Pharmaceutical Contract Sales Outsourcing (CSO) Market Dynamics:

Market Drivers:

“Increase in the number of pharmaceutical companies”

Since the coronavirus pandemic, the rise in the number of pharmaceutical companies and other healthcare service-providing companies has been substantial. In fact, not just the number of companies, the existing companies are also adding more brands to their company. In this scenario, where there are developments and innovations each day, the demand for CSO is projected to increase. These new-age companies do not want to go door-to-door to sell their products. Instead, they prefer to outsource such tedious tasks and focus their energy on improving existing products and adding new products

“Dynamic market with innovations every day”

The pharmaceutical industry, as mentioned before, is dynamic in nature. For the sales staff to be effective, they need to be educated regularly on the innovations in the market. This is a costly task and does not guarantee any success. Thus, companies are now opting to outsource their sales functions through CSO. With such an outsourcing process, these companies will gain access to a talented pool of employees at no fixed cost whatsoever. Thus, this is estimated to boost the demand for CSO.

“Improvement in the quality of services provided”

Outsourcing has been an activity in commerce since the very onset of commerce. However, the services provided by Contract Sales Organizations today are unparalleled. These organizations provide proper reports on the sales conducted, the SKUs, the team force, etc. This improvement in the quality of services provided makes the process of outsourcing easy and it also helps the outsourcing company to monitor and have control over the sales process.

 

Market Restraints:

“Lower control over the process”

Pharmaceutical Contract Sales Outsourcing (CSO) has been in trend recently. However, as is the case with all other types of outsourcing, in CSO as well the control that the outsourcing company has over the sales process is very limited. While outsourcing organizations try to include the outsourcing company in all decision-making processes, the control is still substantially lower when compared to an in-house sales team. Moreover, the outflow of sensitive data from outsourcing companies and the chances of a data leak also restrict some companies from CSO.

“Improper selection can lead to a decline in sales”

If CSO is done to a company that has no experience and connections in the pharmaceutical industry or has experience in a different vertical of the pharmaceutical industry, the results can dive down. Therefore, proper research on the company to which outsourcing is done must be conducted before committing to CSO.

 

Market Opportunities:

“Increasing general awareness to maintain a strong immune system”

The coronavirus pandemic has brought a huge shift not just in the pharmaceutical industry, but also in people’s perspectives on their health. People post-pandemic have realized the importance of a strong immune system and thus the demand for medicines and other healthcare devices has skyrocketed. Pharmaceutical companies also have ramped up their production and research and development expenses. To fill this gap between consumers and suppliers, Contract Sales Organizations are needed. This gives a great window of opportunity to get involved in this market to reap the benefits in the future.
