The Evolving Landscape of Pharma Market Access

The global pharmaceutical market topped $1.42 trillion USD in 2021 and is projected to hit $1.57 trillion USD by 2023 (Statista). Yet despite this growth, nearly 90% of drug launches fall short of commercial expectations. Why? Several factors stand in the way of smooth pharma market access:

• Regulatory complexity across regions
• Fragmented data sources and manual processes
• Inconsistent market intelligence and competitor tracking
• High costs and potential delays

For SMEs, these challenges can be even more daunting. Limited internal resources and budgets make streamlined, accurate consulting crucial. And that’s where AI-powered solutions come in—offering real-time visibility and predictive foresight.

Registitute: Traditional Regulatory Consulting

Registitute has built a solid reputation in the pharma market access arena. They offer deep expertise in Chemistry, Manufacturing & Controls (CMC), regulatory submissions and clinical trial alignment—especially across MENA regions.

Strengths

• Established relationships with global and regional health authorities
• Comprehensive CMC documentation support
• Product lifecycle management from R&D to commercialisation

Limitations

• Heavy reliance on manual processes
• Limited real-time data analysis
• Reactive rather than predictive approach
• Potential for approval delays when market conditions shift

In short, Registitute and similar firms deliver essential guidance—but they may struggle to provide the real-time, data-driven insights that agile pharma companies need.
