Summary


The obstacles to success in the industry over the next ten years are numerous and complicated. 2015: Strategic Considerations for the U.S. Pharmaceutical Industry maps out the competitive, scientific, and regulatory hurdles ahead, and offers insightful and creative business strategies to navigate through the challenges, capitalize on the opportunities, and adapt to change.

This report offers a thorough analysis of current trends and issues that are challenging high-level decision making, including the following:
• The main issues that companies face as a result of globalization.
• The need to align products and markets, and differentiate products.
• Key issues in forming development partnerships.
• Convergence strategies—finding new combinations of formerly distinct market segments for a company’s pharmaceuticals, therapeutic devices, and diagnostic processes or equipment.
• Outstanding needs in new product development & commercialization.
• Managing the regulatory environment and drug approval process.

2015: Strategic Considerations for the US Pharmaceutical Industry builds on this analysis by constructing 4 bold scenarios based on the interaction between these fundamental drivers of change —customized therapeutics versus blockbuster drugs, and free market versus price control. Using these two drivers and their variables, the report details developments in the following four areas:
• Socio-economic
• Technology
• Market and regulatory
• Distribution

The scenarios are based on direct input from industry insiders through in-depth interviews as well as extensive secondary research of the US market. This analysis provides insight into the issues that will shape the industry and prompts managers to begin preparing for long-term changes.
