Report: Private Equity Likely to Deploy $1.5 Trillion War Chest in Home-Based Care Market

Private equity players are sitting on more dry powder than ever before, entering 2020 with a reported $1.5 trillion in unspent capital. In all likelihood, a portion of this cash will go into the in-home care space, HomeHealthCareNews.com reports. 

In general, the health care sector has already seen an increase in private equity investment over the past few years. There were 299 health care deals involving private equity buyers or sellers in 2009; that number is expected to skyrocket to almost 750 for 2019 when all the deal data is in and analyzed, according to statistics from PricewaterhouseCoopers.
