Kalorama has been researching and examining the development of cancer vaccines for seven years. In April 2010, the cancer vaccine market experienced one of the biggest achievements in the therapeutic vaccine treatment of cancer—the approval of the prostate cancer vaccine PROVENGE (TM). This, in addition to the success of cervical cancer vaccine products, has created a viable market for what was merely a speculative area just one decade ago.
Even with achievements for some companies, numerous vaccines with apparently strong prospects have been hit by developmental delays and failures. These include CancerVax’s Canvaxin, Aphton’s Insegia, Progenics’ GMK vaccine, and Biomira’s Theratope. Despite setbacks many developers are hopeful of a turnaround. With a couple prophylactic vaccines for cervical cancer on the market, a few select therapeutic vaccine approvals and several therapeutic vaccines on a promising path to commercialization, the market could see a surge of regulatory activity and an influx of market opportunities.
This Kalorama Information report – Emerging Cancer Vaccines: Forecasts, Developments and Pipeline Analysis – focuses on both preventive and therapeutic cancer vaccines in development. The following cancers for which there are vaccines in development or where there is a potential are profiled:
  • Cervical
  • Colon/Rectal
  • Lung
  • Lymphoma
  • Melanoma
  • Prostate
  • Breast
  • Gastrointestinal
  • Renal
  • Brain
  • Bladder
  • Ovarian
  • Leukemia
The report includes statistical information for cancers by type worldwide, with special emphasis on the U.S. market. Specifically, cancers where there is current vaccines development are profiled. Each market segment provides an overview, descriptions of products available or in development, market estimates and forecasts for 2010-2015, and competitive analysis of leading developers for 2015.
The report also includes current issues and trends affecting the industry.
This area of medicine is a new frontier and many of the issues that face the cancer vaccine market are novel. However, this is a very promising area of medicine, which will continue to assist in the fight against cancer.
Issues and trends discussed in The Emerging Cancer Vaccine Market include:
  • Early Detection and Screening
  • Monoclonal Antibodies and Therapeutic Vaccines
  • Safety Concerns
  • Insurance and Reimbursement Issues
  • Personalized Medicine
  • Pharmacogenomics
  • Vaccine Strategies
  • Economic Conditions and Vaccine Discovery
The information for this report was gathered using both primary and secondary research including comprehensive research of secondary sources such as company literature, databases, investment reports, and medical and business journals. Telephone interviews and email correspondence were the primary method of gathering information.
For the purpose of this study Kalorama Information conducted interviews with key industry officials, consultants, health care providers, and government personnel. These sources were the primary basis in gathering information specifically relating to revenue and market share data presented in this report. Specific interviews with pharmaceutical company representatives included marketing directors, division managers, and development representatives.
All market data pertains to the world market at the manufacturers’ level. The years outlined in this study include projected markets for 2010 thru 2015. Compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) are provided for the 2010-2015 for each vaccine segment covered. Competitive analysis is provided for the year 2015 for the developing and emerging market. The projected competitive analysis for 2015 was based on products in late stage development, probability of approval and marketing, and demographic trends.
Several companies have promising research and development activities for cancer vaccines. Additionally, many companies are in early stage development with a focused effort on providing favorable results in treating cancer. Many of these companies are:
  • Accentia
  • Antigenics
  • AVAX
  • Dendreon
  • GlaxoSmithKline

China Food and Drink Report Q4 2010

Business Monitor International
Food and Beverages
The long-term outlook for China’s food and drink sector remains strong, as reflected in the continued international interest and investments in the sector. However, the shorter-term outlook is less positive due to brewing economic difficulties. We believe that cracks are beginning to appear in the Chinese economy, which should grow in magnitude over the coming months. Inflation is heading higher and economic activity growth is heading lower, strengthening our case for a slowdown in economic activity in China as monetary policy is tightened further. We expect Chinese overheating to lead to a secondary slowdown in 2011, and are forecasting real GDP growth of 7.5% in 2011, with growth to remain around this level thereafter over the medium term, slowing industry growth.

Headline Industry Data
  • 2010 per capita food consumption = +11.9%; forecast to 2014 = +54.1%
  • 2010 beer volume sales = +13.7%; forecast to 2014 = +74.9%
  • 2010 soft drink sales = +12%; forecast to 2014 = +65.4%
  • 2010 mass grocery retail sales = +12%; forecast to 2014 = +64.2%
Key Company Trends

Soft Drinks Investments – Foreign investments continue to poor into China’s soft drinks industry, fuelling
the sector’s bullish growth. In May 2010 US soft drinks behemoth PepsiCo unveiled a US$2.5bn threeyear spending plan for the Chinese beverage market following the completion of its US$1bn two-year China investment package, due to finish later this year. With its latest investment package, PepsiCo will look to fully exploit the country’s vast opportunities while minimising the risks to which it is exposed. As well as expanding its soft drink and snack food production capacity, the company will also invest heavily in agricultural development, thus securing a degree of valuable control over its supply chain. PepsiCo will also invest in the development of beverages specifically designed for local tastes.

Retail Acquisitions – In July 2010 retail giant Carrefour was successful in acquiring a controlling 51% stake in Hebei-based hypermarket operator Baolongcang for an undisclosed sum. With the acquisition of Baolongcang coinciding with Carrefour's 159th Chinese hypermarket opening, the company clearly retains every intention of maintaining its position as the country's dominant international retailer. As is usually the case when a store networks come up for sale, competition for the Baolongcang network was fierce, with Vanguard, the grocery retail operation of Hong Kong-listed China Resources Enterprises, local firm WuMart and South Korea's Lotte Shopping, all believed to be in the running for the acquisition. Such attention for a single province retailer with just 11 stores speaks volumes about Chinese MGR’s long-term potential.

Key Risks to Outlook


Double-Dip Ahead? – BMI expects a secondary slowdown in the Chinese economy, coupled with elevated risks of a bursting of the country's property bubble. In addition, brewing inflationary pressures could weigh on Chinese consumption as shoppers tighten their purse strings and restrict spending on consumer goods. Over the medium term, we are looking at a slight erosion of China's export competitiveness as a stronger yuan and increasing wage pressures take effect.

Food Safety Still A Concern – The local food and beverage industry continues to be plagued by problems such as poor food hygiene, and inferior safety standards. Over this past quarter alone, there were several incidents of authorities seizing large quantities of milk powder laced with melamine.
