Q4 2023 Pharma Services Update

M&A activity in pharma services displayed strong resiliency in Q4-23, fueled by platform investments and dozens of add-on acquisitions. Investors remain attracted to the long-term tailwinds driving increasing usage of outsourced services by pharma sponsors and CROs. Sponsors and CROs serve as a well-capitalized customer base and they continue to outsource service lines in order reduce costs, utilize new technologies, and access value added specialty services.

Large pharma services conglomerates continue to diversify their service offerings to de-risk revenue concentration and become more full-service solutions for their clients and patients.

Provident expects pharma services M&A activity to remain strong 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.
