Manufacturing

A combination of regulatory, market, scientific, and technological forces is likely to mean that pharmaceutical manufacturing will undergo rapid change in the next five to ten years. There is a need for companies to consistently align investment with their vision of the manufacturing that will be needed in the future. We can help companies achieve the change required and their goals by utilising our firm's in-depth industry expertise.

Supply chain & distribution

Today companies are concerned about the cost and efficiency of their supply chain. We work with our clients to help them identify options such as outsourcing of manufacturing and distribution at an early stage of the business and product planning process.

Commercial operations

In the current environment of poor product pipelines and broader customer bases, the traditional sales and marketing model of driving revenue with ever larger sales forces is no longer sustainable. PwC can work with you to develop and implement a commercial model considering all important factors such as targeting sales and marketing resources accordingly to the customer needs and the relevant regulations – on a global, regional and local affiliate level.

Corporate & financial strategy

Companies are addressing important questions about existing and future revenue generation, and how to align operational and financial tactics to enable their chosen corporate strategy. We are working with our clients to explore strategic options and begin the process today of restructuring their business for tomorrow.

Information Technology

Together with our clients, we use a combination of industry and technology expertise to develop process improvements that assist you in getting value from technology investments.

Regulatory & compliance environment

The Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences industries are among the most heavily regulated industries in the world. We work with our clients to audit and develop management systems which enable greater transparency across the firm, inform the development of new approaches to a broad range of regulatory compliance, risk management procedures and help improve performance.

Research & development

We work closely with our clients to help formulate a new strategy for success and achieve increased performance by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the company’s R&D operations.

Tax and Regulatory Consulting

The tax environment, especially in Pharma & Life Sciences, is continually changing. It’s becoming more difficult to comply with tax, legal and regulatory requirements in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Our deep knowledge and well-connected global network allow us to react quickly and help our clients with their daily business challenges or on unique projects.
