Drugs - Classification
Drugs
Four biologics made the top ten best selling list and seven biologics made the top twenty lists in 2008 ( A very positive trend for bio-drugs)
The global pharmaceutical market is forecast to grow to $929 billion in 2012, an equivalent CAGR of 5.5% over the next four years
An Interlude
to test the efficacy/toxicity of the drugs. Generics drugs are drugs manufactured after a patent expires and are NOT required to do Pre clinical trials . They just directly perform Bioavailability /Bio-equivalent studies (i.e. Phase I of Clinical Trials).
Core Pharma developing small molecule drugs perform Biological Testing & Validation as a part of the Pre-Clinical Testing. Fertile ground for Bioscience research.
2. CRAMS :: Bio-Services
CRAMS - Contract Research and Manufacturing Services. Overseas Companies have started to outsource their work to cut their cost from 40 70%. India A favored destination. ~98 Contract Research Organizations (both domestic & global) having operations in India.
CRAMS :: INDIAN SCENARIO
The Indian biotechnology sector is one of the fastest growing knowledge-based sectors in India. Currently, India holds two per cent share of the global market.
5. Agriculture Biotech
One of the fastest growing sectors in the industry. India became the fourth largest adopter of biotech crop in the world, by planting Bt cotton on 7.6 million hectares The companies that come in the top 20 are all involved in developing Bt hybrid varieties. Current Size - $ 318 Million USD
6. Bioinformatics Companies
A small section is involved in Bio-informatics approaches to help in drug discovery. (studying Structure Activity Relationship of drug-target etc) $47 Million USD. Expected to grow considering Indias IT strength
Not a lot of R & D right now, but expected to Grow. Currently a billion dollar industry . Diagnostics subsectors are Heavily Fragmented.
