SNSS Sunesis Pharmaceuticals Inc

Biotech companies have not been impervious to the economic downturn, but they have endured better than most. This is due in part to the fact that demand for pharmaceuticals remains fairly constant even during recession. As 2011 kicks off there is plenty of optimism regarding the Biotech Industry as firmer pricing and new products have improved sales and earnings trends. Moreover -- similar to last year -- Merger & Acquisition activity is likely to play a large part throughout the sector. The Bedford Report examines the outlook for companies in the Biotechnology Industry and provides research reports on Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNSS) and AEterna Zentaris, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEZS). Access to the full company reports can be found at:

The healthcare industry research firm IMS Health projects an increase in worldwide growth in 2011. The firm forecasts 5% to 7% versus a pace of 4% to 5% in 2010. The firm has a meager growth outlook until at least 2015.

Much of the growth is expected to come from emerging markets such as China, Brazil, India and South Korea. These countries are benefiting from increased government spending on health care and more extensive private health coverage for workers. IMS predicts sales growth of 15% in these markets.
