We are now halfway through 2025, and it’s not too late to highlight the practices and trends that are shaping and will continue to shape the biopharma landscape this year. In 2024, we navigated the 4 biopharma trends that exerted vehement force in the industry and shaped the course of healthcare practices. Last year, the biopharma industry was more inclined to adapt to emerging technologies like generative AI and next-generation gene therapy while adjusting to the challenges from the IRA and gathering real-world evidence for better brand positioning. In this article, we shall explore the trends that are redefining the frontiers of modern healthcare in biopharma.
Automation in Multiple Aspects
The integration of AI and ML in the biopharma industry has simplified multiple levels of operations that were earlier deemed to be convoluted. From expediting drug discovery and streamlining clinical trials to enhancing commercial excellence strategies, automation has found multiple sweet spots in every aspect of drug development and marketing. By 2025, it is expected that more than 30 % of the drug discoveries will be carried out via artificial intelligence. LLM models help biopharma companies harness a large volume of data with a single click. The easy-to-navigate models offer analysis, making the computation of complex data easier.
In a strategic partnership worth $1.2B, pharma leader Sanofi inked a multi-target research collaboration with Atomwise for AI-driven drug discovery.
Omnichannel Marketing Strategies
It employs a customer-centric approach to provide a positive and consistent brand experience across multiple channels. Omnichannel marketing strategies are widely infused across multiple domains, including biopharma. The biopharma industry utilizes omnichannel marketing strategies to enhance HCPs’ engagement and patient experience, drive decision-making, and optimize revenue generation. Omnichannel marketing is now ubiquitously embedded in the strategies of leading biopharma companies and those looking to outperform in this fast-paced biopharma industry.
Dominance of Emerging Technologies
Emerging technologies, like CAR T-Cell therapy, antibodies, and immunocytokines, are gradually establishing strong grounds in preclinical and clinical trials. Big players facing LOEs are shifting their focus to emerging technologies to expand their drug portfolios and ensure long-term sustenance. Evaluating past 10 years trends, we saw a surge in early-stage biopharma companies, starting with the focus on emerging technologies.
Holistic Patient-Centric Approach
The trend focuses on including patients in decision-making by prioritizing their needs, preferences, and values. Driven by digital advancement, where transparency governs, patient-centric care is the need of the present. By integrating a holistic patient-centric approach, the biopharma industry can upscale its brand value and maximize its profits.
Conclusions & Perspectives
Automation and omnichannel strategies continue to transform the biopharma industry at a dramatic pace. Emerging technologies like precision medicine and CAR T cell therapies are redefining personalized care like never before. Streamlined clinical trials and enhanced patient engagement through a holistic patient-centric approach are gradually transitioning the healthcare system into a more flexible and resilient model as compared to traditional practices.
