Q3 2023 Pharma Services Update

Despite an uncertain macroeconomic environment, rising interest rates, political headwinds in Washington, and the impact of tightening credit markets, M&A activity in pharma services displayed strong resiliency in Q3-23, fueled by platform investments and dozens of add-on acquisitions. Investors remain attracted to the long-term tailwinds driving growth across outsourced pharma services including cash-rich sponsors and CROs, reducing costs, technological advancements, and access to value-added specialty services. Large pharma services conglomerates continue to diversify their service offerings to de-risk revenue concentration and provide more full-service solutions for their clients and patients.

Provident expects pharma service M&A activity to remain strong in Q4 and in 2024 as companies look to fill the potential growth gap from the $100B in patents set to expire by 2030, and PE sponsors begin to exit more mature portfolio companies.
