• pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing

• and research and development

The majority of bioscience firms in the Greater Phoenix region are small to medium in size. Over 60% employ fewer than 20 workers, however, these firms account for only 13.8% of employment. Medium size firms with 20 to 499 workers account for most of the remainder of regional employment, with three firms employing over 500 people apiece.
