In 2009 the Biotechnology Industry was Dominated by the Top 10 Companies
The biotechnology industry has emerged as a major growth area in the global healthcare industry. Since its emergence in the 1970s, the biotechnology market has shown tremendous growth, reaching approximately $128 billion in 2009.
On average, the revenues of the top 10 publicly listed biotechnology companies have increased by approximately 14% in 2009 over 2008. In fact, companies such as Alexion Pharmaceuticals Inc. recorded revenue growth rates of 50% in 2008. In contrast, the biggest player Amgen recorded low growth rates, mainly because of safety concerns related to some of its products.
The high growth in the revenues of biotechnology companies can be attributed to their focus on areas of clinical need that are unmanageable with conventional therapeutics, such as oncology, infectious diseases including HIV, and autoimmune disorders. A strong product pipeline for most of the top 10 biotechnology companies will result in a continuation of this growth trend in the future.
The Highly Consolidated Biologics Market will be Challenged by the Entry of Biosimilars
The author's analysis suggests that the competitive landscape of the global biotechnology industry is dynamic and will change in the near future. Currently, Roche/Genentech is the global leader in the biotechnology industry with revenues from biological of $36.1 billion in 2009, closely followed by Amgen with revenues of $14.7 billion. Over the next five years, the ranking will be definitely affected by changes in market conditions such as approvals for biosimilars and merger and acquisition deals that have taken place in the last two years. The companies that will grow and move up towards a leadership position within this fiercely competitive industry may be Novo Nordisk, Merck and Baxter and Biogen Idec.
