Biologies market size

Facility design is also an important consideration in process design and scale-up. An important observation to be made up-front is that the market size for biologies bears little correlation with the size or volume of production (Table 4). 

Absent of outside factors, a pharmaceutical company typically addresses diseases affecting large numbers of patients. The size of the market is estimated based on studies of demographic and medical information. Once a disease with a favorable market has been selected, the decision is passed along to the molecular biology team.
