---

Reported by Annette Kreuger, Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Industrial Info Resources is pleased to announce the release of the 2015 North America Pharmaceutical & Biotech Industry Outlook. With the entire industry still in a state of transition, the importance of having a tool that provides understanding and knowledge has never been more essential. Tap into the pulse of the North American Pharmaceutical & Biotech Industry, using a clear, concise format that demystifies this lucrative and constantly evolving industry.

The 2015 North America Pharmaceutical & Biotech Industry Outlook provides insight into a market that is currently anticipating facility construction starts of more than $20 billion before the year is over. Each year, Industrial Info provides an overall spending forecast, with the numbers representing total expenditures for capital and maintenance as they relate to the North American Pharmaceutical & Biotech Industry. The forecast is derived by applying a confidence factor based on historical spending trends to the baseline project activity that Industrial Info is currently tracking. Industrial Info then uses actual projects identified from our research to analyze the trends as they relate to geography, project type and budget type.

Projects are monitored on a regular basis, providing a "real-time" picture of activity. The dollar amount fluctuates as some project schedules move to different years and entirely new projects are added. As of October 15, 2014, about $12.9 billion worth of projects were scheduled to start construction in 2015. Six months later, as of April 15, 2015, that number has jumped to just more than $20 billion; next month, it could drop to $18 billion--that's the nature of Industrial Info's real-time tracking. These projects are measured on the scheduled kickoff date and all are valued at $1 million and greater.
