The
healthcare market is one of the largest in the world, comparing only to giant
spheres such as the five trillion of food retail. Healthcare products alone are
forecasted to reach a $3 trillion value by the end of 2015, which has rocketed
investments in the sphere. Home healthcare, healthcare IT and Tele-health are
amongst the most popular segments, responsible for the fast booming of the
market.
The industry as a whole is very labor insensitive – it is responsible
for a large portion of the PhD related work places and is accounting for
large portions of R&D investments. There are several companies dominating
the world market, which has made competition fierce. Differentiation is very
easy to achieve, which has led to a lot of external financing for different
projects connected with research and development.
Tenet Healthcare, as one of
the largest companies on the scene experienced a lot of fluctuation in its
share values. However, it almost never went below the 2013 benchmark of $43 and
with the well performing growth rates of the industry the short term analysis
of the company stock seems stable.
