Recalibrating the Pharmaceutical Services Opportunity
INTERPHEX 2013: Global bio/pharmaceutical companies are replacing their low-percentage strategy of “maximizing shots on goal” with more rigorous criteria for graduating candidates into the development pipeline. While they’ve become more selective, early stage companies have faced more challenges gaining financing. The combined effect of these two trends has been to reduce the number of candidates coming through the pipeline and tilt the game more in favor of larger bio/pharma companies. These new dynamics have serious implications for contract service providers. Only a relative handful will qualify to work with the largest bio/pharma companies, and those that don’t win preferred provider status will be fighting over a smaller market. Download these slides from Jim Miller’s INTERPHEX 2013 presentation for insight into the implications for contract service providers.
