Summary
Investments in the global medical devices industry exceeded $73 billion in 2009. In the same year, $18.7 billion worth mergers & acquisitions (M&A) including asset transactions were carried out. While the industry actually witnessed a decline in the value of investments and M&As in 2009, the last couple of years had been startlingly dynamic for the global medical devices industry. One trend that was clearly visible was Big Pharma's increasing interest in medical device companies. Abbott's acquisition of Advanced Medical Optics
(AMO), Johnson & Johnson's (J&J) acquisition of Mentor Corporation are some key examples.

GlobalData's new report, "Mergers, Acquisitions, Strategic Partnerships and Licensing in the Medical Devices Industry-Portfolio Diversification Driving Big-Pharma's Medical Device Buyouts" provides key data, information and analysis on the intra and inter-industry consolidation activity involving medical device companies. The report is supplemented with data and insight on key mergers, acquisitions, strategic partnerships and licensing agreements carried out in the last few years. The report also provides information on the strategic rationale behind each deal, the post-deal impact analysis and what could it mean to the industry and the competitive landscape.

This report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in-house analysis by GlobalData's team of industry experts.
