The strategy of BD is taking a new turn with the announcement of the separation of its activities, aimed at revitalizing investment in medical technologies. By paving the way for targeted investments in high-growth segments, this strategic decision could offer unprecedented opportunities in the medtech sector. The project aims not only to enhance operational capabilities but also to explore promising areas, thus fostering innovation and efficiency in the service of health.

BD: a separation of its activities to energize investment

BD’s decision to consider a separation of its biosciences and diagnostics activities aims to streamline its operations and focus on highgrowth segments. CEO Tom Polen highlighted the potential market opportunities in the interventional sector. Through this separation, BD hopes to not only reorient its investments but also optimize its resources to move toward highmargin and increased growth areas.

An innovative strategy to attract investors

By distinguishing itself from some of its traditional activities, BD projects a new image to investors. This could facilitate the mobilization of capital in segments where innovations in medical technology are crucial, such as surgery or diagnostic devices. An emphasis on infections and cancer in capital expenditures could open new avenues for innovation.

Implications of this separation for the future of BD

Furthermore, this separation could offer BD greater flexibility in its acquisition approach. The company could explore market penetration opportunities in emerging sectors. Analysts predict that the growth of the medtech unit will intensify, promoting a more strategic use of its asset portfolio and an acceleration of the implementation of innovative projects.
