Key Trends in Offshoring Pharmaceutical R&D: Company Strategies, Emerging Markets and Impact on ROI
Business Insights, March 2009, Pages: 139
Offshoring and outsourcing have become an increasingly critical contributor to pharma and biotech R&D strategies in recent years. They enable companies to focus on core competencies such as drug discovery or technology development whilst contracting out non-core processes to experts, often at lower costs. As offshore investments begin to mature and provide returns on investment, the opportunity to migrate individual components or whole segments of R&D portfolios will continue to rise.
‘Key Trends in Offshoring Pharmaceutical R&D’ is a report that evaluates the offshore R&D strategies that can reduce development times and improve productivity, with analysis of a variety of strategic partnerships, academic collaborations, and outsourcing opportunities. This report identifies emerging areas of technological and scientific significance across the globe and examines the offshore strategies and investments of the top 20 pharma and biotech companies across Asia, Australia, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Far East. This report also provides a financial and managerial valuation of leading companies based on their P/E ratio, return on assets (ROA) and return on investment (ROI) and measures company performance against the healthcare industry, pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors and leading shares of the S&P500.
Key Findings
-Companies that have allocated over 60% of their R&D expenditure offshore have displayed greater shareholder return, operating margins, market capital growth and return on assets.
-The US currently attracts 53% of total industry R&D spend, however it is forecast that 20% of this expenditure will migrate to Asia Pacific by 2010.
Australia, China and Singapore are emerging as key areas for scientific and technological investment.
-Leading pharma and biotech companies have undergone major R&D restructuring over the last five years and now adopt a focused, streamlined global approach which is increasingly reliant on offshore strategic partnerships, academic collaboration and outsourcing to establish networks of scientific expertise.
-Scientific and technological excellence within emerging economies is a key incentive for offshore investment, enabling companies to enhance innovation and productivity within their R&D programs.
-Managerial expertise is a critical factor driving the success of offshore investments, helping leading pharma and healthcare companies to outperform their peers and the S&P 500 index in 2008.

Shifting focus of R&D strategies. The industry has become more globalized in its R&D approach as part of efforts to improve productivity and efficiency. Networks of offshore partnerships and academic collaborations are now enabling companies to harness external expertise on a project by project basis.
Offshore investment in emerging economies. Companies are increasingly turning to emerging countries to counter the slowing growth of US and European markets. Investing in offshore R&D facilities provides companies with local expertise and a greater understanding of local economies.
Offshore opportunities in tertiary economies. The success of commercial opportunities in emerging markets has expanded the regional scope of investment, with Australia, Israel and Singapore all seen to provide labour arbitrage and access to specialists.
Focused managerial directives are critical. Successful R&D performance is underpinned by a streamlined R&D strategy which is well managed by a team of scientists, technologists and non-scientists which can guide global networks ensuring early go/no go decision making which builds on the core competencies of both internal and external researchers.
