Key Findings & Highlights:

The overall emphasis within pharmaceutical companies is now predominantly on revenue protection and generation, rather than on cost reduction, with pharmaceutical companies highly dependent on breaking into new markets, particularly in emerging geographies. For example, the extent of emphasis on increasing revenues from emerging markets is high for approximately 90% of pharmaceutical companies.

While cost reduction is highly emphasized by only 40% of pharmaceutical companies, pharmaceutical companies are experiencing rising costs, particularly within drug discovery and trials, but also within wider support functions.

Accordingly, the role of BPO in the pharmaceuticals industry is to ensure that a company's support processes are as effective as possible (including providing the geographic support needed to ramp up in emerging markets), and also as cost-effective as possible.
