WHAT'S THE DEAL, ADAM?

Twice a year, I spend my evenings and weekends writing two comprehensive, fact-based, and nonpartisan reports on drug channel economics. In some small way, I hope to make our world a better and smarter place.

Licenses for our DCI reports are regularly purchased by nearly every company involved in the drug channel: pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers, pharmacists, pharmacy owners, hospitals, buyers, benefit managers, managed care executives, policy analysts, investors, consultants, and more. So, you can find out what your customers and competitors are reading.

Here are some things to know about The 2018–19 Economic Report on Pharmaceutical Wholesalers and Specialty Distributors:

• Using DCI’s proprietary economic models, I delve into the business segments and underlying profitability of each public wholesaler: AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson. This information allows you to assess differences among the public wholesalers’ business organizations, strategies, and financial performance.

• I analyze how crucial healthcare trends will affect wholesalers and distributors, including: the outlook for brand-name drug prices, deflation of generic drug prices, vertical integration among healthcare providers, the profitability of specialty drugs and biosimilars, Amazon (of course), and much more.

• The nine chapters are self-contained and do not need to be read in order. (Really!) There are loads of internal hyperlinks to help you navigate the document and customize it to your specific interests and priorities.

• There are an astonishing 396 endnotes. Most of these notes have hyperlinks to original source materials, which I’m sure you’ll find useful. These source materials offer a handy way to build your knowledge base beyond what’s included in the full report.

• We offer the option to download an additional PowerPoint file with images of all 117 exhibits. This popular option helps you share the insights and data with others in your organization.

• I have reluctantly stripped out the goofy jokes and pop culture references. Sorry, SpongeBob fans!

If you have any questions (before or after reading the report), please email me.

Happy reading!
