A Brighter Decade Ahead for Biotech - In-Depth Research Featuring GlaxoSmithKline and NPS Pharmaceuticals

Today, www.WorldStreetFundamentals.com released its industry report highlighting GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK) and NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:NPSP). Full fundamental and technical analysis is available at www.WorldStreetFundamentals.com/Reports.php. The global pharmaceutical market is expected to experience wide changes, with trends growing towards the Asia-Pacific region. A favorable regulatory environment has started to emerge in India, China, Malaysia, South Korea and Indonesia; drawing the attention of larger API product providers. This new competition within an already fast-paced economy has closed the gap between product cost and disposable income of consumers- a change that is expected to drive long-term growth within the global marketplace.

Global pharmaceutical market sales are expected to grow at a 4 - 7% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2013, largely driven via growing access to health-care in emerging economic regions. Short-term growth within the sector will be fueled by the US market, as it remains the largest pharmaceutical market in the world. A large focus on R&D in biotechnology, special drugs and generic drugs will remain a strong catalyst to meet 2011 targets of $315 billion Dollar in sales volume within the United States alone. World Street Fundamentals has highlighted GlaxoSmithKline for its recent FDA approval of Horizant (gabapentin enacarbil) Extended-Release Tablets for the treatment of moderate-to-severe primary Restless Legs Syndrome in adults. It is the first medication in its class to be approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe primary Restless Legs Syndrome. Discovered and developed by XenoPort, Horizant is a new chemical entity that utilizes the body's nutrient transport mechanisms that are believed to facilitate its absorption into the body.
