Judging by the merger and acquisition activity among medical device makers so far this year the pandemic is a thing of the past. Deals worth $31.5bn were closed in the first six months of 2021, outstripping the total for all of 2020.

This is all the more startling given the vast amount of venture cash private medtechs can access; there is very little financial pressure for these groups to sell out. And, with eight megamergers already announced so far this year, the sector is not slowing down. 2021 could end up being a vintage year for consolidation.
