A study released by BIO and BioMedTracker claims that the success rate in bringing new medicines to market in the past six years is only about half of what it had been previously. The study claims, however that biotech drugs are twice as likely to gain approval, compared to more traditional chemical drugs.

The importance of maintaining a steady pipeline of drugs to market is having varied effects on the biotechnology industry. Larger firms are leaning on acquisitions to quickly expand their product lines while smaller ones are opting for increased spending on research and development. This creates two potential avenues of profit for speculative biotech investors: a greater chance of a blockbuster drug or being acquired by a larger firm eager to boost its pipeline.
