Interest in dermatology remains strong with numerous successful platforms and a highly fragmented base of physician groups continuing to pursue transactions. Although dermatology as a physician practice sector was one of the earlier physician specialties to attract private equity investment, the investment thesis hasn’t changed since the early days. Several factors are driving the continued interest in dermatology, including:

• Strong demographic tailwinds
• Robust growth in investment in physician practice management
• Proven and attractive economic model
• Covid-19 considerations

Additional well-known factors include: the growth of new technologies (telederm), the growing regulatory and operational complexities of running a practice, the aging population, and the rising prevalence of skin cancer.
