Executive Summary
Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

Because many drugs are now developed using biotechnology, the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries overlap considerably.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Demand for biotechnology research in the fields of medicine, agriculture, food, and science is driven by insurers' willingness to pay for new medical treatments, the global need to produce more food for a rapidly expanding population, and scientists' desire to find solutions for complex scientific and medical issues.

The profitability of individual companies depends on the discovery and effective marketing of new products. Because the market for potential products is so large, small biotechnology companies can co-exist successfully with large ones if they have expertise in a particular line of research.
