Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Pharmaceutical Lifecycle Management Strategies in 2017" report to their offering.

The report Pharmaceutical Lifecycle Management Strategies in 2017 provides a comprehensive assessment of product lifecycle (LCM) management strategies that are being implemented by pharmaceutical companies around the world.

Important challenges include pricing pressures, rising development costs, stringent regulatory and reimbursement policies, declining R&D productivity and drug patent cliffs (the immediate decline in sales after the patent expiration).

These issues, particularly the productivity gap, leave pharmaceutical companies exposed to generic and biosimilar competition, which can erode a significant percentage of their sales and market share within a short period of time. Companies risk losing up to 90% of the revenue of some of their biggest products to generic and biosimilar competition.
