2012 Pharma Summary Report: “The Winners and Losers of the Pharmaceutical Industry 2012″

Posted on:

Bioassociate just published a new summary paper on the Pharma Industry in 2012.

This report presents the biggest winners and losers of the pharma industry in 2012, from both the financial and the scientific aspects.

The financial performance of the biotechnology and healthcare indexes showed robust yield compared to the leading indexes, with the Nasdaq Biotechnology index returning ~35% growth YTD (more than 4 times that of the Dow Jones). For some of the publicly traded companies in the sector 2012 was an eventful year, with major achievements that were strongly reflected in their stock performance. The average return on investment this year for the top five companies was more than 350%, fueling up investors’ dreams.

This year we witnessed a bigger appetite for institutional funding when twelve new pharmaceutical companies entered the stock exchanges compared to the ten IPOs in 2011. The IPOs of 2012 were larger than last year, with Puma Biotechnology leading the pack with its mega IPO of $138M.

“Pharmerging Markets: China – the Next Major Innovative Pharma Market?” – Bioassociate’s Latest White Paper

Posted on:

China: what has perhaps become one of the most persistent words in everyday lives across the globe. Aside from being colossal in size, powerful and significantly richer than most countries today, China is also on the brink of monumental change, more than ever threatening to reshape the world’s economy. Having gained immense momentum from being the manufacturing hub of the world, China has now reached the natural growth limitations of its imitative economy, and is on the brink of a transition towards becoming a global innovator. The government has set sights on the pharmaceutical industry as the leader of this transformation: the latest set of China’s five year plans is so elaborately focused on revamping and innovating the domestic pharma industry, that it has been named as one of the greatest government R&D initiatives of all time.
