The healthcare sector continues to grow at a rate faster than GDP. However, an increasing complexity throughout the sector has created significant challenges to maintaining growth. The roller coaster of ongoing demands for innovation, coupled with increasing price pressure, continues to pick up speed.
In healthcare today, scientific and technological frontiers are expanding at unprecedented rates—even as economic and financial pressures shrink profit margins, intensify competition and constrain the funds available for investment. Radical shifts are transforming how science understands and treats disease; how healthcare players specialize, partner and compete and the many ways patients increasingly view their role as consumers of their own healthcare.
Healthcare will be shaped in the future with fundamental changes in the following categories:
- Demand for healthcare services is rising rapidly, spurring cost-containment moves by payers and governmental agencies. This will only increase in the face of an ageing global population, an upsurge in chronic diseases and increasingly expensive therapies.
- Biopharmaceutical companies are challenging conventional pharma, creating a number of high-margin arenas in biopharmaceuticals. Providers of these protein-based treatments have targeted expanding sectors such as diabetes and oncology.
- Healthcare and pharmaceutical services, knowledge services including the outsourcing of strategic functions to contract research organizations and contract manufacturers is coming out as a self contained industry.
