This report also has details on mergers and acquisitions in the industry and to end the report a future outlook for the industry has also been given. Global biotech industry has continuously seen growth over the years.

According to this research, in the year 2005 this industry is estimated  for worth USD63 billion revenues with a growth rate of around 16%; though this revenue is highly concentrated (mainly in North America). The agri biotechnology sector also continued its growth both in terms of innovation and market capitalization. With all these favorable results in 2005 and the potential offered, the biotechnology industry is poised for a big leap in the near future. By 2010, the industry will have radical changes and market is expected to be more than USD128.5 billion. Bionanomedicine and nanotechnology finding enhanced application in disease treatment and drug delivery. Biotechnology would be a triumphant answer to the growing problem of environmental pollution and biodegradation. The pharma companies are increasingly realizing the potential of biotechnology to maintain their decreasing product pipeline and the threat posed by the fact that many blockbuster drugs are soon going to be off patented. So with all these happenings in the biotechnology industry this report promises to capture all the changes and growth.

This report is useful as an important business directional guide for professionals in biotechnology  and Pharma industry as well as for those who are keen on having a firsthand overview of the industry.
