Indian Healthcare Sector: Most Favorable Destination For Equity Investment

Future of the Indian Healthcar e Industry

Healthcare in India is one of the fastest-growing industries, both in terms of revenue and employment. In terms of incremental growth, the Indian healthcare market is expected to rank among the top three healthcare markets in the world by the end of the current year. Indian healthcare is expected to grow at 12% CAGR over the next decade, from US$99 billion in 2015 (as per the PwC report), thanks to increasing per capita disposable income, urbanization, health awareness, rapid change in disease patterns from acute to chronic, and growth in domestic healthcare infrastructure.

•The growth is fuelled by the following:

• Aging population

• Rising healthcare awareness

• Growing health insurance penetration

• Raising the government’s focus on providing universal healthcare

• The growing burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)

•Along with these factors, India’s unique value position in the form of low costs, availability of advanced technologies, and skilled workforce are further propelling the medical value travel in the country.

India – A Favorable Destination for PE Firms

All these factors and recent government helpful policies are responsible for attracting domestic as well as foreign investments from private equity (PE), venture firms, and healthcare players. With its high economic growth, low labor costs, and numerous untapped industries, India is steadily becoming a favorable investment destination. Government initiatives to promote ease of doing business, such as relaxing foreign direct investment norms, strengthening research and development (R&D) in the sector, and strengthening intellectual property rights (IPR) regimes, have increased private equity firms in India.
