Evidence-based Parallel Trade forecasting

For the past two decades, Inpharmation has championed an approach to strategic international parallel trade and pricing analysis that is built upon a solid evidence-base. The extent of parallel trade for a given pharmaceutical depends upon:

  • The price differentials amongst countries: parallel traders obviously prefer large differentials.
  • The sales value of the pharmaceutical in question: parallel traders prefer to target bigger selling products.
  • The countries involved: some countries are particularly susceptible.
  • Supply constraints and distribution limitations in the exporting country.

The resulting levels of parallel trade between countries are relatively predictable and are described by a set of “power laws” known as the “parallel trade equations”.

Powerful parallel trade modelling can be provided as part of Inpharmation’s industry-leading international price modelling platform. Included in all Inpharmation’s international pricing project deliverables is industry leading training. 91% of pricing and market access course attendees highly rate our forecasting training.

The evidence behind Inpharmation’s fact-based approach to pricing is meticulously documented in the book Value Pricing for Market Access: Evidence-Based Pricing for Pharmaceuticals by Inpharmation’s founder and Chairman, Gary Johnson.
