77 Leading Chinese Enterprises Headed by BAT Have Deeply Entered the Digital Health Sector

Over the past two years, the notion of a “capital winter” has gained significant traction. In reality, active capital in China primarily falls into two categories: venture capital and corporate capital (also known as industrial capital). The so-called “capital winter” often refers specifically to the contraction in venture capital. VCBeat has summarized investment trends in China’s digital health sector over the past six years, revealing that corporate capital has been highly active since 2014. This surge is mainly driven by two factors: first, the prolonged slump in the stock market has prompted capital to seek alternative outlets; second, the digital health industry has become increasingly popular, attracting substantial investment.

In light of this, VCBeat Research Institute authored the “2010–H1 2016 Digital Health Investment Report on Chinese Corporate Capital,” based on the number of digital health financing transactions involving corporate capital from 2010 to the first half of 2016. Our analysis of corporate investment activities reveals the following:Surge in Activity Among Corporate Investors，GP Investment Models Outnumber Strategic Investment Models，Listed Companies Are More Active Than Non-Listed Companies，Internet Companies Focus More on Digital Health，Early-Stage Projects Are More Favored by Corporate Capital. Secondly, we present a relationship logic diagram of representative enterprises in the digital health market.
