2014 a landmark year for antisense RNAi therapeutics deals; Report
The deals market for antisense RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics witnessed a record year in 2014, with a total value of almost $5.6 billion across 59 transactions, by far the largest deal value ever seen in this space, a new report shows.
According to research and consulting firm GlobalData, this figure is almost triple that of the previous year, with just over $1.9 billion raised from 62 deals in 2013, and almost double the previous high of approximately $2.9 billion from 58 transactions in 2010.
Adam Dion, senior industry analyst for GlobalData, says three mergers and acquisitions worth $1.2 billion, as well as record highs for licensing and capital raisings, helped to fuel deals in 2014.
