Global venture capital funding in digital health sector at record high of $4.9 billion in January-June: Report

New Delhi: Venture capital funding in digital health sector reached a record high of $4.9 billion in January-June, 2018 as global tech giants expanded their presence in the space, says a report. According to communications and research firm Mercom Capital Group llc, the global VC funding of $4.9 billion came through 383 deals. The figure stood at $4 billion through 359 deals in January-June, 2017. “Digital health continues to grow at a record pace and is well on its way to smashing 2017’s record of $7.2 billion in VC funding,” Mercom Capital Group CEO and Co-Founder Raj Prabhu said.

Simultaneously, the tech giants are boosting digital health in a big way,” Prabhu said. Meanwhile, the total corporate funding in digital health companies - including VC, debt, and public market financing – also touched a record high of $4.4 billion during April-June 2018 compared to $3 billion in the previous March quarter. In terms of merger and acquisition, there were 116 global digital health M&A transactions in the first half of this year compared to 90 in the corresponding period last year. “M&A activity was also up, and overall, it was a very robust first half of 2018 for digital health companies,” Prabhu said.
