Q1-2022 Laboratory & Diagnostic Services Update

Deal volume in the laboratory and diagnostic services sectors started off to a quick pace as several transactions originated in 2021 slipped into 2022. The prevalence of strategic add-on acquisitions continued as private equity and strategic consolidators further capitalize on a growing end-user market.

At the outset of 2022, COVID-19 testing centers nationwide struggled to meet the Omicron variant induced demand for accurate at home testing kits. As a result, investors and strategic consolidators alike looked to enhance point-of-care delivery models and buy-in on the emerging at home testing modality. Evidencing this trend, Sorrento Therapeutics acquired Virex Health, a developer of a novel at-home COVID-19 testing option. The acquisition expands Sorrento’s testing portfolio to include affordable and easy-to-use testing options with a variety of end markets.

Looking ahead, Provident anticipates deal flow to remain high as large players continue to acquire smaller companies with a novel offering to broaden their network and expand service capabilities. Smaller companies will continue to see benefit from increased capital and access to technological advancements.
