Digital Transformation and Emerging Technologies in the Healthcare Industry Overview

The pharmaceutical industry is undergoing constant changes resulting from declining profit margins, cost pressure, and the need to replenish pipelines and maximize peak sales, while at the same time meeting stringent regulatory and legislative requirements. Although the adoption of innovative technologies can ease these pressures, digitalization is a challenging, time-consuming, investment-heavy process that requires continuous commitment and open dialogues with various stakeholders, from employees to investors to regulatory bodies.

Most surveyed healthcare industry professionals confirmed that they already had a digital transformation strategy in place or were working towards one. Additionally, more than 70% of healthcare professionals believe that the COVID-19 pandemic had the greatest impact on digital transformation in the healthcare sector. A significant portion of these professionals also believe that the digital transformation has accelerated due to the pandemic.

It appears that more organizations are seeking to embrace emerging technologies to remain competitive, as technological uptake brings a broad range of benefits to organizations, such as improved efficiency of their operations, increased engagement with customers, and enhanced long-term resilience to changes in business conditions that may occur.

The Digital Transformation and Emerging Technologies in the Healthcare Industry report provides scope, challenges, and essentials for digital transformation within the healthcare industry. The report explores how innovations are transforming the healthcare industry and what impact on the sector these technologies will have soon.

Digital Transformation Strategies in the Healthcare Sector

The percentage of respondents having an enterprise-wide digital strategy in place has increased since 2019, reaching the highest percentage this year since the survey tracker was first launched. Similarly, in 2022, R&D and sales & marketing were chosen to benefit the most from digital transformation, across all surveyed regions. R&D is one of the most complex and capital-intensive activities in pharma. Incorporation of innovative technologies can help R&D to address productivity challenges, enhance efficiency, and improve the drug development process.

Emerging technologies can also assist in enhancing the marketing and sales process. They can improve data collection and processing, and timely insights on users’ behaviors and preferences that can help deliver more effective marketing campaigns or more accurate sales forecasts. Implementation of technologies in this area can help to understand better customer behavior, anticipate their actions, and enhance customer outcomes.

Digital Transformation Objectives in the Healthcare Sector

To cement a place in a competitive business environment and cope with the impact of various macro events, pharma companies seek to improve and enhance their operations with the adoption of innovative technologies. In 2023, operations enablement and innovation were selected as the main scope of digital transformation. In fact, it has been the main digital transformation objective for the past three years. Innovation helps organizations to move forward, drive growth, build resilience, and remain relevant in this ever-changing business environment.

Furthermore, inflation can act both as a catalyst and a hindrance to digitalization efforts. While some businesses may use digital transformation and adoption of technology solutions as a long-term strategy to combat rising costs, some may pause investment in technologies to concentrate on short-term, more urgent business needs.

GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
