1. The consolidation — such as the Zimmer/Biomet deal and Medtronic/Covidien deal announced earlier this year — are making even bigger global leaders.
2. Mid-sized and smaller manufacturers are now merging to strengthen product pipelines.
3. Tight regulations on tax inversions aren’t stopping the year’s biggest transactions in the sector, including the Medtronic/Covidien deal.
