Two-thirds of the CEOs in the pharmaceutical and life sciences sector<br />

say they are concerned about direct and indirect competition from both<br />

traditional and newcomers.<br />

PwC <strong>Turkey</strong> Health, <strong>Pharma</strong>ceutical and Life Sciences Industry Leader<br />

Ediz Günsel said the followings in his assessment of the results; “21.<br />

According to the results of the Global CEO Survey, CEOs’ optimism<br />

towards economic growth is increasing; 51% of the leaders are quite<br />

optimistic. On the other hand, CEOs are more cautious about growth in<br />

their own sectors, and the CEOs, who say they are confident that their<br />

income will increase in the next 12 months, is 63% in 2017, and this<br />

rate has decreased to 46% this year. Research shows us that drug and<br />

life science CEOs are well aware of the obstacles they face, despite the<br />

optimism about the economy and the future of their own companies.<br />

They can overcome sectorial challenges by correctly identifying how to<br />

overcome these barriers to continue to be successful. In order to continue<br />

growing, companies will need to produce proven new and better medicines<br />

and correct pricing. In addition, industry players need to gain the right<br />

skills to the right people in order to benefit from the wind created by<br />

technical changes.” He said.<br />

Change in the door<br />

One of the issues that concern the CEOs of the pharmaceutical and life<br />

sciences sector is the increased pressure on results in a short time. 71%<br />

of the CEOs surveyed said they were concerned about this issue. Those<br />

who buy health services are waiting for more advanced services than ever<br />

before.<br />

With the increase in drug costs, buyers expect drug companies to prove<br />

the effectiveness of their treatment. Large pharmaceutical companies<br />

perform their activities at a faster and lower cost to protect their<br />

competitiveness; it seems to have to offer more value for the same fee and<br />

create a more proactive approach with patients and doctors both in terms<br />

of healthy life and treatment.<br />

Digitization and workforce<br />

The leaders in the pharmaceutical and life sciences sector are aware<br />

that they need to further increase their speed of digitization. The future<br />

of brands that use technologies that are result-oriented and connect<br />

with patients is brighter, especially when they can show the benefits of<br />

their products in real time. In order to achieve all this, companies must<br />

attract the right talents. However, 60% of CEOs in the industry say they are<br />

concerned about the level of digital skills in their workforce, while 57% say<br />

that attracting digital skills is partly or very difficult.<br />

Kapıdaki değişim<br />

İlaç ve yaşam bilimleri sektörü<br />

CEO’larını endişelendiren konulardan<br />

biri de kısa sürede sonuç elde etme<br />

konusundaki baskının artmış olması.<br />

Araştırmaya katılan CEO’ların %71’i bu<br />

konudan endişe duyduğunu belirtiyor.<br />

Sağlık hizmetlerini satın alanlar<br />

ödedikleri ücret karşılığında bugüne<br />

kadar hiç olmadığı kadar ileri düzeyde<br />

hizmet bekliyor.<br />

İlaç maliyetlerindeki artış ile birlikte<br />

alıcılar, ilaç şirketlerinin tedavilerinin<br />

etkinliğini kanıtlamalarını bekliyor.<br />

Büyük ilaç şirketleri rekabet<br />

güçlerini korumak için faaliyetlerini<br />

daha hızlı ve daha düşük maliyetle<br />

gerçekleştirirken; aynı ücret<br />

karşılığında daha fazla değer sunmak<br />

ve hem sağlıklı yaşam açısından hem<br />

de tedavide hasta ve doktorlar ile<br />

birlikte daha proaktif bir yaklaşım<br />

oluşturmak zorunda kalacak gibi<br />

duruyor.<br />

Dijitalleşme ve iş gücü<br />

İlaç ve yaşam bilimleri sektörü<br />

liderleri dijitalleşme hızlarını daha da<br />

artırmaları gerektiğinin farkındalar.<br />

Özellikle ürünlerinin faydalarını gerçek<br />

zamanlı olarak gösterebilen, sonuç<br />

odaklı ve hastalarla bağlantı kurabilen<br />

teknolojiler kullanan markaların<br />

geleceği daha parlak. Tüm bunları<br />

başarabilmek için de şirketlerin doğru<br />

yetenekleri kendilerine çekmesi<br />

gerekiyor. Bununla birlikte sektördeki<br />

CEO’ların %60’ı işgüçlerindeki dijital<br />

becerilerin seviyesi hakkında endişeli<br />

olduğunu belirtirken, %57’si ise dijital<br />

becerileri cezbetmenin kısmen ya da<br />

çok zor olduğunu söylüyor.<br />
