Medical Device and In Vitro Diagnostics/Research Deal Statistics Quarterly, Q3 2010
Medical device financings during the third quarter of 2010 brought in $997 million, an increase of 82% from the second quarter's $548 million. While Q3 M&A activity was down slightly from last quarter - only 15 mergers were completed, compared with 18 in Q2 - more money was involved: an impressive $6.7 billion. The venture rounds for PacBio and Complete Genomics boosted late-stage VC money to $171 million in the third quarter, two-thirds of the entire amount for the in vitro diagnostics/research industry. Despite only five acquisitions closing during the third quarter, the M&A dollar volume for the IVD/research industry was just north of $2 billion.
In this issue, we present another installment of our quarterly
review of medical device and in vitro diagnostic/research
dealmaking – for the third quarter of 2010. Our data come
