2 2 INTRODUCTION The Southern California life sciences cluster remains one of the most vibrant and innovative in the world, benefiting from a unique collegiality that arises out of its high concentration of research institutes and close proximity of companies from all sectors. In this update to previous reports on the value and impact of Southern California s life sciences and related industries there is much evidence that this region continues to be a global center of cutting edge research, manufacturing, and business development working to improve the human health condition and creating jobs and opportunities for Southern California residents. History of Life Science Industries in Southern California What began more than 35 years ago with a single biotechnology startup has evolved into one of the world s largest life sciences hubs. Several major forces put the region on the map: science breakthroughs out of the research institutes on the Torrey Pines Mesa and in and around Irvine, as well as the success of the region s first true biotechnology company, Hybritech, and the growth of the medical device industry in both San Diego and Orange Counties. Scientists out of UC San Diego founded San Diego-based Hybritech. The company s signature product, the PSA test, a diagnostic test for prostate cancer and the company s acquisition by pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly for $400 million cash in 1986, created the first generation of Southern California biotechnology entrepreneurs with the finances and connections to start new companies. Those entrepreneurs went on to form or nurture scores of biopharmaceutical and medical device start-ups, including San Diego s biggest biotech drug success story, Idec, which is now part of Biogen-Idec. In Orange County, the medical device industry s story of growth began much as it did in San Diego County. Scientists and engineers originally attracted to the region for military research and manufacturing jobs began to translate basic bioscience research from the surrounding labs and universities into potential products. Edwards Lifesciences, founded in Santa Ana in the late 1950s, anchored the device cluster to the north. It, too, graduated a new generation of entrepreneurs who started their own companies in Orange County. Meanwhile, Allergan, an Irvine eye drug company also founded in the 1950s, began to move into the new field of biotechnology in the late 1980s, with the acquisition of Botox. During these same years, funding for basic science from the National Institutes of Health began to grow, and the science in both Torrey Pines and the UC Irvine area began to thrive. Today, more than two dozen research institutes, universities and colleges in Southern California conduct basic scientific research or train future generations of scientists, entrepreneurs and life science catalysts. As the industry has grown, so has the support infrastructure. Southern California is home to law firms, accountants, real estate firms, equipment suppliers and public relations agencies that specialize in the life sciences. This critical mass of research, entrepreneurs, support services and private investors savvy about the risks and long incubations. Life science products acts as a magnet to attract even more life science activity to the region. While the life sciences in San Diego and the Orange County towns of Irvine and Mission Viejo have built global reputations for their life science prowess, the industry has also been taking root in Riverside County. There, Abbott Vascular and other medical device manufacturers take advantage of a more affordable housing market and proximity to a talented regional work force. This neighborhood in the region s cluster is even more powerful with the opening of UC Riverside s School of Medicine in August. To the east in Imperial County, long known for its agricultural heritage, new life science sectors such as industrial biotechnology and biofuels are creating opportunities for new jobs and new relationships. This sprawl of life-saving innovation makes Southern California a case study for investing millions of dollars to foster the creation of biotechnology clusters and the growth of well-paying jobs. The industry that generates cures and therapies for society s most devastating diseases is also developing alternative energy technologies to replace fossil fuels and chemicals that degrade the environment. A major economic driver in Southern California, this is the type of industry that economic development agencies around the world covet: it s clean and it stimulates the economy with a well-paid, well-educated workforce that demands excellent schools and plenty of first-rate cultural opportunities. Biocom 2013 Southern California Economic omic Impact Report

3 About Biocom With over 575 members across all sectors of the life sciences, Biocom is the nonprofit trade association for Southern California with members representing private industry, academia and research institutes, service providers and patient advocacy agencies. Biocom was launched in 1992 when San Diego s biotechnology start-ups realized that they needed a strong and united voice to advocate for local and regional policies conducive to industry growth and regional economic development. Twenty years later, Biocom continues to provide public policy support in city halls, Sacramento and on Capitol Hill, where it partners with peer industry groups from across the nation. Now, in addition to advocacy, Biocom saves its members money through group purchasing, and provides numerous workforce development programs that allow current employees to enhance their skills and help train the next generation of workers creating a sustainable, highly-skilled workforce in the region that is increasingly a model for regional economics across the globe. Biocom is also a premier networking organization, hosting over 75 events a year. Capital development for the region is a major Biocom goal, and the organization works with member companies on initiatives designed to accelerate development in the life sciences sector. The Study Keeping with previous research, this study explicitly recognizes that the life sciences industry cluster has become regional in scope with close interactions among firms, universities, and research institutes across Southern California. Therefore, the study area for the research presented here covers Orange, Riverside, San Diego, and Imperial Counties, which was a groundbreaking aspect of our 2011 research. Though it examines regional effects, it is still important for local leaders and policy makers to realize that each of these component counties benefit individually from the tremendous success of the life sciences industry, The following pages report the findings of our updated analysis of the scope and impacts of the life sciences industries and some of its most important sectors. The first section provides an economic overview of the counties and region, giving the reader a context of both the size and scope of the regional economy, wages, population growth, and education. The second moves from overarching economic trends to the life sciences industry cluster. It includes current and forecasted employment, economic impacts, and foreign trade. In particular, this section will illustrate clusters of competitiveness and degrees of specialization when compared with the United States and other regions. In addition, we will examine the linkages between key supporting industries and the life sciences cluster to gauge the economic contribution the life sciences industry is making to these industries. The third section briefly examines investment and funding trends. The goals of the report are to provide the life science community, and those interested in it, with a clear and accurate understanding of the innovation occurring in Southern California, to measure its economic impact on the county and the region, and to offer a fair representation of future growth that can be expected.

4 METHODOLOGY The purpose of this study is to provide a deeper understanding of the life sciences industry cluster in Southern California. By taking a data-driven approach, this study will serve as a tool for industry professionals, economic development practitioners, and policy makers, enhancing their planning efforts and facilitating their decision-making process. Three research tasks are undertaken to achieve the study s purpose: Define the Life Sciences Industry Cluster Assess Regional Competitiveness Estimate the Economic Impacts of the Life Sciences Cluster ORANGE RIVERSIDE METHODOLOGY 4 For the purposes of our study, we have defi ned Southern California by incorporating the counties Biocom serves; Orange, Riverside, San Diego and Imperial Counties. As stated earlier, scores of previous studies have typically been limited to traditional metropolitan statistical areas, states, or nations. By looking at the region as a whole, we analyze the relationships between the counties and determine how they complement each other and grow from within. DEFINING THE LIFE SCIENCES INDUSTRY CLUSTER The life sciences industry cluster is not static; its core attributes are innovation and evolution. Any attempt to defi ne the life sciences industry must incorporate and embrace the latest industry trends, technologies and economic linkages. The concept of clusters itself, as a fundamental structure, is based on biological or evolutionary principles. Alfred Marshall, who pioneered the concept of industry clusters in the 1890s, was deeply infl uenced by the notion of the co-evolution between industry and the regional economy. In his landmark Principles of Economics, Marshall states that a large part of his book is intended to emphasize the notion that economics is a science of life, and is akin to biology rather than mechanics. Previous research by Biocom used multiple methods of economic inquiry to defi ne the industries and activities that make up the life sciences industry in Southern California including Biopharmaceuticals, Research and Laboratories, Medical Devices, Industrial Bio-Tech and Bio-Fuels, and Life Sciences Trade. A complete list of codes used in the analysis is provided in Appendix A. However, while keeping with the general constructs of the previous research, a re-examination of relevant industries has suggested that there is a critical contributing sector to the life sciences industry that was not fully accounted for in our previous study. The Research and Laboratories sector previously included a very narrow portion of the dynamic impact of the higher education institutions located in Southern California. In this research we have expanded that portion to recognize the critical contributions of higher education in supporting not only life sciences research, but providing the skilled workforce to manage companies and provide professional services without which the life sciences industry could not survive, let alone fl ourish. SAN DIEGO IMPERIAL SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Therefore, the fi ndings of several aspects of this research are not directly comparable to previous research fi ndings, but offer a more complete view of the life sciences industry in Southern California: BIOPHARMACEUTICALS: Firms that develop and produce pharmaceuticals, biologics and medicinal products. RESEARCH, LAB SERVICES & EDUCATION INSTITUTES OF HIGHER LEARNING: Firms engaged in research and development in biotechnology and other life sciences, life science testing laboratories, and stand-alone medical research laboratories. MEDICAL DEVICES & DIAGNOSTICS: Firms that develop and manufacture medical instruments and supplies, laboratory equipment, electro-medical apparati including MRI and ultrasound equipment, dental equipment and supplies, and ophthalmic products. INDUSTRIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY & BIOFUELS: Firms using biological tools such as microbes and enzymes to manufacture chemicals, fertilizers, textiles, cosmetics, and energy production. LIFE SCIENCES TRADE: Firms engaged in the wholesale distribution of medical and dental supplies. Each sector was determined by grouping specifi c six-digit NAICS (North American Industry Classifi cation System) codes pertaining to the individual sector. A complete list of codes used in the analysis is provided in chapter Key Terms & Concepts.

5 SPECIALIZATION AND REGIONAL COMPETITIVENESS For an industry to fl ourish, it must establish a critical mass. A high level of specialization fosters synergy and collaboration as though knowledge is in the air. An effective and commonly used economic base technique to measure a region s specialization is the location quotient (LQ). This study utilizes employment as its unit of measure for LQ. The proportional employment in a selected industry for the study area is compared to a reference area, in this case, national employment. The arithmetic nature of an LQ leads to the following rules of LQ evaluation: LQ>1 is interpreted as the region being more specialized than the nation in the particular industry. LQ<1 is interpreted as the region being less specialized than the nation in the particular industry. LQ=1 is interpreted as the region having an equal degree of specialization when compared with the nation in the particular industry. Industries with strong LQs are often indicative of a regional competitive advantage that would support additional growth and opportunity. Industries with low LQs indicate goods and services that must be imported into the region and therefore could represent opportunities for business development and recruitment. Shift share is a second economic analysis technique used to highlight the region s competitive advantages and disadvantages. It is useful for recognizing established or emerging strengths and weaknesses in local regions taking into account non-local market conditions such as overall economic trends and industry trends not tied to local conditions. Shift share analysis includes three basic components: Job Change: This is the actual and/or projected job change in the regional industry over the specifi ed timeframe. The change is actual for historical data and projected for future years data. Expected Change: This is the job growth one would expect in the regional industry if it followed national trends exactly. Competitive Effect: The most important of the three indicators, this explains how much of the change in a given industry is due to a unique competitive advantage that the region possesses, because the growth cannot be explained by national trends in the industry or the economy as a whole. ECONOMIC IMPACT The analysis of the economic impact of the life sciences industry incorporates data primarily provided by EMSI* and the IMPLAN* input-output model. These estimates of total economic activity include direct, indirect, and induced impacts based on the activities of a given industry. An example to consider is the economic impact of pharmaceuticals. The direct effects would include the activities of the fi rm that hires employees, pays wages, and purchases materials. In addition, the fi rm will buy equipment and offi ce supplies, and it will engage professional service providers, such as accountants and attorneys, as part of its normal business operations. Indirect effects capture the economic activities of the company s vendors. For instance, the accounting fi rm that provides bookkeeping services buys offi ce supplies, rents space, purchases computer equipment, and hires services for its business needs. Induced effects include the impact of the employees of all these fi rms spending a portion of their wages and salaries in the local economy. At each stage, the model accounts for spending that leaves the local area, such as spending for imported (domestic or foreign) raw materials. When added together, the adjusted total impacts are often larger than direct spending by industry fi rms, which is the multiplier effect. TRIANGULATION OF THE DATA Triangulation can be defi ned as combining multiple observations, theories, methods, and analytic techniques to overcome weakness or intrinsic bias that could be present in the data being examined or the technique employed in an analysis. By including three primary methods of inquiry, location quotient, shift-share analysis, and economic impact analysis, this study offers a more holistic and accurate description of the magnitude and impact of the life sciences industry in Southern California.

6 REGIONAL OVERVIEW Recovery and growth. These are the two best words to describe the Southern California economy of Framed by a state that continues to grow faster that the nation as a whole, Southern California is leading the state with continuing investment resulting is new business opportunities and job growth. In addition to economic opportunity, Southern California s attributes and amenities continue to attract new residents to the region. More importantly, the region s smaller counties, Riverside and Imperial, have seen the strongest population growth rates since In this section, we report on recent demographic and economic trends in Southern California.

9 Education serves as a catalyst for innovation. The very roots of our life sciences industry cluster began with UC San Diego. Data shows that students are more likely to stay where they already have established ties through their university. A region that can attract the best and brightest and retain their homegrown talent is strongly positioned to capitalize on its unique educational assets. Southern California is home to over 150 degree- or certifi cate-granting institutions offering a wide range of opportunities. With over 260,000 college students, San Diego County boasts one of the highest concentrations of students in the United States. Many of the region s institutions of higher learning bolster the life sciences cluster by producing graduates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, collectively referred to as STEM programs. 38% of those living in the region hold an associate s degree or higher, compared to 35% for the rest of the country. In Orange County, 43% of residents fall in this category.

10 LIFE SCIENCES INDUSTRY 10 LIFE SCIENCES INDUSTRY Southern California s life sciences cluster provides over 107,000 jobs in fi ve sectors: biopharmaceuticals; industrial biotechnology and biofuels; life sciences trade; medical devices and diagnostics; and research, lab services and education. Importantly, we expect total industry employment to add about 9,100 new jobs over the next two years. Disparities in average wages are the result of relatively high concentrations of agricultural segments in the biotechnology and biofuels cluster in Imperial and Riverside counties. While overall growth in the region is impressive and expected to continue, Imperial County is expected to see continuing challenges to its contribution to life sciences industry performance that should be examined further.

LQ values above 1.00 identify a region with a greater concentration of an industry or sector than the nation as a whole. If a LQ is below 1.00, the region has less concentration of an industry than the rest of the nation. The Southern California region identifi ed in this report has an LQ of 1.7 for the life sciences cluster. This means that the life science cluster is 70% more concentrated in the region than it is in the rest of the nation. The data show that San Diego County is one of the most dominant areas of the nation in biopharmaceuticals, and this dominance is expected to increase over the period. Industrial Biotechnology & Biofuels Research, Lab Services & Education Medical Devices and Diagnostics Life Sciences Trade Most of the jobs in the life science cluster in Southern California fall within the research, lab services and education sector representing about 64% of all industry jobs in LIFE SCIENCES INDUSTRY 11 LIFE SCIENCES EMPLOYMENT BY COUNTY 70,000 65,000 60,000 55,000 50,000 45,000 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 TOTAL: 39,239 8,560 59,237 38,031 8,975 59, , , ,546 40,771 9,896 68,422 Imperial Orange Riverside San Diego

Sources: EMSI Employment Complete, T. Clower & Associates LINKAGES TO KEY INDUSTRIES For a region s life sciences cluster to remain competitive and foster future growth, it must have strong linkages with key supporting industries. These key industries provide the necessary economic infrastructure to move products to market, supply and attract talent, create a sophisticated fi nancial services network, and offer legal services that can protect intellectual property rights and assist with patent applications. These key supporting industries are increasingly vital to the long-term development of not only the life sciences cluster but also the entire region in meeting the ever-evolving demands of all industries. By incorporating data provided by the IMPLAN model and the Biocom membership list, we have identifi ed seven support industries that are essential to the region s life sciences cluster. This list is by no means exhaustive, as every industry within the economic ecosystem plays an important role. The life sciences cluster supports nearly 47,000 jobs in these seven industries across the region. The largest support industry is real estate, followed by fi nancial services. The region s 107,463 life science employees support an additional 312,023 jobs, for a total regional impact of 419,486 jobs. These jobs pay a total of $27,9 billion in wages and salaries, with an overall impact of $76 billion in economic activity.

18 RESEARCH, LAB SERVICES & EDUCATION RESEARCH, LAB SERVICES & EDUCATION The research, lab services & education sector includes the many colleges, universities and private research institutes in Southern California. These institutions conduct basic research in the life sciences, industrial biotechnology, genetic sequencing, and synthetic biology, and they combine different areas of expertise, such as cellular technology and medical device technology, to create new classes of products such as wireless health technology. This sector also includes the growing sub-sectors of contract research and contract manufacturing, with companies such as Pharmatek and Millennium Laboratories, which provide services to the increasingly popular virtual life science company business model.

Source: Hoover s. * Estimate Since the previous study, the research, lab services, and education sector has continued to show a strong regional business climate and overall competitiveness. While national trends also predict strong job growth, the region continued to outpace expected job growth. Much of this growth, however, is in San Diego County alone. The sector did not fare well in Orange or Riverside counties, where job loss was more than the expected values. In total,1,347 establishments are engaged in the research, lab services, and education sector of the life sciences cluster, providing, on average, 50 jobs per establishment.

One look at the density of the private academic research labs on Torrey Pines Mesa would explain this unique feature of the region. The lingering effects of the Great Recession have had an impact of this industry cluster with total regional employment showing a slight decline of about 2% from 2010 levels. However, as the national economic recovery picks up steam in 2013 and 2014, we expect a signifi cant rebound in this cluster with total employment increasing to over 75,000. Both Orange County and San Diego County have strong location quotients in the research, lab services and education sector. This is driven by the large number of research and development jobs in San Diego County, the growing number of medical laboratory jobs in Orange County, and the aforementioned strength of higher education institutions in Southern California. The LQ for the San Diego-Orange counties region for research, lab services, and education is 1.79, which means there is almost 80 percent more of these jobs in this area per capita than the national average. The competitive effect for the research, lab services, and education sector in the region over the past few years has been very strong. However, Orange County is showing indication of challenges that are likely the result of industry trends and budget troubles facing California s public universities over the past few years.

These more sustainable chemicals or processes are used in manufacturing, as additives for livestock feed or to help break down waste products. The sector also includes biofuels research and synthetic biology. All of the fi elds in this sector have benefi ted from the fi eld of genetic sequencing, an area in which Southern California has a particular strength since it is home to Life Technologies and Illumina, two of the leading companies in the space that are driving the technology forward in leaps and bounds.

San Diego leads the region in employment in the sector with 2,372 jobs in 2012, followed by Riverside County, which had 1,193 jobs. From enzyme companies such as Verenium, to industrial chemical companies such as Genomatica, to alternative fuel source companies such as SG Biofuels and Verdezyne, to larger global companies such as BP s Global Biofuels Technology Center, San Diego s long-standing strength in research and traditional biotechnology has helped it to evolve into a recognized center of innovation for this emerging sector. The average salary paid in this region to people working in the sector is $42,883, which is lower than most sectors due to agricultural jobs included in this sector. Southern California saw a decrease in industrial biotechnology and biofuels employment from 2010 to 2012, a trend which is expected to continue into Riverside County and San Diego County managed to buck the trend and post modest job gains in this sector.
