About This Course

Objective of the course: To be able to get an insight into pharma product pricing strategies and apply the same in your professional career.

With the increase in R&D expenditure & rising demand for new specialty medicines, healthcare systems worldwide are facing tremendous increases in the cost for each patient treated with novel drugs. India has a hard-line stance on regulating drug prices by the government agencies which encourages generic competition. Strict price controls and a permissive attitude to the development of generic versions of branded drugs for the domestic market sometimes acts as a deterrent for R&D firms to gain commercial success, but it also put India firmly on the global map of affordable generic suppliers & one of the world’s leading providers of low-cost medicines. Today’s brand team must walk the tight-rope of patient affordability & sustaining profit margins.

This Course on Product Pricing Strategy by DocMode is designed to help brand managers, management trainees and PMT teams to understand each aspect of revenue, gross contribution, net margins, pricing models, and creating compelling value propositions to deliver a successful launch & win market share.
