Case Study: Novel Device Commercialization
Project Background
Client
- The client is a Europe based firm involved in designing, developing and manufacturing of drug delivery systems. Within its portfolio of devices, it has two novel drug reconstitution systems in the early stages of development.
- The client envisioned commercializing these devices in the near future. However, before commercialization, it was keen to assess the market’s potential and determine its relative product positioning against / across other novel devices under development.
- The primary intention of the client was to identify a winning strategy aligned with its core competencies and overcome market barriers to drive widespread adoption.
Objective
- To do a comprehensive product mapping of novel drug reconstitution devices highlighting the product competitiveness and relative comparison across technical and user-friendliness features.
- To identify the overall market opportunity for novel systems, specially highlighting emerging pockets of growth when new systems emerge from investigational use for wider adoption.
- To recommend Key Performance Indicators and Key Success Factors based on product benchmarking, competitive intensity, patient preferences and market positioning
