HIGHLIGHTS
• Royalty stacking, data exclusivity, biopiracy, biosafety, bioterrorism are some of the
major issues while food safety and security, sustainability of the environment, human
health and medicine are major challenges
• Major technologies: Polymerase chain reaction, radioactive tracer, bioprocess
technology, monoclonal antibody, cloning, genetic therapy, bionanotechnology,
microarray, transgenic plants, bioinformatics
• In medical biotech, the top 10 companies in 2005 are Amgen, Genentech, Genzyme,
Serono SA, BiogenIdec, Gilead, Chiron Corporation, MedImmune, Invitrogen, Millenium
• FDA in the US, Patent Office in the UK, Ministry of Health, labour and welfare in
Japan, Australian competition and consumer commission, Drug controller geberal of
India are some of the important regulatory bodies across the globe
• Chiron, one of the oldest biotech company gets acquired by Novartis in a deal value
of USD5100 m
• Government initiatives, research and development, entrepreneurial environment,
spin-offs and start-up farms, effective commercialization, availability of funds, critical
alliances are the critical success factors for the industry

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
• 324 biotech drugs in the pipeline that include 154 medicines for cancer, 43 for
infectious diseases, 26 for autoimmune diseases and 17 for AIDS/HIV
Agricultural Biotechnology
• Biotechnology contributes to agriculture through increasing the yield, lowering
the cost of inputs( like pest resistant seeds) , higher quality foods (like lower fat
meals)
• 21 countries were cultivating genetically modified crops in 2005 all across the
globe with France, Czech Republic and Iran accepting membership of the
‘transgenic club’
• Nutritionally-enhanced genetically modified rice is set to become a significant
product in the near future, but till then soybean is likely to lead GM seeds sale
until 2011
• Japan is the leader in production of amino acids and fermented food products
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Bioindustry
• Replacement of hydrocarbon-based materials with plant as well as microbes
based renewable resources and estimates suggest that by 2010, this will affect
the chemical industry to the tune of USD160 billion
• Biodiesel and bioethanol are two areas showing immense potential and promise
to give an alternative to the fossil fuel in future
• Sources such as crops, grasses and municipal waste have the potential to
reduce the energy dependency on fossil fuels to a great extent using
biotechnology
• Bioremediation sector is showing potential with companies experimenting the
genetic modification of microbes to produce better microbial species for
bioremediation
• Scientists are combining nanotechnology with biotechnology (bio-
nanotechnology) and getting encouraging results
Biodiesel, bioethanol coming up fast to rescue from the ever decreasing fossil fuel reserve
and bioremediation going to be an effective way to restore mother earth
GROWTH DRIVERS
Aging population in some countries driving the biotechnology industry like never before with
the opportunity to provide better health to the senior citizen making the industry vibrant
ISSUES & CHALLENGES
Major challenges include providing alternative to the ever decreasing fossil fuel,
food safety and security, sustainability of environment and food safety and
security
Biotechnology industry currently faces the following issues:
• Bioterrorism (Spreading fear through Anthrax, Small pox, plague, botulism)
• Human genome project (A mammoth project with gigantic goals)
• Cloning and stem cell research giving rise to an ethical issue
• Acrimonious environment with genetically modified crops (the US and EU at
loggerheads)
• Concern of environmentalists over the issue of biosafety with genetically
modified crops
• Concern of the animal rights activists over the use of laboratory animals
Genetically modified crops turning out to be an acrimonious subject between some countries
like the US and European Union
ISSUES & CHALLENGES
Issues related to biotechnology industry need to be addressed through balanced and accurate
dissemination of information and making technology easily accessible to more and more people
TECHNOLOGY
Monoclonal antibodies finding increasing application in curing diseases and cloning technique
providing the scientists with new opportunities in disease treatment
TECHNOLOGY
Thanks to the stem cell technology- patients of Parkinson’s disease finding hope of getting
cured
