Medtech Business Models: All Razor And No Blades – Is “Big Iron” Back In Vogue?

The conventional wisdom in the medtech industry is to pursue the “razor-razor blade” business model, as each placement of capital equipment generates a lucrative annuity of recurring revenues from disposables. The corollary to this conventional wisdom is that so-called “big iron” is to be avoided as, in sharp contrast, it suffers from greater early cash requirements and longer sales cycles that create difficulties forecasting quarterly revenues, and provides no annuities. But that view is no longer the only one that counts, Health Advances CEO Mark Speers argues.

Dealmaking Quarterly Statistics, Q1 2023

During Q1, biopharma merger and acquisition deal value reached $51.9bn and drew in $38.1bn in potential deal value from alliances. Device company M&A values reached $4.8bn, while in vitro diagnostics and research tools players’ M&A activity totaled $2.7bn.

Deals In Depth: April 2023

Six $1bn+ alliances were penned in April. Topping the list was a potential $2.55bn multi-year deal between Proxygen and Merck to jointly identify and develop molecular glue degraders against multiple therapeutic targets. The collaboration will allow Proxygen to leverage its platform and advance Merck's understanding in molecular glue degraders to open new avenues in the pursuit of novel therapeutics.
