Biotech, short for biotechnology, refers to the use of biological systems to develop medical or industrial products. In the capital markets, biotech refers to companies engaged in the research of novel drugs, diagnostic methods, or therapeutic platforms. The industry is considered highly innovative but is heavily dependent on regulatory milestones. For investors, this sector offers both speculative and long-term investment opportunities, depending on the project stage and market environment.
Biotechnology is essential to many industries—especially healthcare. Demand is driven by demographic shifts, personalized medicine, and technological advancements.
Biotech investments offer high growth potential—especially in the case of successful clinical trials or acquisitions. At the same time, there is increased risk due to setbacks in drug development, high capital requirements, and regulatory hurdles. Careful selection is therefore essential.
How is the biotech market developing?
The biotech sector is recovering after a downturn in 2022/23 and is now benefiting from falling interest rates, takeover speculation, and advancements in key technologies such as mRNA and CRISPR.
Which companies are particularly interesting right now?
Especially compelling are small and mid-cap companies with Phase 2/3 clinical trials, strong cash reserves, and diversified pipelines. Potential buyout candidates are also drawing increased attention from institutional investors.
Which external factors influence supply and demand?
Regulatory authorities (FDA, EMA), health policy, interest rates, and access to capital markets have a direct impact on biotech companies and their valuations.
Is biotech a long-term investment theme?
Yes—structural trends such as demographic change and new technologies make biotech a future-relevant sector. However, investors should actively manage the associated risks.
