TECH-POWERED WAR ON AMR
The consistent increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is threatening to undo many of the gains of modern medicine. The situation is particularly alarming in the Asia Pacific region, which could witness around 50 per cent of global annual AMR-related mortality by 2050. Around 62 per cent of antibiotics in the region are used without prescriptions, indicating inappropriate usage and significantly increasing
the risk of AMR strain emergence, according to a report from LEK Consulting Group. All this makes the region an epicentre of AMR and its consequences. In response to the growing threat, countries in the region have taken steps to tackle the AMR threat. These include a National Action Plan on AMR (NAP-AMR), antimicrobial stewardship efforts, diagnostics surveillance etc. However, the million-dollar
question is whether these steps will be effective and enough. Let’s find out.

Ending the AMR Cycle

According to the World Health Organisation's (WHO) annual review of antibacterial agents in clinical and preclinical development, the R&D pipeline for new antibacterial medicines is insufficient to tackle the challenge of increasing emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance. Furthermore, the availability and access to new and existing antibiotics, including generics, is a challenge for countries of all income levels. The Global Leaders Group on AMR recently reiterated that the world faces a serious antibiotic pipeline and access crisis that requires innovative financing measures.

Breaking Biotech M&A out of a Slump

Biotech mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have stagnated in recent times. The last big deal was in 2019 when American drug major Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) acquired US-based Celgene for $74 billion. After a relatively unremarkable 2022 for biotech M&A, 2023 started with a flurry of billion-dollar acquisitions both globally and in the Asia-Pacific region. The latest examples include Astellas Pharma, a Japan-based company, acquiring American firm Iveric Bio for $4 billion in April 2023, and American pharmaceutical giant Pfizer proposing a $43 billion acquisition of US-based Seagen in March 2023. This surge of activity indicates an accelerating M&A landscape in the biotech industry. Let’s explore the industry’s expanding M&A landscape.
