Best Performing Sub-Sectors
Developments in the market have changed the sub-sectors which respondents see as most likely to perform best in the year ahead. Mid- and Small-Cap Pharma & Biotech is where investors see the greatest opportunity (54%). It benefits from a shared confident outlook from Institutional Investors, Private Equity and Healthcare Corporates themselves.
The outlook for Large Cap Pharma is much more muted, with only 15% selecting it as the most likely sub-sector to perform best. Versus last year, Tools and Diagnostics has come off the boil, from 13% viewing it favourably to just 5% this year.
Healthcare IT is one to watch, increasing from 7% to 12% in this year’s report, showing a positive trajectory.
