5 /STATE OF THE SECTOR | MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES AND PHARMACEUTICALS

Ministers’ ForewordWe are pleased to present the Victorian Government’s first State of the Sector overview for medical technologies and pharmaceuticals. Medical technologies and pharmaceuticals is a growth sector vital to the future economic prosperity of Victoria and a source of employment for Victorians.

Innovation is critical to developing new sources of growth through creation of new businesses, new jobs and increased productivity. The medical technologies and pharmaceuticals sector provides Victoria with a springboard for innovation-based opportunities.

Since the release of the Victorian Government’s Medical Technologies and Pharmaceuticals Sector Strategy, we have provided key support to industry and manufacturing through the Future Industries Fund. This has included funding for BioCurate and the Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre to accelerate the development and commercialisation of new medicines, and further boost Victoria's pharmaceutical manufacturing capability. It has also included provision of grants to a range of Victorian medtech and pharmaceutical manufacturers such as Medical Developments International, Komipharm and DorsaVi. We have also commissioned the first comprehensive analysis of this important sector, culminating in this report.

Australia is one of the world’s leading locations for the development and manufacture of medical technologies, biotechnologies and pharmaceuticals.

Victoria is at the epicentre of this dynamic sector, employing more than 23,000 people, and generating over $12.7 billion in revenue. The sector contributes over $1.35 billion in exports to the Victorian economy, a figure which has doubled since 2011.

Melbourne has a reputation as the leading hub for Australia’s medical technologies industry. The biomedical engineering expertise in the State builds on a long tradition in automotive, aerospace and general manufacturing expertise and is enhanced by significant capabilities in advanced, additive and bio-manufacturing.

With global health care spending projected to grow by over four per cent per year, there is an urgent need for new technologies, goods and services that will improve patient care. This is an enormous and continued economic opportunity for Victoria.

This State of the Sector report demonstrates that the sector’s economic impact is significant and positive. This publication provides us with a better understanding of how the sector is growing and will enable the Victorian Government and the sector to measure our efforts and better understand where we need to direct our energy. Continuing to grow the medical technologies and pharmaceuticals sector will create rewarding, high value, secure jobs for Victorians and help us play a key role in improving health and wellbeing worldwide.

Introduction

This report brings together four sources of data:

• an analysis of the economic impact of the medtech and pharmaceuticals sector on the Victoria economy, conducted by the Centre for Transformative Innovation (CTI) at Swinburne University, utilising BLADE data1;

• annual survey data, compiled by Blake Industry and Market Analysis Pty. Ltd.;

• market capitalisation information, sourced from the ASX; and

• export commodity trade data, sourced from the IHS Global Trade Atlas.

This publication provides a summary of the results of these reports, together with proprietary government department data as appropriate. Notes on the methodology can be found at the end of this report.

1 Determining the economic impact of the sector is made possible by the Australian Bureau of Statistics Business Longitudinal Data Environment (BLADE). This database is the only comprehensive data of financial operations of every business in Australia and is based on annual business tax file records and survey data. The measure of economic impact, total value added, is calculated by aggregating across all firms in the sector

2 Statistic from the IHI Global Trade Atlas

Describing and defining the sector For the purposes of this report the sector is defined as firms engaged in the following activities:

1. Pharmaceutical manufacturing and development

2. Life science and biotechnology manufacturing and development

3. Medical technology manufacturing and development

4. Vitamins, supplements and topical product manufacturing and development

5. Service providers – contract research organisations, clinical trial providers, etc.

The sector can be defined as firms that are interconnected and that have shared success factors, supporting industries, infrastructure or labour markets. A representative sector supply chain is depicted in blue in Figure 1.

Firms active in the sector in Victoria may be involved in activities from basic science through to wholesale trade. Firms in the sector perform activities across a range of industry sectors defined in the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industry Classifications or ANZSIC codes.3 Please note that relevant activity undertaken in universities and hospitals was excluded from the analysis.4

3 It is not possible to directly use industry level statistics on economic activity collected by the ABS. This is because the sector comprises incomplete parts of several ANZSICs. To measure the impact of the Sector on the Victorian economy, a comprehensive list of relevant active firms was developed.

4 The main reason for excluding universities and hospitals is that it is not possible to separately identify sector relevant activities from the main activities of these organisations (education and health care) which are not part of the sector.

Size and location of the sectorThe medical technologies and pharmaceuticals sector is largely located in the Melbourne Metropolitan area – 84 per cent of total businesses. There are a large numbers of businesses in the East, South East and CBD, with growing numbers in the West. While the sector is located primarily in greater Melbourne, there are some firms that are located in regional areas, mainly Geelong.

Notably, there are geographical clusters of medical technologies and pharmaceuticals sector firms. These clusters are around the inner metropolitan region, the Clayton and Monash University precinct, the Ringwood/Bayswater area, and the Dandenong/Mulgrave manufacturing precinct, see Figure 2.

The economic impact of the sector

Direct impact/revenueRevenue, operating expenses and value-added for financial years 2013-14 are depicted in Figure 3. These show sector revenue of around $12.7 billion, with an average salary of $74,000 per annum. Operating expenses of $10.5 billion were reported, resulting in total value add to the Victorian economy of nearly $2.2 billion.6

RevenueAccording to Blake, revenue from Victorian companies increased 20.7 per cent in 2015, to approximately $12 billion, see Figure 4. This is broadly consistent with the findings from the Centre for Transformative Innovation.

6 Value added is equal to turnover net of intermediate inputs. This is consistent with the approach for calculating GDP or Gross State Product (GSP).

ExportsThe sector contributed over $1.35 billion in exports over 2013-14. This is a measure of goods exports only, not licensing, services, IP etc. (Centre for Transformative Innovation). This accounted for just over 3.5 per cent of a Victorian total of $24 billion over the same period.

EXPORT DATA (LONGITUDINAL, AND BY MARKET)

2016 figures indicate that there has been a significant improvement in export figures, driven mainly by growth in pharma sales see Figure 5. The majority of exports go to the USA and Europe. See Figure 6.

Supply chain effectsThe sector also contributes to aggregate demand in sectors that supply intermediate inputs. The CTI Report estimates that the Sector contributes $6.9 billion in upstream demand to other sectors in the Victorian economy.

The detailed breakdown of the distribution of sources of intermediate inputs is presented in Figure 7. Supplying industries are aggregated to the ANZSIC Division level. Transport, Postal and Warehousing is the largest supplying industry group to the sector, supplying nearly $1.5 billion of intermediate inputs. Rental, Hiring and Real Estate Services ($1.2 billion) and Manufacturing ($0.99 billion) are the next largest contributors.7

7 Nearly one fifth of the sectors’ operating expenditure falls under the category Within Sector. This group captures the expenditure on intermediate inputs by the sector from within the sector. Inputs purchased by other firms in the Sector will be reflected in the supplying firm turnover. Therefore, this economic impact has already been captured in the value added measure.

VICTORIAN ASX LISTED COMPANIES AND MARKET CAP

36 listed Victorian companies had a market capitalisation at June 30, 2015 of $43.9 billion (up from $39.0 billion in 2014). The number of Victorian life science companies listed on the ASX has fallen since 2008-9 and has remained static since 2011, see Figure 11.

Note that when Sigma Pharmaceuticals Limited and CSL are excluded from the data, market capitalisation has fallen significantly, since 2011, see Figure 12. This is largely as a result of lower investment capital after the Global Financial Crisis.

Pre-clinical and clinical assets in Victoria

ASSETS BY THERAPEUTIC AREA

Victoria’s strengths in therapeutic development lie in the oncology, infection and immunity and cardiovascular disease areas, see Figure 15.10 Therapeutic areas covered in "other" include endocrinology and regenerative medicine, as well as orphan diseases.

ASSETS: MEDTECH VS DRUG DEVELOPMENT

The majority of clinical assets in development are in pharmaceuticals as opposed to medical devices. This is consistent with the relevant size of the sectors, see Figure 16.11

Notes on methodology

The variety of sources utilised to produce the report is indicative of the difficulty of assembling the correct set of metrics for assessing the size and economic impact of the sector. In addition, the data sources cover different time points. In 2016, the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (DEDJTR) commissioned the Centre for Transformative Innovation (CTI) at Swinburne University to analyse the impact of the medtech and pharmaceuticals sector on the Victorian economy.

The CTI Report12 utilised a novel new methodology, drawing on de-identified firm-level financial data from Business Activity Statements (BAS) collected by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and made available by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), as the BLADE dataset, the most recent data available for analysis relates to financial year 2013-14.13

12 Centre for Transformative Innovation (February, 2017), Economic Impact Analysis – Victorian Medical Technologies & Pharmaceuticals Sector.

13 Due to a lag in availability, the data is from 2013-14

The sector does not fit one single standard industrial classification. It was therefore not possible to evaluate the complete size of the sector using detailed “off-the-shelf” statistics published by the ABS. To measure the impact of the sector, the CTI identified 651 firms with relevant activities in the sector.14 The economic impact of the sector was then measured by aggregating the activity of these firms.15

To enable a more complete picture of the economic impact of the sector on the Victorian economy, DEDJTR also commissioned Blake Industry & Market Analysis Pty Ltd (“Blake”) to furnish a complementary and commercial in confidence report for FY201516 using a different methodology and providing a greater focus on the various companies in the sector. Over 200 businesses in the sector were surveyed and additional information was retrieved through publicly available documents, including company reports, news articles and regulatory filings, as well as financial analysis metrics. In addition, export data has been sourced from the IHS Global Trade Atlas.17

14 A complete list of the firms included in the analysis is included in Appendix A of the CTI Report.

15 The main caveat to the measured direct impact is that operations in Victoria of firms that are based in other states have not been included. Similarly, no adjustment was made for any possible economic activity outside Victoria by Victorian firms. This means the estimates of economic impact presented are conservative.
