Summary
Healthcare mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are poised for substantial growth in 2026, influenced significantly by technological advancements, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI). This growth is driven by the increasing appeal of AI-based telehealth tools and solutions that enhance operational efficiencies, leading to higher valuations for companies utilizing these technologies. Strategic and financial motivations behind these deals will target high-growth sectors like ambulatory surgery centers and behavioral health platforms, despite potential challenges from regulatory uncertainties. Industry leaders who leverage AI effectively while navigating policy changes are expected to dominate the M&A landscape in the coming year.
