Intron Health - COVID-19 - $10bn Sales Opportunity for New Drugs

As the situation continues to deteriorate in the West and evidence grows of a second wave in some East Asian countries, the need for a therapeutic solution that could help to stem the tide is now crucial. With a COVID-19 vaccine unlikely until mid-2021 and given early signs of mutations which may temper vaccine efficacy, drugs could help to ease the burden on hospitals. We show there is a potential $10bn windfall to be shared between 4 BioPharma companies. We conclude that Roche is best placed in EU Pharma due to an Actemra boost, CV-19 testing windfall & defensive portfolio.
