Description
The Biotech industry has been very successful in attracting funding for drugs R&D. A major reason for this is that they give a hope to potentially cure some very serious diseases, were traditional medicine has failed. Global diseases are increasingly presented in media, and at the same time the aging population is becoming more aware of increasing healthcare costs. All these factors contribute to an increasing demand for new medical applications.
Enablers
• New diseases
• Globalization of diseases
• Successful biotech medical applications
• Aging population with increasing needs for drugs
Inhibitors
• Explosion of Healthcare costs (public and private)
• “Self correcting mechanism of mother nature”, i.e. increasing health of population
Paradigms
