5、y,and they are picking up speed.Novel treatments based on innovative science and new modalities are emerging faster than ever.Intensifying competition,declining R&D productivity,payer pressures,and a steep patent cliff are testing the economic viability of biopharmas business model.More than ever,bi
6、opharma is a high-stakes business,fraught with risks.But it also remains capable of delivering life-changing benefits to patients worldwide.There are a couple of reasons why any management team can look to an uncertain future with confidence.First,this is a unique moment.An unprecedented level of kn
7、owledge about human biology is converging with the rise of novel therapeutic modalities to enable the development of transformative and potentially curative treatments.Second,technologies such as artificial intelligence(AI)and advanced translational models are poised to accelerate drug discovery and
8、 development.In this context,focus matters.Our research shows that over the past decade,companies that derive 70%or more of revenues from their top two therapeutic areas have seen a 65%increase in total shareholder return(TSR),compared with only 19%for more diversified firms.(See Exhibit 1.)We belie
9、ve that concentrating R&D and commercialization resources and expertise on areas of core strength is the most effective way to cut through complexity,de-risk investments,and deliver results for patients and shareholders alike.Looking ahead,the companies that thrive will focus on their core areas to
10、drive innovation and efficiency while accelerating speed and agility.By establishing deep connections with stakeholders,they can also more effectively shape the health care ecosystem and payment models to maximize patient access to innovative treatments.Heres our take on how biopharma companies can
11、navigate and thrive amid the industrys complexities.4 BOSTON CONSULTING GROUPIdentify Strengths and OpportunitiesScientific understanding of the biological drivers of disease,combined with the ability to influence human biology,has never been greater.Looking ahead,we expect new development to accele

14、y.We estimate that some 15%of the market in 2030 will consist of novel modalities versus only about 5%in 2020.(See Exhibit 2.)In this context,biopharma companies must focus strategically on therapeutic areas(TAs)where they have both deep insight into the underlying disease biology and differentiated
15、 capabilities.To maximize R&D impact,companies should target a wide range of mechanisms within core TAs,balancing smaller and larger bets.Concentrated investments in R&D and commercialization can optimize ROI from core TAs and technology platforms,reducing selling,general,and administrative costs an

28、tial promise,with reported Phase 1 success rates greater than 85%in some cases.In addition,modeled scenarios suggest that AI could reduce preclinical discovery time by 30%to 50%and lower costs by 25%to 50%.Despite this promise,however,traditional pharma and biotech companies have been slow to adopt
29、AI.More than 40%of them have yet to incorporate AI materially into their drug discovery processes.In contrast,AI-first biotech startups are building therapeutic pipelines more quickly,especially in data-rich,commercially viable TAs such as oncology.Although these early pipelines,which are largely fo

32、nslational model has often been the factor that unleashes a companys ability to innovate and make progress in combating a disease.One example is the history of developing a cure for hepatitis C.By 1993,researchers had identified viral targets that were accessible to small molecules.But despite repea
33、ted efforts,development proved fruitless until the discovery in 1999 of the replicon model,which resulted in the successful development of direct-acting antivirals that specifically target hepatitis C.Today cure rates for chronic hepatitis C have reached 90%.Many traditional models based on animals
34、or biochemical assays have a low concordance with actual human disease biology,particularly in neuroscience.Advances in translational models,such as organoids and organ-on-a-chip technologies,could transform preclinical drug development by providing more human-relevant models of disease.These models
35、 aim to replicate tissue and organ functions more accurately,improving the predictive power of preclinical testing.By identifying ineffective compounds earlier,they could help reduce late-stage failures and accelerate the path to clinical trials.EXHIBIT 2A Combination of Better Understanding of Caus

37、ina is rapidly emerging as an innovation hub,posing opportunities for sourcing innovation.At the same time,seizing its potential as a commercial market is becoming more challenging because of the potential introduction of new tariffs and trade barriers.China has historically been a key manufacturer
38、of active pharmaceutical ingredients,and it has become a leader in drug innovation,particularly in oncology.Regulatory reforms,significant R&D investments,and the rise of over 1,600 biotech companiessuch as BeiGene and Zai Labfrom 2010 to 2020 have catapulted Chinas biopharma sector into the ranks o
39、f global leaders.In 2022,China held a 15%share of global pipeline assets,up from just 4%in 2012.(See the exhibit.)While traditional Chinese pharma companies focus on fast-follower strategies,local biotech startups are increasingly pioneering competitive or potentially superior treatments as well as
40、first-in-class therapies.They are also expanding globally through strategic partnerships.Successful collaborations,such as Mercks partnership with Kelun-Biotech and Janssens with Legend Biotech,highlight the growing potential for sourcing innovation from China.At the same time,commercialization in C

42、 from a company associated with a foreign adversary.”Local competition and operational complexities within Chinas health care system further intensify these challenges.Still,global pharma companies should regard China as a source of innovation and explore creative structures beyond traditional in-li
