Therapeutic Vaccines: The Global Market (BIO052B)

BCC’s goal in conducting this study was to determine the current status of the therapeutic vaccines industry and assess its growth potential over a 5-year period from 2010 to 2015. Only a handful of such therapeutics has entered clinical use as of the beginning of 2010. For each therapeutic vaccine on the market and almost all therapeutic vaccines in mid-to-late stages of development, we have examined where they stand in the drug development process, major challenges to their approval or market success, achievements and, where applicable, the projected market for each of these drugs through 2014.

We were particularly interested in up-and-coming therapeutic vaccines in phase II or III clinical trials. We identify the leading candidates for therapeutic vaccines by disease application and also vaccine technology. In some cases we discuss notable vaccines that failed in clinical testing.

Our key objective is to present a comprehensive analysis of the current therapeutic vaccines market and its future direction.

Global Market for Medical Lasers to Be Worth $4.8 Billion In 2014

According to a new technical market research report, MEDICAL LASERS: TECHNOLOGIES AND GLOBAL MARKETS (HLC072A) from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), the global market value for medical lasers was an estimated $2.3 billion in 2009, but is expected to increase to nearly $4.8 billion in 2014, for a 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.1%.

The largest segment of the market, therapeutic medical lasers, is expected to increase at a 5-year CAGR of 13.3%, from $2 billion in 2009 to more than $3.6 billion in 2014

The diagnostic segment is expected to reach a value of nearly $1.2 billion in 2014. The market in 2009 is estimated at $328 million. Thus, the 5-year CAGR is projected to be a healthy 28.9%.

Medical lasers make up a multibillion-dollar global industry. Lasers are used in a wide range of medical applications, from cosmetic procedures to diagnosis and therapy.

The global recession that started in 2008 has had a significant negative impact on the market for medical lasers. Much of the demand for medical lasers comes from elective procedures such as laser-assisted eye surgery, which many consumers are postponing as they tighten their belts in response to the recession.

The longer-term outlook for the medical laser market is much better. Indeed, demand may experience a “bump” as the recession ends and consumers who have postponed elective laser procedures during the recession decide to have them.

Meanwhile, medical laser technology is continuing to evolve. New laser sources with potential medical applications include fiber lasers, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and organic LEDs (OLEDs). Plastic foils as surface emitters could become important as irradiation sources in photo-dynamic therapy (PDT). Also, the spread of new laser applications such as nanosurgery, OCT, and sophisticated fluorescence microscopy will stimulate the growth of the market.

The overall goal of this study is to provide the reader with an understanding of the technological, economic, and regulatory forces that will influence the future size and structure of the market for medical lasers.

The report is intended especially for vendors of medical lasers, as well as government agencies, healthcare policy analysts, and others seeking to understand the medical applications of laser technologies. Although the report focuses on specific technologies, it is largely non-technical in nature. As such, the report’s main audience is executive management, marketing, and financial analysts.

Biopesticides: The Global Market

With the increased environmental awareness and the pollution potential and health hazards from many conventional pesticides, the demand for nature-based biopesticides has been rising steadily in all parts of the world.

This study examines the worldwide commercial applications of biopesticides and their markets and growth opportunities. This study also looks into the extent of market penetration of a number of biopesticides that have been recently introduced.


This study gives a clear, quantitative picture of the supply and demand scenario and highlights the technological and investment opportunities in the field.

Light-Emitting Diodes For Lighting Applications

The global market for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is an estimated $5.4 billion in 2009, but is expected to increase to $8.2 billion in 2014, for a 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%.

The second-largest segment of the market, display backlighting, is expected to reach nearly $1.6 billion in 2014, after increasing at a CAGR of 11.1% from the estimated 2009 value of $933 million.

The automotive segment is estimated to be worth nearly $267 million in 2009, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.5% to reach more than $1.3 billion in 2014.

General illumination is the fastest-growing segment, with a 5-year CAGR of 16.4%. Its value is estimated at nearly $565 million in 2009 and is expected to grow to $1.2 billion in 2014.

A solid-state lighting initiative has been in place for 10 years and is targeted at replacing traditional lighting products, such as bulbs, with LEDs. BCC Research provides a comprehensive analysis of the progress to date and its overall market potential.

High-brightness light-emitting diodes operate much more efficiently than traditional light bulb products. They use a fraction of the power needed for bulb technology, have much longer operating lifetimes, and contain no substances that will harm the environment. Different material structures are used to fabricate these devices, and their fabrication methods are unique.

This study will be of interest to those in the photonics industry, manufacturers of solid-state devices, microelectronic manufacturers, those involved with automotive and transportation lighting systems, makers of mobile devices, traffic planners, municipal administrators, and those involved with general illumination in homes, offices, and industrial locations. The report also will be of interest to home designers, builders, and companies engaged in the manufacture of deposition equipment.
