The healthcare private equity investment landscape in 2025 is expected to be shaped by a mix of optimism and caution. Even with tariff-related uncertainty and a challenging macroeconomic, investor sentiment has strengthened since the start of the year, with many expecting steady or increased deal activity. ​A combination of attractive assets coming to market, record-long hold periods, and pressure from LPs is driving expectations for greater capital deployment. At the same time, tariffs, shifting reimbursement dynamics, and operational challenges are prompting investors to adopt a more rigorous and data-driven diligence approach. ​


Within this environment, thematic focus areas such as healthcare facilities, hospital operations software, and non-physician services are drawing significant attention, with AI increasingly viewed as an important influence on investment opportunities.​ Our Healthcare vertical has compiled the results of a recent survey, conducted by Grant Thornton Stax, highlighting the changing landscape in the Healthcare industry and the opportunities becoming present to PE investors.
