In this paper, we summarise our sector experts’ analysis of the emerging issues, risks and opportunities that are affecting the Healthcare sector and related sub-industries in the transition to a more sustainable economy.
We explore three key themes driving sustainability-related opportunities and risks for the sector over the next one to two years:
- Applications of artificial intelligence (AI) that can improve patient outcomes while reducing healthcare system costs
- Regulatory risks that remain in the headlines due to public concerns but, due to political realities, should prove less negative than they might initially appear
- Geopolitical tensions that are directing governments to look at pharmaceuticals and life sciences sectors through a national security lens
In turn, we then share our sector experts’ perspectives on how these opportunities and risks are evolving for three sub-industries, namely:
- Healthcare equipment
- Life sciences
- Managed health care
