"Rare and Niche Diseases Catalyst Monitor - Key Event Analysis H1 2012" - New Market Report

New Pharmaceuticals market report from GlobalData: "Rare and Niche Diseases Catalyst Monitor - Key Event Analysis H1 2012"

 

Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/22/2012 -- GlobalData's new report, "Rare and Niche Diseases Catalyst Monitor - Key Event Analysis H1 2012" takes a look at rare and niche diseases, which are an area of intense interest in the global biopharmaceutical industry today. The passage of the Orphan Drug Act in the United States in 1983 was the initial impetus behind the development of products for these diseases. Since that time, similar legislation has been enacted in the UK, Europe, Japan, Singapore, and Australia. As a result of this global legislation, numerous products have been brought to market to treat diseases for which there were no existing therapies, saving countless lives worldwide. As biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies look for ways to reinvigorate their product pipelines, they are increasingly focusing on developing products for rare and niche diseases. The market for many of these diseases is virtually wide open and will continue to be a major driving force in the industry.
