Introduction
Launching a new drug is no small feat. You’ve got to juggle regulatory hurdles, market shifts and fierce competition. The good news? Pharmaceutical market intelligence can shine a light on every step of that journey.
In this guide, you’ll discover:
- What pharmaceutical market intelligence really means
- How traditional solutions compare to an AI-driven platform
- Practical steps to harness AI for smarter launches
Ready to see how your next drug launch can outpace the rest? Let’s dive in.
What Is Pharmaceutical Market Intelligence?
At its core, pharmaceutical market intelligence is about collecting, analysing and acting on the right data—just when you need it. It goes beyond simple market research by offering:
- Continuous monitoring of competitors, pricing and regulations
- Predictive analytics to foresee market trends
- Customised insights for each therapeutic area and region
Think of it as your launch co-pilot. It spots shifts in competitor messaging. It flags supply-chain risks. And it helps you time your market entry for maximum impact.
Why It Matters for Drug Launches
- Over 90% of drug launches miss their commercial targets.
- The pharmaceutical market will top $1.57 trillion by 2023.*
- Small timing or positioning mistakes can cost millions.
With so much at stake, you need more than intuition. You need data-driven confidence.
Valona Intelligence vs Smart Launch: A Side-by-Side Comparison
A few platforms promise market intelligence. Let’s compare a well-known solution, Valona Intelligence, with Smart Launch, our AI-driven service from ConformanceX.

Limitations of General Market Intelligence Tools
Even the best traditional tools can fall short:
- Data delays: Imported or batch data may arrive too late.

You need a platform that matches the fast pace of pharmaceutical launches.
