Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/18/2017 -- Global Marine Derived Drugs Market: Overview

A significantly large part of the world's most popular medications are derived directly or indirectly from natural sources. Pioneering research in drugs derived from marine sources commenced with Roche Research Institute of Marine Pharmacology in the mid 1970s. Tethya crypta was one of the first marine organisms to be commercialized for the production of medications administered against HIV and Herpes. A small number of marine species, primarily comprising algae and other invertebrates, are already being researched to gauge their commercial value in pharmaceuticals.

The rising incidence of chronic ailments has emerged as a major concern globally, compelling governments to invest in advanced therapeutic researches. Studies have found marine organisms highly capable of providing effective solutions for chronic ailments such as cancer, herpes, and Alzheimer's, among others. The rate of success and growth witnessed in the field is expected to be a major driver of the global marine derived drugs market. The increasing number of marine organisms used to extract drugs will create significant growth opportunities for the market. Currently sponges, mollusks, deep sea bacteria, tunicates, and fungi are the most commonly used marine organisms used for deriving drugs. Despite such strong show of R&D activities, experts believe no more than 10% of the potential marine candidates are researched till date.
