Pharmaceutical Pricing Strategies - Changing approaches to meet challenging times
Summary
The current economic environment has created a number of challenges within the pharmaceutical market, with governments looking to reduce spending on healthcare and drugs. Consequently, prices have come under scrutiny, with many older products having discounts forced upon them and new drugs being subject to increasingly complex assessments in order to obtain the desired price.
Novel pricing policies, such as value based pricing and external price referencing, are being employed by governments to regulate pharmaceutical prices and are expected to have a significant impact on prices and profitability in the future.
The report, “Pharmaceutical Pricing Strategies - Changing approaches to meet challenging times”, uses case study analysis to support companies with their strategic pricing strategies while providing insights to aid professionals who are both new & experienced on the subject. This report will help guide executives focused on the US and/or the ROW through the growing challenges in pricing out pharmaceuticals that have taken shape due to the increasing cost constraints being experienced in the healthcare systems across the globe.
