We cannot deny the importance of healthcare and its ubiquitous requirements. With new forms of diseases and viruses being discovered, the field observes technological advancements continually. Besides that, scientists are always exploring therapeutic options in hopes to achieve a cure for existent diseases.

The internet has handed people a prevalent database to aid them in self-medication, and this calls for the need to ‘healthify’ the daily consumer goods. The technological advancements have opened up immense possibilities for the intersection of the healthcare industry with others. The consumer healthcare industry has observed a few notable mergers and acquisitions recently.

The Indian pharma giant Zydus Cadila bought Heinz India, parented by US-based Kraft Heinz, that owns popular brands like Complan and Glucon D. Hindustan Unilever, the Indian subsidiary of the British-Dutch Unilever, has acquired the GlaxoSmithKline’s Horlicks, Boost and Maltova. Rising awareness among consumers regarding healthy food and its positive influence on their lifestyles is prominently increasing the demand for the market.

Along with its penetration into daily nutritional goods, the healthcare industry has also made remarkable progress on the medical front. The World Health Organization recently released a report on the pricing of cancer drugs that has sparked the age-old debate of the economics of cancer medicines.
