Summary
Outline for 2013 global Strategic Management Review (SMR)
As the global economy slowly emerges from the financial crisis and subsequent recessions or lower growth, it is possible to detect that the Pharmaceutical industry is facing unprecedented change in all business fundamentals which is not transient but the 'new normal'.
Thus the 2013 SMR, while recognising that sales will continue to grow in low single digits, tackles the impact of deepening regulation and budgetary control on R+D and commercial structure and operations, the growing impact of pre ordained evidence to justify utilisation in areas of unmet medical needs transforming lifecycle management, and the increasing inclusion of patients and carers in decision making processes.
At the same time there are considerable opportunities for those who have focused on unmet medical needs with proven innovations and leading edge commercial strategies whether it is in diabetes, oncology or stroke prevention: in small or large molecules, or novel delivery methods. Interestingly many of these successes are driven by smaller players so the SMR will conclude with a critical assessment of what went wrong for large Pharma and especially if there is any way back.
