Urology Private Equity - Physician Growth Partners

Urology Private Equity – Market Update

Summer 2022

SHARE

In recent years urology has grown as an attractive specialty target for private equity investors. With a historically fragmented landscape, large PE-backed platforms have increased their efforts to form partnerships in the last three years, making for a highly competitive M&A market. Private equity sponsors find the specialty to be an attractive space due to the size of the market & attractive demographics, opportunities for ancillary service growth and a continuous increase in demand for quality care. Investors looks to overcome the headwinds that private practices now face. These include administrative burdens that affect clinical capacity, staff and physician recruiting, and high capital expenditures for ancillaries such as pathology laboratories, lithotripsy equipment and ambulatory surgery center buildouts. According to the AUA’s 2021 Census, 52% of practicing urologists work in private practice, down from nearly 60% in 2017. As urology consolidation continues, the window to gain a first mover advantage will shrink. However, private equity remains an attractive option for groups seeking partnerships to achieve their clinical goals and succession plans.
