Medical affairs is an essential function within the life sciences industry, encompassing a wide range of activities that bridge the gaps between clinical development, commercialization, and engagement with healthcare stakeholders. Medical affairs outsourcing refers to the practice of entrusting these activities, including medical writing, medical communications, publication planning, field medical engagement, medical information services, and health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) to external organizations with specialized expertise. As therapies become more complex, the demand for specialized medical affairs services grows. Companies entering new markets also seek local medical affairs support to navigate different regulatory landscapes. The robust pipeline of pharmaceutical and biotech companies broadens the potential for outsourcing services. However, challenges such as ensuring data security and maintaining quality control remain significant hurdles. While market players are focusing on improving service compliance and offerings, they are also developing tailored medical affairs strategies to support personalized therapies and are leveraging real-world evidence to demonstrate product value and inform clinical strategies. Digitalization and AI in medical affairs could also offer innovative outsourcing services.
