2023 September Life Sciences Update

Despite Share Price Volatility, 2022 Biotech Revenues Were at Peak Levels

› Biotech, one of the fastest growing segments in life sciences is an indicator of growth for the sector. › The run-up in biotech pricing through 2021 added a significant amount of liquidity to the life sciences sector. However, the steep fall in prices through midyear 2022 put a lot of biotech companies in a cash crunch. › Pricing is currently above pre-pandemic levels, demonstrating continued pricing growth. However, pricing is lagging the three-year average and significantly behind the linear trendline, leaving room in the market for price growth. › Public biotech revenue has ballooned to over $167 billion in 2022, with an impressive annual growth rate of 12%. › Commercial leaders dominate revenue and on average account for 83% of total annual revenue over the last 22 years. › In 2022, commercial leader revenue share increased to 89% with a YoY growth of 3%. Although emerging leaders have gained revenue share, growth dropped 20% YoY as smaller companies struggled.
