Healthcare Sector Outlook Remains Positive on Global Earnings Boost

KUALA LUMPUR — MBSB Research has maintained a POSITIVE outlook on the healthcare sector following strong 4QFY25 earnings in the US and Europe, driven largely by pharmaceuticals. Demand for GLP-1 drugs, used in diabetes and obesity treatment, lifted pharmaceutical performance, while US hospitals reported resilient inpatient volumes despite labour shortages.

Healthcare Sector Outlook

Medical devices and equipment also saw higher demand for high-margin treatments, with oncology drugs adding further momentum. Malaysian healthcare players are expected to mirror global trends, supported by medical tourism, government initiatives to reduce medical costs, recovery in the glove sector, and growth in the halal pharmaceutical market. These factors provide additional upside, positioning Malaysia’s healthcare industry for sustained expansion in 2026.
