Launching a new pharmaceutical or biotech treatment is a complex and critical process, marked by rigorous planning, scientific innovation, compliance concerns, and strategic market positioning.
When a launch doesn't go as planned, critical milestones for patient access, HCP and KOL engagement, and market penetration are often missed, impacting the healthcare community and the company's bottom line.
In fact a 2021 Deloitte study, the top reason why drug launches didn’t meet expectations for big pharma was a lack of product differentiation. The same study found that 56% of failed drug launches cited inadequate or incomplete understanding of the market and/or customer needs.
In the pharma industry, a misstep in launching a new treatment can arise from various factors, including regulatory hurdles, market access challenges, misaligned messaging, medical and commercial team execution, or unforeseen market dynamics. Recognizing these challenges early and learning from them is crucial for future success.
Here, we'll discuss strategies to enhance the launch process for new pharmaceutical or biotech treatments, emphasizing the role of advanced Generative analytics and AI in understanding market needs and improving engagement with healthcare professionals.
