IMS Health, a leading research and analytical firm serving the pharmaceutical and medical industries, projects an increase in worldwide biotech growth in 2011 of between 5 and 7 percent, with a similar outlook stretching out to 2015. Emerging markets such as China, India, and Brazil are expected to contribute significantly to this growth. Sales growth of 15 percent is forecast in emerging markets, many of which are benefitting from increased government spending on healthcare and broader private health coverage for workers.
