What is the average EV/EBITDA multiple for Healthcare & Pharma transactions in 2026?

mynth tracks 300+ verified Healthcare & Pharma M&A transactions with an average EV/EBITDA of 13.4x for the year 2026. Our Healthcare & Pharma vertical provides deep granular data across the entire value chain of the Healthcare & Pharma industries. We track valuation multiples and transaction financials for a wide range of sub-industries, including Life Sciences, Animal Health, Medical Devices, Implants & Prosthetics, Diagnostic Equipment, Medical Consumables, Pharma & Biotech, CDMO, Generics / Labs and R&D Biotech. Whether you are looking for benchmarks in niche Healthcare & Pharma segments or broad market trends, mynth centralizes deal flow intelligence that covers specialized mid-market players and large-scale industrial consolidators across Europe.

Who are the most active acquirers in European Healthcare & Pharma M&A?

According to mynth's community-contributed database of European Healthcare & Pharma transactions over the last 5 years, 62.9% of deals were driven by Private Equity firms while 37.1% were led by strategic acquirers. Among the most active buyers tracked on mynth: Ardian, a private equity firm based in FRANCE, with 17 transactions, Eqt Partners, a private equity firm based in SWEDEN, with 9 deals, Permira, a private equity firm based in UNITED KINGDOM, with 9 operations, Eurazeo, a private equity firm based in FRANCE, with 7 acquisitions, Ik Partners, a private equity firm based in UNITED KINGDOM, with 5 transactions.

How did we build this Healthcare & Pharma analysis?

The 13.4x average EV/EBITDA is based on mynth’s verified database of 300+ Healthcare & Pharma M&A transactions. The data is contributed by M&A and private equity professionals, then manually reviewed by mynth’s analysts to ensure consistency and accuracy. Each transaction is validated by comparing submitted figures with press releases, public announcements, market coverage, and private documents when available. This methodology gives mynth access to transaction-level intelligence that is often unavailable in traditional databases, allowing for a more precise view of valuation trends across the Healthcare & Pharma industry. Thanks to this community-driven approach, we provide a unique and highly granular view of each sector and sub-sector, from Life Sciences and Health Providers to Animal Health, Medical Devices and Pharma & Biotech, as examples.

How does mynth enrich this analysis for users?

Once logged in, users can access detailed financial data for each transaction, including the Enterprise Value, Equity Value, Revenue, EBITDA, and EBIT for the current year and for prior fiscal years, as well as the corresponding Revenue, EBITDA, and EBIT multiples. On each deal page, the sources of the financial data are clearly indicated: links to press articles or official announcements, or a tag specifying when the data comes from confidential documents shared by the user. This transparency helps users assess the reliability and origin of the valuation figures. Every company in the database is tagged by sector with four levels of granularity, enabling users to distinguish between very different business models and valuation approaches that would otherwise be hidden at a broad sector level. This granularity helps distinguish between clinical‑pipeline driven biotechs, capital‑heavy hospital chains, and asset‑light service providers, each with very different valuation profiles. The platform also tags each company by geography, enabling users to focus on specific countries or regions. mynth features a powerful search engine that lets you run highly refined queries by sector (with all four levels of industry depth), country, and company size, so you can quickly build custom peer groups, compare multiples, and export results directly to Excel.
