This report presents a patent landscape analysis investigating the innovation trends within the industrial biotechnology (IB) sector from 2015 to 2020. The study's primary objective is to identify the geographical hotspots of innovation, the key players, and the role of different types of organizations in driving technological advancements in IB. By employing a methodology that includes data retrieval through the Technology Innovation Monitoring (TIM) tool and careful selection of keywords and Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) terms, the report categorizes patents across five technological areas pertinent to IB. The geographical scope of the analysis encompasses major global players as well as the European Union, providing a broad view of the innovation landscape. The report also introduces an online dashboard to facilitate further analysis and exploration of the data. This study serves as a resource for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers, offering insights that can inform strategic planning and decision-making in the evolving field of industrial biotechnology.
