Context

Among the most constrained in terms of safety and regulations, the Health sector is marked by an unprecedented health crisis which has further increased the pressure.

Actors Impacted By:

  • Changes in health policy: gradual reduction in reimbursement rates, additional stocks,
  • The emergence of new, more agile and digital players (Startup – biotechnology, etc.),
  • Increasingly strong regulations with specificities per country and the need to invest heavily to comply,
  • A transformation of professions with the arrival of digital and AI / Machine learning which are transforming the daily lives of teams (Operations, Supply Chain, AI, clinical trials, traceability, etc.),
  • Strong organizational and performance issues related to a very active sector: change of strategy, build-up, carve-out, business combination, active investment fund, etc.

Stakes

A Sector Where Each Player Has Their Own Constraints:

  • Medical devices: a constant search for technological leaps and innovation,
  • Pharmaceutical industry: strong pressure linked to generics, an explosion in costs, particularly in R&D, control of CDMOs in terms of sometimes complicated QCD, political pressure on the subject of strategic reindustrialization,
  • Hospitals/clinics: a sector heavily used by economic pressure but also the demands of the patient,
  • Home care: strong development, particularly due to the obligation to go on an outpatient basis for a large number of treatments, requiring an increase in-home care.

Agility is at the heart of the challenges for the entire healthcare industry.
