Pharma
The pharmaceutical industry is expected to grow by more than 50% in the next 5 years. Many pharma companies are at an early stage in terms of taking advantage of digitalisation. Novicell helps with solid industry knowledge and by transforming potential into solutions.
Health and digitalisation - two inextricably linked words. The potential is enormous. Pharma constitutes a subset of the untapped digital potential. The Pharma industry is broadly categorised into over-the-counter drugs and prescription drugs with 15% and 85% of global sales respectively. The pharmaceutical industry is an industry with low visibility on online channels. Many pharma companies have traditionally conducted business via classic B2B sales channels, where distributors and sales agents have played the vital role in the sales process. However, digitalisation offers new opportunities to reach end customers with business models based on Direct-To-Consumer (D2C) solutions and sales of over-the-counter medicines online.

Important digital trends in the pharma industry
Customer behaviour is moving towards "Digital First" rather than "Doctor First"
Amazon has, among other things, acquired PillPack in 2020, rebranded as Amazon Pharmacy in the USA, but with a business model that may have the potential to be transferred to Europe. Already two pan-European online pharmacists have each achieved EUR 1 billion in annual turnover
Direct-to-consumer
We see Direct-To-Consumer (D2C) business models challenging existing B2B sales, especially where there are strong brands with high-frequency use
ePrescriptions
The sale of prescription medicine is regulated by law. ePrescriptions across EU countries are expected to be fully implemented in 2025
