Hi Aj,

You have covered it pretty well there. In competitive industries linked to considerable R&D spends that ultimately flow on into manufacturing lines ie biotechs, pharmaceuticals etc, smaller companies with products that are impacting the financial position and space of larger ones can often find themselves aggressively acquired and their products removed from the market, thereby freeing up the commercial space for the suitors products that require an ongoing return on initial development and manufacturing costs. It is happening more and more in this current environment with a significant incease in mergers and takeovers,irrespective of size!
