The market of private medical services will remain on the rise in 2011, as well, after an estimated 15% increase this year, with acquisitions to continue in the industry, as well as consolidation of big players.
“The market increase will most likely be double-digit,
considering the investments announced by the biggest players and
the pace recorded so far. I don’t think there will be declining
segments, but some sectors will not grow by more than 5-8%. One
example is dentistry, which, overall, will not see a significant
increase,” said Wargha Enayati, founder of Centrul Medical Unirea
(CMU), who now has a minority stake left.
According to data from research company PMR, the market of private
medical services is estimated to be worth 420 million euros in
2010, up 13% against 2009.
Since the end of 2009, when SGAM took over shares in MedLife, the
cumulated value of transactions exceeded 70 million euros.
