This study, however, does not simply repeat what others say about chiral technology because we also bring objectivity and independent thought to the subject. This study quantifies the sales value of chiral technology enabling products in the aggregate, according to recognized categories. Both worldwide and U.S. estimates are given. The sales value includes open-market sales and captive consumption valued at open market. The forecast average annual growth rate, AAGR, is derived by the compounding method from tables of net present value.
All estimates refer to the unique products of chiral technology.
We go to lengths to exclude enabling products of a general nature and we also exclude applications not uniquely associated with racemates. Thus we believe our estimates more accurately reflect the true dimension of chiral technology than other published figures. All analyses are made independently, without the bias of vested interests. Mentions of companies and products are not endorsements, and omissions of companies, products and applications, if any, are not intentional. The analyst for this study is a chemist and biochemist, who also has an MBA degree in marketing.
