The healthcare sector’s performance is mostly driven by the rising demand for healthcare services and products. According to Modern Healthcare, “the healthcare industry has long fueled the country’s economy. Demand is expected to pick up as the population ages, people live longer, more gain insurance coverage and chronic conditions become more prevalent”. With the demand for healthcare expected to rise, increased merger and acquisition activity, improved technological innovation, intensifying demand for new drugs and cost-reduction are some of the factors expected to drive growth in the sector. As healthcare companies work to develop fresh methods to improve the quality of care that can be provided, whether it be technology, devices or drugs, stocks within the sector are beginning to see higher activity in the markets.Click Here For Today's Trending Healthcare Stocks
