🌍 Market Access: The Key to Overcoming Future Challenges and Unleashing Success
The development and launch of new drugs face increasing challenges in a highly competitive and regulated market. The average cost of bringing a product to market exceeds $2 billion, yet over 36% of launches in the U.S. fail to meet payer expectations. The key to success lies in a strong and well-executed market access strategy, addressing aspects such as clinical evidence, stakeholder negotiation, and ensuring affordable supplies.
🎯 Key Elements for a Successful Market Access Strategy:
- Winning Ambition: Define clear goals aligned with business objectives. Establish access timelines, volumes, discounts, and reimbursements.
- Where to Play: Consider treatment context, prioritize stakeholders, evaluate access options and their trade-offs.
- How to Win: Communicate brand value, determine pricing, contracting, reimbursement, affordability, and compliance.
- Execution: Prioritize cross-functional actions, monitor outcomes, and adapt to the market. Requires flexible resource allocation, best practice application, strategic adjustments, and concessions for sustainable and profitable access.
📊 Principles for an Effective Market Access Strategy:
• Rigor and Discipline in Strategy Development: Ensure adequate resources and cross-functional execution in market access, branding, healthcare, HEOR, sales, and finance.
• Incorporate market access perspective early in clinical development to demonstrate and communicate value to stakeholders throughout the product lifecycle.
• Develop a tailored value and evidence strategy to meet the unmet needs of each stakeholder and treatment type.
• Flexibility to adapt to changes (customer, competition, political, economic, social, and technological) and ensure sustainable and profitable access.
🌟 In a complex business environment, a solid market access strategy is essential for the success of pharmaceutical product launches. Embracing disciplined and cross-functional approaches ensures effective and sustainable execution in a competitive and ever-changing market.
