How every dealmaker can create long-term value in a consolidating Consumer Healthcare market
More than 150 significant transactions completed since 2020, buyers pay high premium for speed-to-scale and immediate market access, but many deals fail to deliver value to shareholders, the acquired businesses and the Consumer Healthcare market.
That’s why we have launched our new service M&A Watch which provides sector-specific market intelligence & dealmaking guidelines to navigate the complexities of Consumer Healthcare M&A on both the buy and sell side.

Why buy this report?
"M&A in the Consumer Health sector is at an all-time recent high. Although the number of deals is down, the average deal value in 2025 is €2.9bn reflecting two mega-deals, CD&R’s purchase of a controlling 50% stake in Opella and CapVest’s acquisition of Stada after its owner’s two-year search for a cash-out. Although these deals are likely to be profitable, many deals fail to deliver value to shareholders, the acquired businesses and the CHC market.
That's why we have launched M&A Watch, a three-tier service, starting with the M&A Watch Foundation Report which will help to navigate the complexities of Consumer Healthcare M&A on both the buy and sell side.
Quarterly updates and deep-dive analysis will follow from 2026. Customers who purchase the Foundation Report will get complimentary access to the first two quarterly updates."
