A life sciences product landscape assessment – also known as a pharmaceutical landscape assessment for drug and biological products and a device landscape assessment for medical device products – arms Sponsors as well as investors with the necessary data to make informed decisions about product development, market entry, and strategic planning.  

Understanding the Competitive Landscape in Life Sciences

The life sciences industry is highly competitive. A market analysis is crucial for understanding the current state of the industry, including competitor activity, emerging trends, disease prevalence, treatment options, the regulatory landscape, and patient needs. 

Key Benefits of Conducting a Landscape Assessment

Five ways in which a landscape assessment is beneficial:

Market Opportunity Characterization

A landscape assessment identifies unmet medical needs, existing gaps in the market, and potential patient populations that could benefit from new treatment options.

Competitive Analysis

A landscape assessment identifies key competitors and evaluates the strengths and limitations of existing and emerging products thereby enabling Sponsors to better position their own products.

Strategic Decision Making

A landscape assessment helps Sponsors understand the current market so that they can identify the most promising therapeutic areas to focus on, assess the feasibility of new drug or product development projects, and make informed decisions regarding market entry strategies.

Risk Assessment and Mitigation

A landscape assessment analyzes the regulatory environments and potential barriers to market access enabling Sponsors to anticipate potential risks and develop appropriate mitigation strategies.

Investment Prioritization

A landscape assessment can highlight areas with the greatest potential for commercial success thereby streamlining development in a cost-efficient manner. 

The Role of Landscape Assessments in Healthcare Product Development

When developing a new healthcare product, each indication being considered presents a unique set of commercial opportunities (and significant risks!) that depend on the landscape assessment and the product’s (anticipated) profile.

Foundation of Successful Life Science Product Development

A landscape assessment is one of the foundations of life science product development because it provides critical information and knowledgeable insights into industry challenges that directly affect market entry and commercial viability.
