The Rise of Global Healthcare Stocks
SHARE

For new and experienced traders alike, there is no shortage of options when investing in global stock indices. London, New York, Frankfurt, and more – the world’s major exchanges are home to a variety of companies across virtually every sector and industry. The healthcare sector is no exception. Even in itself, there are choices to made when trading healthcare stocks. After all, it isn’t just drug companies. There are facility operators and care equipment manufacturers too.

Why have healthcare stocks grown over the past few years?

Healthcare is one of those industries for which there will always be demand. Every nation has a healthcare system in some form or another. And all of these call on the services of corporations who are actively engaged in the creation and supply of care and medical products. Yet, the past few years have seen an increasing appetite for investing in healthcare stocks. Why is this?

Well, one obvious reason is the Covid-19 pandemic. The return to ‘normal’ life after restrictions owes much to a concerted effort to develop effective vaccinations in double-quick time. The UK government enlisted seven suppliers as part of its vaccine roll-out – and it’s reasonable to think that will have benefited those suppliers from both a financial and reputational point of view.

Mind you, the continued reliance on healthcare solutions underpins that growth. It is a sector in which investors are bullish about its long-term potential – not just short-term opportunities. For the world as a whole, nearly 10% of GDP is spent on healthcare. That gives it a level of stability that some industries just can’t match up to. And that’s where investors draw much confidence.
