Inpharmation takes an evidence-based approach to international reference pricing (IRP) forecasts, this means all our services:
  • Capture the full complexity of the reference pricing system.
  • Communicate forecast drivers using clear and simple rules, not vague assumptions.
  • Are engineered for efficiency and stability.
The world’s leading pharma companies work with Inpharmation when they need international pricing forecasts built upon a solid evidence-base, including:
  • International reference pricing rules database with full global coverage.
  • The industry-leading strategic IRP strategy simulator.
  • The industry-leading launch optimization engine.

Inpharmation’s international reference pricing simulators have been developed over two decades specifically for the strategic analysis requirements of global pharma pricing and market access teams. Because 7 of the top-10 countries, ranked by pharmaceutical sales, use IRP as part of the pricing and reimbursement agreement process, no pricing strategy can ignore the impact of reference pricing.
