In the healthcare market, the first quarter is not usually known for being particularly investment-heavy. However, with the current supply shortages, energy market disruptions, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing Corona pandemic, new variables are emerging that are having a major impact on investment patterns.
According to Rock Health's quarterly report, 183 deals worth $6.0 billion were completed in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2022, with an average deal size of $32.8 million. This quarter was thereby well below the $7.3 billion raised in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the quarterly average of $7.1 billion over the past 12 months.
Individual months also showed wide fluctuations, ranging from $1.4 billion (February) to $1.6 billion (March) in investments and $3 billion (January). According to Rock Health, this quarter's funding numbers "could be leading indicators of a correction in funding for digital health companies."
