Pharma Marketing: How to Successfully Market in the Pharma Industry

The Market in the Pharma Industry is $900 billion and this figure is fully expected to exceed $1,1 trillions in the next few years. In fact, recent studies show the industry is growing at a rate of 5%, which is just behind the two other major healthcare segments – medical services and equipment. As a rule, drug affordability and disease prevalence continue to drive this rate, while government policies and regulation can impede or slow down this growth. However, it’s clear that this demand is not likely to slow down anytime soon and online trends can also attest to this statement.

As an industry, are we willing to broaden our innovation mandate and make it our business, literally, to scan the environment for disruptive technologies that restructure various aspects of healthcare delivery. Do we think it is our responsibility to provide better solutions to our customers that are ‘beyond the pill’?
