What are the key growth indicators for the global bio/pharmaceutical market in 2024 and over the next several years, and how will the industry perform over this time?  That is the trillion-dollar question for the bio/pharma industry.

DCAT Week’s flagship program, Pharma Industry Outlook, will answer that question by providing valuable market intelligence on the current and projected performance of the bio/pharma industry. Graham Lewis, Vice President of Global Pharma Strategy, IQVIA, a business intelligence firm regarded as the gold standard for bio/pharma market analysis, will provide the latest market data and trends.

COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics had been a boon for the industry, but with lower growth for these products, how will the industry perform relative to pre-pandemic growth trends? Is the industry’s performance trending upward or not? The program will examine the growth prospects and factors influencing performance for: innovator and generic drugs; leading therapeutic sectors, both pipelines and commercial products; and developed and emerging markets.
