February 2012
rnThe business model of the pharmaceutical industry with a third party and often public payer has always puzzled people. The patients who benefit from treatment with a medicine pay part or even nothing of the cost. Within this constrained environment, pricing is more important than ever. To set a price too high may block market access, to set a price too low will leave money on the table.

A current analysis of McKinsey shows that over the years, real price increases – rewarding past innovation and changes in ways for treating patients – have been the main driver of the pharmaceutical industry’s development. Less attention has been paid to managing the cost base. Lowering the profit margins will suggest a need for new business models.
