Market of products

The Orphan Drug Act of 1983 was passed to encourage die development and marketing of products used to treat rare diseases. The act defines a rare disease as a condition affecting fewer than 200,000 individuals in die United States. The National Organization of Rare Disorders reports that there are more tiian 6000 rare disorders that affect approximately 25 million individuals. Examples of rare disorders include Tourette s syndrome, ovarian cancer, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), Huntington s disease, and certain forms of leukemia... 

In the case of chiral molecules that are biologically active the desired activity almost always resides in only one of the enantiomers. The other enantiomer constitutes isomeric ballast that does not contribute towards the desired activity and may even exhibit unwanted side effects. Hence, there is a marked trend in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and flavours and fragrances towards the marketing of products as enantiomerically pure compounds. This, in turn, has generated a demand for economical methods for the synthesis of pure enantiomers (Sheldon, 1993a). 

The business of BioZone Laboratories concerns development, manufacturing, and marketing of products and technologies, such as drugs and preparations, cosmetics, and nutritional supplements. All product lines are supported by proprietary technologies, and research and development activities are considered to be of a core importance for the business. The IP estate is also available for commercialization, particularly in the prescription area, for which several drug delivery systems and a prescription version of Inflacin were developed. 

Recovery of costs by successful marketing of products is essential in order to maximise shareholder return. As R D costs continue to increase by between 8% and 11% per annum, and sales turnover increases by between 5% and 7% per annum, R D takes up an increasing proportion of the pharmaceutical budget, and for the largest pharmaceutical companies it is about 17% of turnover. 

Feedstocks and products Next (or perhaps first) we need to consider the markets of products and the availabihty of feedstocks. The prices of these depend sensitively on purity levels that can be tolerated. For the reactants these are usually determined by the effects of impurities as catalyst poisons and on product distributions. For products different markets demand specific impurities. AH byproducts and unused reactants must be disposed of, either sold, recycled into the reactor, or incinerated.

Increased environmental stewardship can lead to higher attention from institutional buyers and marketing of products. 

Despite the complexity of the chemical industry and its problems of raw materials, diversified output, and marketing of products, there are numerous aids to management planning via government statistics. Chemical statistics is a broad subject, but this paper presents brief comments on the types of statistics made available to the industry by the major chemical statistics collection agencies. At the end of this paper, a representative listing of publications of these agencies is presented. 

If by market research we mean simply a directed search for markets of products or services, such effort is as old as history and Eve and her apple represent the first, and perhaps simplest, case history. In this same sense, chemical market research has been going on as long as chemical products have been sold. Certainly no one would dare to claim that the early pioneers of the American chemical industry were unconcerned with the markets for their products, were not eager in their search for those markets, and were not, therefore, doing market research in this sense. 

Such regulations define producer responsibility in development, manufacturing and marketing of products designed to be recovered or disposed of in an environmentally compatible way. Responsibility for using secondary raw materials in the manufacture of products and for ensuring material collection, material identification, reuse and recovery is also covered. 

Within the disciplines of architecture and engineering, biomimetics is playing a more and more important role in research into lightweight constructions and technical surfaces. In the development of self-cleaning surfaces, fagade colours like Lotosan have been established in the market of products for the building industry [8-10].
