The healthcare and biotech sectors are set to regain investor interest in 2024 due to long-term growth prospects, aided by structural drivers such as ageing populations and rising healthcare expenditure.

Healthcare now contributes 10.2% of global GDP, with annual spending expected to reach $14 trillion by 2030.

Previously overshadowed by technology, healthcare is now viewed as undervalued following small-cap underperformance last year.
