 Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals

The healthcare and pharmaceutical industries are today facing increasingly challenging obstacles in this current age:
  • The switch from branded drugs to generics, accompanying a similar switch from prescription to over-the-counter drugs;
  • An upsurge in multi-drug-resistant bacteria and the omnipresent problem of nosocomial infections, producing an "arms race" between man and microbes;
  • A demanding FDA approval process, from bench research to drug availability;
  • Well-funded and vocal public advocacy groups touting the "disease of the week" have the ability to shift attention away from critical public health areas towards less prevalent pet causes; and
  • Healthcare and Rx-drug availability is increasingly to be found overseas or across US borders.

All of these conditions, combined with countless others, are creating a volatile, uncertain atmosphere in America's health-related and pharmaceutical markets. Assessment of consumer knowledge becomes increasingly vital, and honed, strategic planning is necessary to sustain and expand current market shares.
