About ACI's Life Sciences Business Development and Acquisitions in Emerging Markets
The rise of high-performing emerging countries is forming new growth markets for the pharmaceutical industry and overturning the established order. As a result, companies are changing strategies, and remodeling their operations to enter these markets. Experts estimate that during the coming decade, the emerging markets will drive 90 percent of the world's pharmaceutical growth. Opportunities in these countries and the high cost of doing R&D are causing established manufacturers to shift away from the traditional blockbuster drug model. Business development strategies are currently being developed with a focus on driving sales to new consumer populations, and using partnerships and M&A to fill product pipelines. Emerging markets have become the new frontier, as sales stagnate in established markets and top-selling products face patent expiration. Success in these rapidly changing countries will depend on building successful alliances and negotiating favorable transactions. Attend ACI's Life Sciences Business Development and Acquisitions in Emerging Markets and learn how to devise and implement the most effective strategies so that your company shares in the profits that will go to the savvy players that can capitalize on the changing environment.
