  • VIEW TOC AND LIST OF EXHIBITS
Top pharma and biotech manufacturers have built launch systems which effectively assess launch performance and mitigate the risks associated with overspending or underfunding critical programs. These top performers are a minority, however, as most launch teams around the industry struggle to develop a strong product launch evaluation process and system to drive successful market entry.

Best Practices, LLC undertook this benchmarking research to help launch leaders identify and evaluate the performance measures used for successful pharmaceutical product launches. This report also reviews the role of forecasting in evaluating launch success, and examines the critical success factors and lessons learned for launching new pharmaceutical products in the 2020s.

Study Snapshot

Best Practices, LLC engaged 37 leaders from 33 biopharmaceutical companies in this research through a benchmarking survey.

Key topics covered in this report include:

  • Understand Product Launch Evaluation Process
  • Determine Role of Forecasting in Evaluating Success
  • Identify Key Performance Measures Used
  • Review Importance of Specific Launch Evaluation Performance Measures
  • Describe Process and Timetable for Recalibration of Launch Targets

Key Findings

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

  • Most companies lock in forecasts a year before launch and adjust performance targets, if necessary, every 6 months after launch:
    • Because forecasts often serve as commitments to the firm’s financial plan, they cannot be adjusted easily.
    • For the same reasons, greater-than-expected success can lead to complacency.
    • Large pharma locks in forecast 11 months prior to launch while small-mid sized pharma 13 months before launch.
    • Post-launch, large pharma re-calibrate targets every 6 months while small-mid pharma does it every 5 months.
