The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a spike in interest in health technology companies among investors. But will it last?<\/p>\n

The pandemic has increased awareness of the importance of healthcare resources, and has led to steep increases in the valuations of many listed companies in the sector.<\/p>\n

Even before the pandemic, healthcare companies were already catching investors\u2019 attention. The sector is supported by strong fundamentals, such as an ageing population globally and a growing middle class, particularly in Asia.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

The sector is also set to be a beneficiary of the application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data and robotics.<\/p>\n
