Analysts’ Viewpoint on North America Pharmaceutical Contract Sales Outsourcing (CSO) Market Scenario
The pharmaceutical industry has been under pressure to improve production capabilities in vaccines and other efficient treatment options due to the coronavirus outbreak. Companies in the pharmaceutical contract sales outsourcing market are striving to meet consumer and healthcare facility demand. Pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. are opting for outsourced sales teams. They are outsourcing sales processes not only to save time and money, but also to ease the administrative burden on their management teams. Such trends are creating opportunities for participants in the pharmaceutical contract sales outsourcing market in North America. Businesses in the U.S. are investing significantly in R&D to develop contract intelligence platforms that accelerate drug trials in highly regulated promotional schemes. These factors are expected to drive the pharmaceutical contract sales outsourcing (CSO) market share in North America during the forecast period.
Contract sales organization (CSO) provides pharmaceutical marketing and sales services and solutions to pharmaceutical or biotech companies under contract. CSO deployment is a critical strategic decision in the fast-paced pharmaceutical industry. Outsourcing medical sales is critical for the commercialization process. It provides qualified teams with the ability to design and manage specialized projects when a project necessitates commercial solutions such as marketing, sales promotion activities, or training. Sales representatives provide drug information and sales messaging to healthcare professionals via in-person and remote channels. CSOs offer comprehensive non-commercial medical affairs solutions such as contract medical science liaisons and medical affairs consulting (MSL).
As per pharmaceutical contract sales outsourcing [CSO] market analysis, increase in R&D and other operating costs in the pharmaceutical industry is inducing medium and large pharmaceutical companies to outsource sales operations in order to control costs, achieve better results, and maintain operational flexibility. This is expected to propel the pharmaceutical contract sales outsourcing (CSO) market growth in North America during the forecast period.
Several medium-sized and large-sized pharmaceutical companies are outsourcing sales operations due to the rise in R&D and other operating costs. The formation of a sales team comes at a hidden cost in terms of talent selection, customer support, IT sales force, and compliance. Contract sales outsourcing (CSO) offers knowledge of local healthcare authorities, key account management, and market access. This has led to a greater reliance on CSOs in the past few years. The trend is anticipated to continue in the near future. While having no effect on its own operations, CSOs assist companies in addressing key market segments with the appropriate kind of sales representatives, and scaling up and down as the market demands. Businesses can cut costs on resources, infrastructure, and other overhead expenses by outsourcing. Several large pharma companies have undergone a significant shift in outsourcing motivations, even though cost reduction is still the primary driver of outsourcing in the industry as a whole.
Improved and advanced services in non-personal promotions as a result of CSO are expected to drive the market during the forecast period. Large and small pharmaceutical companies are opting for drugs that are cost-effective and can enter their pipelines quickly. CSO plays an important role in this endeavor. Increase in usage of virtual detailing in outsourcing services is driving the reliance on CSO services. Surge in usage of tele-detailng is augmenting non-personal promotion of outsourcing. All of these advanced functions, including pharmaceutical outsourced sales force and customer support, are well-established in a CSO and can thus assist a brand in gaining market recognition quickly. The emphasis is on digitally transforming operations. The traditional approach to outsourcing was a straightforward transaction aimed at generating marginal efficiencies. Companies would assign well-defined tasks to providers, who were paid on a time-and-materials basis. Providers took on more complex processes and were paid based on the results and various technology solutions used. Outsourcing facilitates significant transformation of operations through digitalization (such as natural-language processing, robotic process automation, or AI).
In terms of service, the pharmaceutical contract sales outsourcing (CSO) market in North America has been classified into personal promotion, non-personal promotion, and others. Non-personal promotion is the fastest growing segment of the market in North America. Majority of brands' omnichannel marketing strategies include non-personal promotion as a key strategy. From restricted access in healthcare provider (HCP) offices to vacant or whitespace territories, limited face time with HCP customers is a frequent challenge. Just as the budget for non-personal promotion has increased, so have the expectations of HCP customers. Consumers are choosing to interact only with brands that offer the most pertinent content, as they are pressed for time and inundated with promotional materials. Non-personal interactions that are successful must benefit the customer specifically. This calls for a methodical, effective, considerate, and individualized strategy. In turn, this is likely to augment the non-personal promotion segment in the near future.
Based on therapeutic area, the pharmaceutical contract sales outsourcing (CSO) market in North America has been segregated into cardiovascular disorders, oncology, metabolic disorders, neurology, orthopedic diseases, infectious diseases, and others. Increase in patient population with different types of cancer is expected to drive the segment during the forecast period. Contract services were essential to the COVID-19 response. However, sharp decline in the disease prevalence has induced contract research organizations (CROs) and contract development & manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) to refocus their efforts on the creation of medicines to treat oncological and other diseases. For instance, in April 2022, LabCorp and Xcell Biosciences collaborated to support the development of cell and gene therapies by the latter company for the treatment of cancer, Parkinson's disease, and other uncommon diseases. Such CDMO initiatives are likely to increase the demand for outsourcing of drug formulation development for the treatment of cancer.
The pharmaceutical contract sales outsourcing (CSO) market in North America is consolidated, with the presence of a small number of leading players. Most of the companies are investing significantly in R&D activities, primarily to introduce advanced pharmaceutical contract sales outsourcing (CSO) in the region. Key players are engaging in strategic alliances to increase revenue and market share. Furthermore, diversification of product portfolios and mergers & acquisitions are the key strategies adopted by the players. Ashfield (UDG Healthcare plc), Granard Pharmaceutical Sales & Marketing, Syneos Health, Amplity Health, IQVIA, and EVERSANA are the prominent players operating in the pharmaceutical contract sales outsourcing (CSO) market in North America.
