Interesting LinkedIn article by Venkat regarding IPO's

The biotech sector in 2025 is showing encouraging signs of recovery, with a mix of IPO activity, follow-on offerings, and M&A deals shaping the industry’s trajectory. Companies like Metsera, Sionna Therapeutics, and Aardvark Therapeutics have successfully gone public, while Odyssey Therapeutics and HaemaLogiX are preparing their IPOs. Although investor sentiment remains selective, favoring companies with strong differentiation and de-risked profiles, the steady flow of public offerings signals growing confidence in biotech innovation. The growing integration of AI in drug discovery and clinical development is also accelerating investor interest, as companies leverage machine learning to de-risk pipelines and enhance R&D productivity. While the pace of IPOs is still measured compared to the peak years, firms with compelling science and strategic execution are finding their way to the public markets (xtalks.com, fiercebiotech.com).
On the M&A front, while large-scale deals have faced some delays due to economic conditions and regulatory scrutiny, companies like AstraZeneca are actively pursuing strategic acquisitions, such as its recent $1 billion deal for EsoBiotec to enhance its cancer pipeline. Analysts estimate total biopharma M&A deal values could reach between $50 billion and $90 billion in 2025, with the top 25 firms holding over $1.3 trillion in “firepower” for acquisitions. AI-driven biotech startups are becoming increasingly attractive targets, as major pharma players seek to integrate cutting-edge computational biology and predictive analytics into their drug development strategies (iqvia.com, labiotech.eu). While uncertainties persist, the fundamentals of the industry remain strong, setting the stage for a measured but optimistic outlook for the rest of 2025. Looking forward to seeing how the sector evolves in the coming months!

Latest post from Venkat on the bright future of Vyome. I'm not sure how LICH will unfold, but if Vyome becomes a major biotech player, I'm sure LICH will be part of the success story in some way.

The immuno-inflammatory disease space is witnessing rapid growth, driven by major FDA approvals and a surge in novel drug development. AbbVie’s SKYRIZI® (risankizumab-rzaa) was recently approved for ulcerative colitis, expanding its indications across multiple immune-mediated diseases, while Eli Lilly’s Omvoh secured expanded FDA approval for Crohn’s disease, reinforcing the potential of targeted drugs. With next-gen biologics, small-molecule therapies, and precision-based treatments reshaping the industry, the market is poised for significant expansion. The global anti-inflammatory drugs market is expected to grow from $130.7B in 2024 to $272.35B by 2033 (CAGR: 8.5%), while the immunology market is projected to reach $254.23B by 2032. Additionally, the autoimmune disease therapeutics market is set to hit $200B by 2031, driven by increasing disease prevalence and innovation.
With its cutting-edge pipeline of therapies targeting high-unmet-need immuno-inflammatory diseases, Vyome Therapeutics is positioned in the right space at the right time.
