Our client, an investment management fund, commissioned PMR to conduct analysis of the pharmaceutical distribution market in Russia.

Aim of market analysis

The goal of this project was the analysis of key distribution market players, market trends on the wholesale and retail pharmaceutical market.

PMR method

A particularly important element of the study was collecting unique distribution market information on market past and future trends and assessment of the influence of those trends on companies present on the market. The study also included an analysis of other distribution channels (online and non-pharmacy), and sales strategies of pharmaceuticals through them.
