Overview

White bio-technology is widely used in manufacture of bio-fuels, bio-materials, and bio-chemicals. Examples of bio-chemicals include levulenic acid, butanediol, succinic acid, acrylic acid, and lactic acid. Generally, bio-fuels are prepared from carbohydrates of starch and sugar crops. Some of the bio-materials are bio-plastics and bio-polymers.

Statistics

By 2027, the global white biotechnology market is forecasted to have a market capital of US$ 299.9 billion.

Drivers

Rising adoption of bio-materials in the healthcare industry is expected to stimulate growth of the global white biotechnology market during the forecast period. In October 2019, German researchers from Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, had reported that marine bio-materials which are pre-fabricated naturally, can help in preparing a new sponge chitin-based absorbable hemostats as a substitute for cellulose-based fabrics.

Opportunities

Rising demand for organic food across the globe is expected to provide robust growth opportunities for companies operating in the global white biotechnology market. As per the Organic Industry Survey done by the Organic Trade Association, in 2018, the sales of organic food had increased by 5.9% to attain about US$ 47.9 billion in the U.S., and these sales accounted for 5.7% of overall food sales, a 2.3% hike from 2017.

Restraints

High cost associated with bio-products as compared to traditional products is expected to obstruct growth of the global white biotechnology market. Polyactic acid can be priced about 20 to 50% more than the traditional materials. Higher cost of bio-products is due to its complex production.

Tara Cameron.

When Tara Cameron decided she wanted to transition from her career as a certified nursing assistant into a new position in the medical field, she turned to colleagues and friends. Overwhelmingly, they recommended she check out Wake Techs BioWork certificate program.

Today, her career looks different than it did 20 years ago, but as a downstream, or purification, technician at FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies in Morrisville, she has stayed true to her healthcare roots.

Working with my elderly residents day-to-day, I saw the importance of medicine in their lives, said Cameron. When I decided to change careers, I knew I wanted to stay in healthcare. My friends and colleagues talked a lot about the programs at Wake Tech, which is where I learned about the BioWork program and jobs in biomanufacturing.

The BioWork certificate is earned through a 12-week program offered at 11 community colleges across the state. The program teaches students the foundational skills for a career as a process technician for biotechnology, pharmaceutical or chemical manufacturing companies.

The part of the program Cameron enjoyed the most was learning about the importance of standard operating procedures (commonly referred to as SOPs in the biopharmaceutical industry).

I enjoyed working in the lab the most, said Cameron. This is where I learned about SOPs. They are similar to a recipe that you need to follow step-by-step.

Today as a downstream tech at FUJIFILM Diosynth, Cameron is part of the biomanufacturing team responsible for the purification of biological molecules such as recombinant proteins, using filtration and chromatography.

This is not her first position in biomanufacturing, however. Prior to her current position, she had also gained on-the-job experience at Merck.

At Wake Tech, students are filling up the BioWork certificate courses. According to its website, all BioWork courses for the fall semester are full, but the school is in the process of hiring an additional instructor.

According to Mike Morgan, Wake Techs workforce continuing education BioWork program director, 180 students receive the certificate each year.

In addition to offering the certificate program, the school holds in-person and virtual job fairs to connect students with life science and staffing companies.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March of 2020, we have had very successful virtual career fairs organized by NC BioNetwork, said Morgan. We have been doing one of these each spring, summer and fall since April 2020.

For her part, Cameron recommends those interested in making a career change check out the program.

I would tell others to try the BioWork program because there are vast opportunities, and the pays is very competitive, she said. You can always find a job.

Mother Finds New Career Thanks to BioWork Program - ncbiotech.org

Insiders seem to have made the most of their holdings by selling US$8.9m worth of Unity Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ:UBX) stock at an average sell price of US$5.24 during the past year. The companys market cap plunged by US$27m after price dropped by 13% last week but insiders were able to limit their loss to an extent.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

See our latest analysis for Unity Biotechnology

The Co-Founder & Executive Director, Nathaniel David, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$8.9m worth of shares at a price of US$5.24 each. While we don't usually like to see insider selling, it's more concerning if the sales take place at a lower price. The silver lining is that this sell-down took place above the latest price (US$3.31). So it may not tell us anything about how insiders feel about the current share price. The only individual insider seller over the last year was Nathaniel David.

The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year. By clicking on the graph below, you can see the precise details of each insider transaction!

For those who like to find winning investments this free list of growing companies with recent insider purchasing, could be just the ticket.

For a common shareholder, it is worth checking how many shares are held by company insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Insiders own 3.6% of Unity Biotechnology shares, worth about US$6.5m, according to our data. Whilst better than nothing, we're not overly impressed by these holdings.

There haven't been any insider transactions in the last three months -- that doesn't mean much. Our analysis of Unity Biotechnology insider transactions leaves us unenthusiastic. And usually insiders own more stock in the company, according to our data. While we like knowing what's going on with the insider's ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision. To help with this, we've discovered 5 warning signs (2 are significant!) that you ought to be aware of before buying any shares in Unity Biotechnology.

If you would prefer to check out another company -- one with potentially superior financials -- then do not miss this free list of interesting companies, that have HIGH return on equity and low debt.
