Survey: Over 70% Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Companies will Invest More in Market Intelligence in 2012-13

Global Intelligence Alliance (GIA), a global strategic market intelligence and advisory group, releases results from its 2011 Global Market Intelligence Survey, which show that pharmaceuticals and healthcare companies appear to have efficient market intelligence functions. More than 70% already have a systematic operation in place. Compared to some other industries, they have one of the highest satisfaction rates. Over 70% intend to increase their investments into market intelligence over 2012-2013.

As a program, market intelligence collects information about market players and strategically relevant topics and processes it into insights that support decision-making. It helps organizations understand their business environment, compete successfully in it, and grow as a result.

The consultancy predicts that with growth in competition and new markets, pharmaceuticals and healthcare companies will be looking for new and innovative ways to operate, grow and price products – particularly medicines that are already in the late stage of the pipeline in order to reduce funding requirements. The healthcare sector will require more efficient processes and the clever use of telecommunication technology. Advisory services for M&A and partnering will be in demand, and so will competitive intelligence.

These are some of the conclusions regarding market intelligence within the pharmaceuticals and healthcare industry from the 2011 Global Market Intelligence Survey. The study surveyed 989 companies across North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific, of which 81 respondents were global pharmaceuticals and healthcare companies. Conducted in March 2011, the online survey looked at the state of market intelligence, the perceived benefits, how it supports decision-making, and anticipated future developments.

Some of the key survey findings include:
• 73% of pharmaceuticals and healthcare companies intend to increase their investments into market intelligence over 2012-2013.
• About 40% of the pharmaceuticals and healthcare companies without a market intelligence operation yet intend to launch one within 12 months.
• 96% agree that they have benefited from market intelligence and 79% think that their market intelligence investments have paid off.
• Including human resources costs, global pharmaceuticals and healthcare companies spend an average of 2.4 million Euros or $3.4 million US dollars on market intelligence annually
• On average, market intelligence teams at pharmaceuticals and healthcare companies comprise a core team of 9 people who cater to 410 internal clients, with 114 colleagues who contribute to market intelligence activities.
