Study Snapshot

This report provides benchmarks and insights specific to the APAC region. The data from this study is drawn from a larger global pool of field leaders, featuring 448 survey responses from 100+ biopharma manufacturers worldwide. The data is meticulously segmented at the region and country level to provide nuanced insights.

Best Practices, LLC also leveraged its propriety Field Medical Excellence database to provide additional benchmarks tailored to align with diverse portfolio considerations.

Key topics covered in this report include:

  • Effective Field Performance Metrics in APAC
  • Framework for Field Medical Excellence
  • KOL Targeting and Engagement Levels in APAC
  • Average MSL Time Allocation for KOL Interactions and Internal Activities
  • APAC Field Medical Staffing Footprint
  • Key Lessons Learned for Measuring MSL Impact in APAC

Key Findings

Select key insights uncovered from this report are noted below. Detailed findings are available in the full report.

  • APAC Engagement Mix: In the Asia-Pacific region, engagement heavily focuses on Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), constituting 65% of the overall focus, one of the highest proportions globally. Notably, field engagement in Australia places a significantly higher emphasis on KOLs, while in Japan and China, engagement is oriented towards both KOLs and Healthcare Professionals (HCPs).
  • APAC Panel Size: MSLs in the Asia-Pacific region typically support an average of 27 tiered KOLs and 29 non-tiered KOLs, indicating a balanced approach to engagement across different levels of influence.
