 Life Science Competitiveness Indicators

[Preface]
This report brings together in one place a set of competitiveness indicators covering a range of aspects of the life science environment in the UK and other countries. They are intended to give a broad understanding of the UK sector, and how it compares internationally.

The choice of these indicators was informed by Technical and Steering Groups made up of a range of life science sector stakeholders. These included representatives from trade associations, life science sector companies, research organisations, regulators and government bodies. Comparator countries have been ed on the basis of data availability, and advice from the Technical and Steering Groups as to the most appropriate comparators. In some instances where a comparison was considered desirable, it has not been possible as data for particular countries was not available or was not considered reliable.

There are a range of other UK specific data sources that were not used because internationally comparable data could not be identified. These limitations mean that, whilst this is the fullest picture we are currently able to provide, the set of indicators cannot be looked at in aggregate to provide an overall country ranking. Each indicator should be considered on its own merits and the caveats relating to data sources (which may be constantly updated) should be considered in each case. This report does not make any assessment of the relative importance of different factors for competitiveness, which is at least partly a subjective judgement.

For the most part, the data on which these indicators are based is drawn from already published data. Wherever possible a link is provided to the data, or to the publication from which the chart has been reproduced. In a few instances it has been necessary for data to be sourced commercially or obtained directly from the organisation holding it. In these cases the supplier is clearly credited against relevant charts. In cases where the data is from a proprietary source, we have not been able to reproduce the underlying data tables.

This is the first publication of these indicators. The intention is to further develop the indicator content and data sources for future publications.

We would like to thank all those who have contributed to these indicators, or supplied data for this publication.
