BRAKKE 咨询观点
What an exciting time to be in animal health! The leading stories this week are about growth and investment in the industry. There is clearly a thirst by investor groups and companies to invest in veterinary clinics, and early stage or currently operating companies within animal health. It does not appear to matter whether it is a drug, non-drug, diagnostic, digital product or service, there is an investor prepared to invest. The investments are also across all species, which is a shift from a few years ago when most investing was focused on the companion animal segment.
Why is this occurring? The animal health and pet industries globally are growing faster than most other market categories. Second, the low cost of capital has many investors desiring to have one or more animal health industry investments in their portfolio.
Have a great Father’s Day weekend and stay cool!
罗恩·布拉克
