Abstracts

FirstView Barriers – An Analysis of Market Barriers in Multiple Sclerosis (EU5) provides cutting edge, advanced and proprietary analytics that companies operating in the MS space need to develop, shape and refine brand strategy.

Critically, the report quantifies the impact and influence of specific environmental barriers – such as price, availability and reimbursement – in relation to how much market share your brand gains and loses, to which brands your share is going to, and from which brands your brand is getting share from.

The proprietary barrier instrument utilizes statistical analysis and advanced calculation to provide you with this precise information. This information allows you to act strategically and focus on the market barriers that can drive market share gains and improve competitiveness for your brand.
