Healthcare Market Update | Q3 2026

Latest market trends, valuation levels, and deals

Financial pressure and consolidation shape the healthcare market

We are pleased to share the latest issue of our Healthcare Market Update for the third quarter 2026. The report highlights current valuation levels, selected transactions and key developments in the healthcare market.

Financial and regulatory pressure across Germany's healthcare sector remains high. Despite a €2.6 billion surplus reported by statutory health insurers in the first half of 2026, benefit expenditure rose by 7.4%, with hospital spending increasing by 9.3%. At the same time, 58% of hospitals surveyed considered their economic situation unsatisfactory, while 61% expected further deterioration. For investors, reimbursement stability and profitability are becoming increasingly important.

Meanwhile, consolidation continues in the rehabilitation and mobility aids market. Strategic acquisitions and private equity investments are supporting portfolio expansion and further growth. A recent example is Bischoff & Bischoff’s acquisition of Trendmobil. Oaklins’ team in Germany identified Trendmobil as a strategically attractive add-on, established contact between the buyer and seller and initiated discussions between the parties. The acquisition expands Bischoff & Bischoff’s product portfolio and strengthens its market position in the mobility segment.
