SURVEY DETAILS

TARGET POPULATION

GLG interviewed 70 senior executives working in the pharmaceutical industry across Europe and US who discussed the impact of COVID-19 and the current trends for different key products.

What will you learn from this survey?

• Respondents provided their views on the current trends for different key products and discussed the impact of COVID-19 on R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, marketing promotions and business development.
• The survey also investigated the respondents’ projections for development in their key markets and therapeutic areas post-COVID-19.
• Lastly, the research looked at COVID-19 related changes/adaptations that are most likely to stay once the pandemic is over.

Examples of findings:

• In the US, 40% of respondents reported a significant negative COVID-19 impact on their sourcing/procurement activities, compared to 18% in Europe.
• 56% of experts stated “increased stock levels for key products” as the main COVID-19 related change/adaptation that is most likely to stay once the pandemic is over, followed by “shorter lead times for orders/supplies” (33%).
