Biotech M&A and Licensing Strategies - Co-development Agreements are Poised to Increase in the Future to Counter Drying Pipelines

Summary

GBI Research's pharmaceutical research, "Biotech M&A and Licensing Strategies - Co-development Agreements are Poised to Increase in the Future to Counter Drying Pipelines", provides insights into the global biotech M&A and licensing strategies. The report provides an in-depth analysis of the major M&A trends in the biotech industry along with the major drivers leading to an increased M&A activity in the current biotech industry. The report also delves into the M&A scenario in RNA therapeutics, monoclonal antibodies, biomarkers, biosimilars and global vaccines market. In addition, the report also analyzes the top 10 biotech companies with respect to the licensing agreement activities.

The report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research, and in-house analysis by GBI Research's team of industry experts.

GBI Research analysis revealed that acquisitions, as an M&A strategy, dominate the biotech industry with a total of 72% of the M&A deals involving acquisitions. Acquisition strategy was adopted by biotech companies to have high speed access to resources, avoid barriers of entry and expand their portfolio of products and to improve their asset valuation. On the other hand, co-development deals dominates the licensing strategies landscape as compared to licensing agreements and are expected to increase at a higher rate in future. Co-development deals in the biotech industry witnessed a drastic increase in 2010 from 2009. There were 241 co-development activities that occurred in the year 2009 compared to 216 that occurred between January 2010 and August 2010. RNA therapeutics pipeline is the most promising with more than 89% of the licensing deals occurred for discovery and preclinical stage of development. The trend indicates that the future of RNA therapeutic research and development will be prosperous for at least the next five years.
