2.14 Comparison of <strong>Industry</strong> Wide Estimates<br />

from 2007 to 2011<br />

The figures presented in the following three Tables include<br />

estimates only for the <strong>Queensland</strong> <strong>Industry</strong> in 2007, 2009<br />

and 2011, based on a statistical extrapolation of data from a<br />

sample of the industry population (i.e. data from those who<br />

responded to the survey conducted in each respective year).<br />

The sample of organisations that respond will be different<br />

each year and so direct comparisons must be made in<br />

knowledge of the potential for extreme variability in the data.<br />

In 2007, the analysis of the QLS <strong>Industry</strong> involved two<br />

separate surveys: for Biotechnology and for Therapeutic<br />

Medicines and Devices (TMD). However, these two sectors<br />

overlap in terms of their definition, and a number of<br />

organisations could have fallen into either sector. For<br />

the 2009 and 2011 surveys, the Biotechnology and TMD<br />

groups were merged into a more broadly defined QLS<br />

<strong>Industry</strong>. To allow a trend analysis of key parameters for<br />

TABLE 4: <strong>Queensland</strong> <strong>Life</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong> <strong>Industry</strong>: whole of industry estimates — Trends a<br />

the Biotechnology and TMD sectors since 2007, the data<br />

from the 2009 and the current survey were also analysed<br />

according to this division. Of the 301 organisations in<br />

the industry, 133 (44%) were deemed to be operating in<br />

Biotechnology, and 168 (56%) in TMD.<br />

A similar statistical methodology was employed for<br />

estimates from the 2011 and 2009 survey data. In some<br />

cases, the 2007 <strong>Queensland</strong> Biotechnology and TMD survey<br />

results were reanalysed using the methodology applied to<br />

the 2009 and 2011 survey data. Please note that income<br />

data for the TMD analysis in 2007 was collected as an<br />

income range and not a specific figure, as was the case in<br />

subsequent surveys.<br />

<strong>Queensland</strong>-wide employment estimates decreased by<br />

28.5% from the 2009 estimates (Table 4). The majority of<br />

employees were lost from companies (down by 40%), with<br />

estimates for research organisations being similar in 2009<br />

and 2011 (down by 3%).<br />
