This is an overview report for the library of Global, National and Regional Analyses. It is an examination of the global Biotechnology and Life Science markets as of 2007 with a focus on the international investment in Biotechnology.

This report examines the different models being used by various countries to attract both investment and development of the Life Science and Biotechnology sectors in the different countries. The analysis presents the basic figures that allow a direct comparison of the real support and investment given to the various countries. The tables give the data without the promotional slant that different countries present and allow a fuller understanding of the opportunities for development within these countries.

The primary objective of this Report is to not only compare the countries as places for doing business but also to establish measurement tools to assess the continuing future for the country concerned. The objective is achieved by examining the global Biotechnology market in the key regions and countries with examples from
Europe – Old and New (Eastern incl. Russia) America – North & South Asia Pacific Rim
The different countries are examined from the main aspects of
Life Science Research Dynamics.
Biotechnology Funding & Uses
Biotechnology Business & Quantification
Healthcare Funding Sources, Applications & Quantification

In addition to detailing the products and their uses, the global markets are quantified and described by region and country as well as by application. The analysis highlights the different focus with many of the developing countries identifying niche applications outside of BioPharmaceutical products.

Written in November 2007 this report will be updated for all key charts and changes within the market in the coming months.

The global Biotechnology research market is strongly led by the impact of Drug Discovery and the need to develop Pharmaceutical products but there are an increasing number of new areas where the technology is being applied. It is these new areas in response to issues of Energy, Environment, Climate Change and Home Defence that whole new business areas will develop based on application of Biotechnology. The way in which various countries will seek to exploit their natural resources and science base will depend on the factors detailed in this report.

The Report is now integrated within the Global Library of World, National and Regional in depth Information and Market Analyses where individual countries or regions are analysed to provide the fine detail for individual markets.
