that we're in a healthy climate for M&A," Don McDaniel, CEO of Canton & Company and a healthcare economist, entrepreneur and advisory services leader. "I think this is, by most accounts, a benchmark year in terms of overall M&A. It doesn't matter which sector you focus on; I think we’re going to continue to see that, we won’t see a lessening of the appetite."
