It includes the following useful information for business planning: - Market Forecasts and Estimates of Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Costs - Vaccine Production Estimates - Trend Discussion - Production Methods - The Competitive Environment, including Contract Manufacturing and Outsourcing - Regulation of the Market - Company Profiles The report contains production segmentations for the mammalian cell, microbial cell, monoclonal antibody, other recombinant protein, vaccine, and insulin manufacturing markets, with forecasts to 2018.
