Case Study: Optimizing Pharmaceutical Pricing Strategy through Advanced Customer Segmentation Analysis

Business Challenge

The client, a global pharmaceutical company, was grappling with inefficiencies in their pharmaceutical pricing strategy amidst a highly competitive and regulated market. Their existing drug pricing models were not adequately addressing the varied needs of different customer segments, leading to either underpricing or overpricing of their products. This created significant challenges in maintaining pharmaceutical cost optimization while staying competitive in the face of generic drug pricing pressures and regulatory constraints.

Limited Buyer Insights

Ineffective Segmentation Models
