Go-to-Market Strategy in Pharma Industry
Pharma companies invest
considerably in product development, pre- and post-launch product launches, and
other activities like mergers, buyouts, and acquisitions. This is in one
necessary for increasing growth curve and exponential profit yield.
However, three major types of
risks, namely Scientific risks, Economic risks, and Delivery risks, are always
looming above them. Development, manufacturing of product through various
clinical phases, and transitions from phase to another usually takes an average
of 10 years. Even after that, the road is not free from obstacles. The failure
of the drug at the last stage, as has been observed in many cases. Then, the pressure
of ensuring the affordability of the therapies to patients awaits after the
commercialization of the product.
In addition to this, market
competition, expiring patents, slow sales, lower profit margins, cost factor,
are other significant challenges that come across pharma companies and need to
be addressed with their strategized, optimized go-to-market strategy.
It is imperative for them to have
a significant focus on innovation and R&D to address unmet needs and to
keep in parallel with healthcare reforms and follow regulatory guidelines.
In this continually increasing
competition and changing landscape, pharma companies need to reform their
market strategies.
Some of the Go-to-market
strategies undertaken by pharma companies to enable better client experience
and foster relations are as follows:
- Customer-centric market model
- Digitally enabled
- Lower operational costs
- High Return on investment
- Customized solutions
- Better infrastructure
Without a doubt, Pharma companies
would be only able to communicate well only after they have better
understanding of the needs of their clients. Moreover, to facilitate better
adherence of medication, and diagnostics tools, it is important to have
personalized and customized services. Innovative technologies such as 3D
printing, and blockchain technology leverage more opportunities that form a
part of pharma’s go-to-market strategy for sustainable growth of the pharma
industry. Overall, way to success is to embed all of these strategies in the
launch plan of their the go-to-market model after commercialization of the
product.
