Biotech companies around the world employ scientists and physicians to study the causes of diseases. The research and development of medical products and solutions usually involves a large number of tests and takes a correspondingly long time. The longer and more extensive this process is, the more capital these companies require from investors. In the race to bring to market preparations or products that improve people's well-being or fulfill desires, the providers of solutions usually have great sales potential and investors may be bought out through a takeover.

    Healthcare costs are a pressing political issue worldwide - in Germany, for example, debates are resurfacing over co-payments and the requirement to see a general practitioner first. This drives more people to self-medicate.
