Molecule selection
IMS helps clients make optimal selections through commercial evaluations and bulk active sourcing strategies. Understanding the commercial potential of a product is fundamental to healthy growth. IMS helps clients address such key issues as:
- Understanding the competitive landscape
- Determining the size of the market
- Identifying the key formulations
- Assessing likely price evolution
- By bringing to bear its data, applications and consulting services, including emerging market evaluations, API sourcing and competitor assessments, IMS can support investment strategies in new therapy areas.
IMS can also address some key questions around bulk active sourcing, and new offerings are being developed to evaluate existing and new potential strategies for competitive advantage. Bulk sourcing strategies answer such questions as:
- Who are the API manufacturers?
- Who meets our quality and regulatory requirements?
- What are the key dosage forms?
- Should we partner, in/out licence or go it alone?

- Where to source the finished product?
- Who are the key players in this market?
