Taking the Pulse® Global Series explores physician digital adoption trends across 15 countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia – Webinar May 16
May 12, 2011, New York, NY – Pharmaceutical and healthcare market research company Manhattan Research is expanding its global footprint this year and now offers the Taking the Pulse® studies of physician digital adoption trends for 15 countries across the Americas, Europe and Asia. The Taking the Pulse® Global Series includes a focus on the emerging markets of India, Mexico, South Korea, Brazil, China and Russia, in addition to Canada, Japan and Taiwan.
The Taking the Pulse® Global Series findings and overall market factors indicate there are significant digital marketing opportunities for pharma companies targeting physician audiences in these emerging markets:
- Smartphone and tablet adoption is surging among physicians in emerging markets, providing an alternative ‘always on’ digital channel for pharma to service physicians any time they need it.
- In many emerging countries, Russia in particular, most physicians want to head to the Internet first to learn about new pharma product information as opposed to their sales reps or offline congresses or journals.
- Research shows strong demand for various types of online clinical resources and services from pharma companies, such as patient education, condition information and treatment guidelines – highlighting an opportunity for pharma companies to step in and establish themselves as a key source of healthcare innovation and expertise.
“Physicians in high-growth economies are highly resourceful when it comes to leveraging the Internet and digital sources of information to stay on top of their profession. Brazil and South Korea for example are mirroring – and sometimes exceeding – U.S. and Europe trends,” said Monique Levy, Vice President of Research at Manhattan Research. “These findings should be music to the ears of pharma that are aggressively ramping up marketing and sales efforts to these new and highly lucrative markets.”
