Partnerships, patients and data Strategic transformation is at the core of life science companies as they build new business models for the future. To accelerate change, focus will be on developing innovative and relationship-driven partnerships and creating real value for patients. Data is now the currency of life sciences, and mobilizing data throughout the enterprise, transforming work, and using technology symbiotically will be fundamental to advancing digital transformation. In 2019, the life sciences sector will see a strategic rise of the digital mindset and further adoption of transformative technologies. While traditional investment vehicles, like mergers & acquisitions, can expect a sharper focus, external innovation can become a meaningful culture change-agent through innovative and creative partnerships with new entrants and nontraditional players.

Chart 1

The digital age requires more transparency and disclosure and a need for real relationship-driven partnerships will extend to all sector stakeholders—patients, advocacy groups, and regulators —and also to outsourcing vendors critical to the supply chain. Data will be the force behind new revenue models and crucial to understanding and delivering an exceptional patient experience. Continued pricing pressures, increasing access to drugs, growth of gene and cell therapies, and uncertain trade policies will further change the dynamics of the market. The 2019 Global Life Sciences Outlook gives insights into the global life sciences economy and reviews the trends impacting

The outlook provides suggestions for stakeholders to deal with the changing global economy and discusses examples from the market. The report also provides leaders with key questions and actions to consider in the year ahead. See Chart 1. Global life sciences sector issues in 2019

STRATEGIC FOCUS ON DEALMAKING AND EXTERNAL INNOVATION In 2019, biopharma faces a compelling strategic imperative for external innovation. The simultaneous hunt for next gen medicines

Strategic focus on deal-making and external innovation

External innovation is likely to continue to be a strategic focus for pharma companies that may face patent expiries, competition from generics and biosimilars, weak new drug pipelines, and growing technology needs

Licensing

Leads deal-making, constituting 93 percent of deals 93%

M&A

Even with a mega-deal to start 2019, companies are expected to go back to their core, possibly shedding non-core assets, and likely doubling down on therapeutic focus.

Joint ventures

against declining R&D returns make external deals a key innovation source for companies. It is likely to be the dawn of a new age of deal-making, especially, for companies looking to take the lead in next-generation therapies. Large, transformative acquisitions in the US$60-70 billion range defined 2018 and the beginning of 2019. This year, we will see an increase in appetite for mid-sized strategic transactions that complement a company’s core and shedding of non-core assets. See Chart 2. KEY TAKEAWAY: Companies need to aim to strengthen their R&D pipeline through mergers and acquisitions, licensing, and strategic partnerships. However, this year, the transactions are likely to be more complex with innovative structuring, as opposed to the conventional framework. While companies may be rearranging portfolios based on pricing controls, acquisitions are expected to be very strategic with a focus on core therapies or specialties. As a result, a lot of activity is also expected in divestitures. Focus on new entrants As digitization continues to shape the corners of pharma, a new generation of startups and tech giants have emerged, disrupting the status quo and threatening pharma’s legacy culture. While pharma giants are investing in gene-based therapeutic solutions, more than 250 startups are already developing these therapies and building them around the patient. These startups could merge and form a whole new breed of company with a very different culture around innovation and life sciences. In 2019,

See Chart 3. ecosystem Digitization, no doubt, is helping establish a richly networked and collaborative ecosystem. While such a system provides an excellent scope for value creation, it also poses risks from unmonitored third-party activities. Data partners, the Internet of Things (IoT), and the growing Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) have constantly been warning about the surfacing cyber risks in pharma. Therefore, leaders are expected to develop management frameworks and partner with those having compatible risk profiles. Digitization of health care processes has also given way to mounting patient expectations. This essentially means that life sciences leaders should try to gain a deeper understanding of patient experiences and expectations when designing value chains. See Chart 4. KEY TAKEAWAY: While digitization brings in ample opportunities, it also exposes pharma companies to vulnerabilities like cyber threats, especially in a scenario where interdependency and collaboration are scaling. With digitization of tools and processes, patient expectations too have risen. Stakeholders should create coherent and meaningful experiences through the entire chain of patient interactions across all phases—from R&D and product launch to commercialization. Focus on outsourcing Pharmaceutical giants are moving to adopt strategic and relationship-based outsourcing models as opposed to the traditional transactional engagements. This will likely stimulate biologics and data-driven clinical innovation, and bolster manufacturing capacity. The upcoming year could see more outsourcing of expertise,

Sector growth driven by biopharmaceutical outsourcing is also a possibility. Strategic partnerships with academia and contract research organizations (CROs) indicate that companies are focusing on strengthening R&D capabilities. See Chart 5. KEY TAKEAWAY: Strategic, long-term partnerships are a requisite for pharma companies to streamline supply chain, better manage the capacity gap arising from the shift to biologics and personalized medicine, and thereby improve time-to-market. Sustaining close relationships with vendors is critical for maintaining compliant operations, because an oversight may cost pharma companies their reputation. Knowledge management is moving to the next level in the pharma space with advanced technologies like AI, machine learning, and IoT. Collaborating with new partners for transformation Digitization of health care has transformed the way patients, providers, and innovators interact. A highly patient-centric future is already surfacing and organized patient advocacy groups are playing an increasingly important role. In 2019, collaborative approaches will be key for working with patients and regulators, advancing drug development and the Internet of Medical Things. Large and small companies will also need to work together to minimize cyber risks in the ecosystem. See Chart 6. KEY TAKEAWAY: In this highly digitized and connected world where patients have

complete visibility into the experience they will be provided, it is imperative for companies to double the focus on customer experience. Companies should prioritize interpreting the burden of a disease on specific groups by building a culture where patients are partners, and not just consumers. Advanced technologies like AI can play a critical role here by helping pharma companies produce highly personalized solutions at competitive prices within shorter durations. Integrating connected medical devices into existing care pathways require collaboration across the IoMT ecosystem that

Data as being seen as a possible revenue generator, particularly in Medtech proach to digital transformation. All of these approaches require patient centricity. B2C thinking: Organizations aligning with how consumers respond to or use products or services—like digital health apps, telemedicine, wearable monitoring devices, etc. can design top-notch engagement strategies. Engagement tools: Patients who are informed about their condition and involved in their treatment decisions tend to have better health outcomes and typically incur lower costs. Focus on prevention and digital therapeutics: Digital therapeutics can be a new source of revenue for life sciences, potentially providing reimbursement through insurance plans in the same way as drugs or medical technologies. Opportunities to monetize data: The challenge for life sciences companies is building trust. 40 percent are willing to share their data for health care research or to improve a device. Fewer are willing to share information with device manufacturers. See Chart 9. KEY TAKEAWAY: Life sciences leaders are also looking to leverage advanced digital technologies to identify new revenue sources. The sector will likely need to harness the shift from product to service. Companies should have a vision for their role in the patient journey and the overall health care system.
