GlobalData: A Quartet of Strategic Acquisitions Catalyzing Growth

GlobalData Plc, a prominent data, analytics, and insights company, executed four acquisitions within a week, following the establishment of a substantial funding facility in late 2023. The company, headquartered in London, had earlier divided into three divisions post a major private equity deal with Inflexion, handing over a minority stake in its healthcare business, valued at 1.1 billion. A segment of this deal included a 176.6 million facility aimed at their healthcare operations. GlobalData's recent acquisitions include Deallus, a life sciences-focused intelligence solutions provider, along with Business Trade Media International, LinkUp, and Celent. Deallus, led by CEO Pete Hempshall, brings substantial expertise, particularly in critical therapy areas like oncology and neuroscience. GlobalData's CEO, Mike Danson, highlighted that these acquisitions enhance the company's capabilities in delivering life sciences solutions and are strategically aligned to foster growth within the pharmaceutical sector.
