Oral Proteins and Peptides Market, 2015 - 2025
M2 - Wed Feb 18, 6:00AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/g33dxb/oral_proteins_and) has announced the addition of the "Oral Proteins and Peptides Market, 2015 - 2025" report to their offering. The Oral Proteins and Peptides Market (2nd edition), 2015-2025 report provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the market and the likely future evolution over the next ten years. Endogenous peptides are a smart way to utilise body's own resources to design drugs that are more specific and carry great potential to cure hard-to-treat diseases. The protein and peptide therapeutics market is a multi-billion dollar market and researchers are trying their best to improve the therapy by devising strategies for their oral delivery. The report portrays efforts of various pharmaceutical companies in making the transition towards oral delivery by developing innovative technologies and testing multiple drug candidates based on these technologies. A vast amount of activity is happening in this area as seen by the myriad of discoveries, patents, collaborations and grants. Highlights: - The market is characterized by the presence of 76 molecules in different phases of development.Four molecules are in the late stage clinical trials (phase III); of these, Oral Octreolin, Ostora and Plecanatide are likely to be made commercially available in 2016. - Diabetes stands out among the indication groups for which various molecules are in investigational studies. Nearly 37% of the total molecules under research are being developed for diabetic disorders. Other prominent areas include gastric disorders andbone diseases. - The market is not dominated by the presence of a big company or a group of companies. Several start-ups have led research efforts by developing the technologies that facilitate oral formulation of proteins and peptides. - Prominent technologies include Axcess, GIPET, Peptelligence and Disulfide Rich Peptides; a number of oral proteins and peptides are based on one of these technologies. - One of the primary drivers for growth in the industry is the rising venture capital interest and available funding from other avenues. In total, over the last 10 years, we identified total investment of close to USD 0.9 billion. - The current crop of oral proteins and peptides is likely to benefit from early success of Linzess; combined, we expect it to be a multi-billion dollar market growing at an annualised rate of 30% over the coming decade.

Medical Coatings (Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic coatings) Market - Regional Trends & Forecast to 2019
M2 - Mon Feb 16, 6:47AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nhzhtk/medical_coatings) has announced the addition of the "Medical Coatings Market by Type, Application and Geography - Regional Trends & Forecast to 2019" report to their offering. The medical coatings market was estimated around $9.1 billion in 2013, with the high share of around 70% held by North America and Europe together. The global medical coatings market by value is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2014 to 2019. The high growth is forecasted to be in the Asia-Pacific due to rise of medical device manufacturing in the region. Europe is estimated to have the second highest growth around 6.37% from 2014 to 2019. Advancements in medical device designing have led to improvement of existing medical devices as well as introduction of new technologies. These devices are made of metals such as stainless steel, aluminum or ceramic such as bioglass or alumina. Not all these materials are compatible when in contact with tissues and body fluids and can cause complications, for instance, infection and blood clots. Coatings help to remove these difficulties. Some coatings help to make the device biocompatible while others help to prevent microbial infections. It may also be hydrophilic or hydrophobic according to the requirement. Coatings also help to reduce static and kinetic friction between two different surfaces. Based on properties, medical coatings can be broadly classified into hydrophilic and hydrophobic coatings. However, there are other types of coatings such as antimicrobial, protective, optical, lubricious, pharmacological and so. The most commonly used chemistries in coatings are parylene, silicones, and fluoropolymers.

Oral Proteins and Peptides Market, 2015 - 2025
M2 - Wed Feb 18, 6:00AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/g33dxb/oral_proteins_and) has announced the addition of the "Oral Proteins and Peptides Market, 2015 - 2025" report to their offering. The Oral Proteins and Peptides Market (2nd edition), 2015-2025 report provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the market and the likely future evolution over the next ten years. Endogenous peptides are a smart way to utilise body's own resources to design drugs that are more specific and carry great potential to cure hard-to-treat diseases. The protein and peptide therapeutics market is a multi-billion dollar market and researchers are trying their best to improve the therapy by devising strategies for their oral delivery. The report portrays efforts of various pharmaceutical companies in making the transition towards oral delivery by developing innovative technologies and testing multiple drug candidates based on these technologies. A vast amount of activity is happening in this area as seen by the myriad of discoveries, patents, collaborations and grants. Highlights: - The market is characterized by the presence of 76 molecules in different phases of development.Four molecules are in the late stage clinical trials (phase III); of these, Oral Octreolin, Ostora and Plecanatide are likely to be made commercially available in 2016. - Diabetes stands out among the indication groups for which various molecules are in investigational studies. Nearly 37% of the total molecules under research are being developed for diabetic disorders. Other prominent areas include gastric disorders andbone diseases. - The market is not dominated by the presence of a big company or a group of companies. Several start-ups have led research efforts by developing the technologies that facilitate oral formulation of proteins and peptides. - Prominent technologies include Axcess, GIPET, Peptelligence and Disulfide Rich Peptides; a number of oral proteins and peptides are based on one of these technologies. - One of the primary drivers for growth in the industry is the rising venture capital interest and available funding from other avenues. In total, over the last 10 years, we identified total investment of close to USD 0.9 billion. - The current crop of oral proteins and peptides is likely to benefit from early success of Linzess; combined, we expect it to be a multi-billion dollar market growing at an annualised rate of 30% over the coming decade.

Medical Coatings (Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic coatings) Market - Regional Trends & Forecast to 2019
M2 - Mon Feb 16, 6:47AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nhzhtk/medical_coatings) has announced the addition of the "Medical Coatings Market by Type, Application and Geography - Regional Trends & Forecast to 2019" report to their offering. The medical coatings market was estimated around $9.1 billion in 2013, with the high share of around 70% held by North America and Europe together. The global medical coatings market by value is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2014 to 2019. The high growth is forecasted to be in the Asia-Pacific due to rise of medical device manufacturing in the region. Europe is estimated to have the second highest growth around 6.37% from 2014 to 2019. Advancements in medical device designing have led to improvement of existing medical devices as well as introduction of new technologies. These devices are made of metals such as stainless steel, aluminum or ceramic such as bioglass or alumina. Not all these materials are compatible when in contact with tissues and body fluids and can cause complications, for instance, infection and blood clots. Coatings help to remove these difficulties. Some coatings help to make the device biocompatible while others help to prevent microbial infections. It may also be hydrophilic or hydrophobic according to the requirement. Coatings also help to reduce static and kinetic friction between two different surfaces. Based on properties, medical coatings can be broadly classified into hydrophilic and hydrophobic coatings. However, there are other types of coatings such as antimicrobial, protective, optical, lubricious, pharmacological and so. The most commonly used chemistries in coatings are parylene, silicones, and fluoropolymers.
