Rising number of healthcare start-ups and increasing focus on R&D market are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.    

Over the last decade, the pharmaceutical industry has witnessed many transformational trends and innovations that will rapidly improve the medicines available to patients around the world. In just ten years, the influence of artificial intelligence and big data on diagnosing and treating disease and a shift toward preventing life-threatening conditions rather than medicating them lead to evolution of healthcare. With the evolution of recent technologies, new entrants initiate several health start-ups, thereby influencing the mid-size pharmaceutical market. For Instance: Alpha zyme was founded in 2018 by Christopher Benoit, an expert in enzyme development and production. In October 2020, Alp zyme partnered with Qualio to facilitate the company’s growth.

Unlike large pharmaceutical companies, medium-sized pharmaceutical companies are usually not constrained by huge overheads and bureaucracy. However, these companies have a narrow business focus and can focus on specific areas of drug development. This allows them to focus primarily on illnesses too small for larger competitors to attack. Additionally, healthcare systems rapidly transform healthcare models with online access and tools for patient involvement, remote monitoring, and other virtual care modalities. In recent years, partnerships between the pharmaceutical industry and digital health companies have increased significantly. These commercial deployment deals are aimed at digitally-enabled pharmaceutical products, creating new companies, or multibillion-dollar acquisitions. Thus, pharma companies are a growing part of the digital health boom providing a significant growth opportunity for the mid-size pharmaceutical market in the coming years.
