Pharm Exec's 2025 State of the Industry Survey

Pharmaceutical Executive recently conducted an in-depth survey on the current landscape and potential outlook for the life sciences industry, drawing valuable feedback from top decision-makers in biopharma.

In this special slideshow presentation, we highlight those findings, capturing expert input on evolving industry trends—from business and innovation strategies, to policy and pricing shifts, to workforce challenges.

Data was collected during the period of Jan. 1 through March 16, 2025, and reflects responses from more than 90 participants. Marketing leaders and business unit/brand directors comprised the largest responder segment, at 21%. They were followed by those in R&D and clinical trials; consultants/vendors/investors; the pharma C-suite; the biotech C-suite; market access/patient support; regulatory and global affairs; and IT and data analytics.

Please note that the survey was conducted before the recent trade war materialized, including the very real threat of pharmaceutical tariffs, as well as any impacts borne out of recent US executive orders.
