Biopharma Innovation

0%

Unsurprisingly, anti-obesity medication has captured the attention of the world, with a clear majority, 36%, of our respondents selecting it as the area of innovation within Biopharma that is expected to have the biggest impact. The appetite is more pronounced across both Institutional Investors (42%) and Private Equity (44%) than Corporates (33%). 

Target therapies and artificial intelligence have both seen a considerable drop in interest.  Just 16% of respondents expect target therapies to have the biggest impact, down from the 35% of respondents who selected this last year. While 20% of respondents believed A.I. would have the biggest impact within Biopharma last year, just 8% thought so this year.
