Foreword
Few could have predicted the global events leading up to this year’s
EvaluatePharma World Preview 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has cast a long
shadow over the pharmaceutical industry – which is battling to find treatments –
and indeed over all the citizens of the world, who are adjusting to new ways of
living and working.
The long-term impact of the pandemic on the biopharma industry is still largely
unknown. As such, many of the forecasts in this year’s report will have been
made in something of a vacuum.
Some of the economic and social disruptions have already been felt, however.
Physical distancing and lockdown measures across the world have translated
into fewer doctor visits, the cancellation of routine operations and delays to
many patients starting new treatments.
Hundreds of clinical trials have been mothballed and trial readouts delayed;
smaller developers in particular are exposed here, as they rely on fresh data
for financial injections and partnering agreements. M&A transactions have also
stalled, as company executives get to grips with international travel bans and
virtual due diligence.
But the longer the disruption, the more likely it becomes that regulatory decisions
will slow, as agencies grapple with their own staffing issues.
Then there is the wider macro-economic picture. The loss of jobs and productivity
means that many are predicting a global economic recession, leaving governments
and individuals with less to spend on healthcare. The situation in the US, the
world’s biggest healthcare market, could have the biggest repercussions for the
sector, as a ballooning unemployment rate shifts millions of citizens from private
insurance coverage.
Investors, however, have largely shrugged off the pandemic risks, with the
potential seen in experimental COVID-19 treatments apparently outweighing any
short-term hits to performance.

Foreword
At this stage, most large drug makers are working on the basis of a return to
business as usual by the end of the year. EvaluatePharma predicts that prescription
drug sales will grow 3.7% this year, to $904bn.
It is not hard to find healthy levels of growth throughout this report, driven by
demand for the new therapies that the biopharma sector is pushing through its
pipeline. The need for effective and innovative ways to treat disease is something
that even a global pandemic will not blunt.
