The growing prevalence of conditions such as hepatitis B, diabetes, and cancer is fueling biotechnology research. Biotechnology utilizes research tools from biology and chemistry to examine the genetic material of bacteria and viruses to identify disease-causing agents. Among biopharma companies, oncology research stands out as the most significant focus. Advances in medical applications include stem cell treatments utilizing monoclonal antibodies and genome sequencing. For example, in June 2024, the National Health Service (NHS), a UK-based government department, reported that in 2023, it identified over half a million (549,000) additional individuals in England at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, raising the total number of people with non-diabetic hyperglycemia, or pre-diabetes, registered with a general practitioner (GP) to 3,615,330. This marks a notable increase from 3,065,825 in 2022, reflecting a rise of nearly 20%. Additionally, in February 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, projected that by 2050, there would be over 35 million new cancer cases, representing a 77% increase compared to an estimated 20 million cases in 2022. Consequently, the rising prevalence of diseases and significant investments in R&D are expected to drive growth in the biotechnology services market.

Key companies within the biotechnology services market are dedicated to pioneering innovative therapies, such as biomarker algorithms for the primary treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Biomarker algorithms encompass mathematical or computational models integrating data from multiple biological indicators to provide comprehensive assessments of specific medical conditions. For instance, in April 2023, Strata Oncology Inc., a US-based precision oncology company, introduced Strata Select - a groundbreaking molecular profiling test for advanced cancer patients. Noteworthy for being the first immunotherapy biomarker algorithm covered by Medicare across solid tumors, Strata Select empowers oncologists to make more informed treatment decisions, thereby enhancing patient outcomes.

In December 2023, Eli Lilly and Company, a US-based pharmaceutical firm, acquired POINT Biopharma Global Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition aims to enhance Lilly's oncology expertise, particularly in advanced radioligand therapies designed to treat various forms of cancer. POINT Biopharma Global Inc. is a US-based biotechnology company recognized for its innovative methods in cancer treatment.
