Summary

Dataset from the bioscience and health technology sector database. The data relates to companies that are active in the UK in the life sciences sectors. These sectors are: Pre- 2015: medical technology medical biotechnology industrial biotechnology pharmaceutical 2015 onwards: medical technology bio-pharmaceuticals The latest report (2018) has been classified as an Official Statistic and is compliant with the Code of Practice for Statistics. 15 September 2021 We have identified several minor errors in the Bioscience and Health Technology Sector Statistics published on the 20 August 2020. Details of these errors (which have been corrected) are as follows. Section 2 – Sector overviews: Several sector breakdowns provide the number of ‘businesses’ in a segment but labelled these as the number of ‘sites’ in the original publication. These errors have been corrected on pages 11, 12 and 13. Section 4 – Digital health & genomics: Overall genomics related activity in the UK is located in 60 sites (previously quoted as 50 on pages 19 and 20). Life Sciences Infographic: The ‘Industry Characteristics’ section states that the top 25 Biopharmaceutical companies and top 30 Medical technology companies globally are responsible for 24% of employment and 37% or turnover in the UK Life Sciences sector. These were quoted as 22% or employment and 35% of turnover in the original publication. We have altered our quality assurance framework to prevent a recurrence of these errors in the future and apologise for any issues they have caused our users.
