WHAT’S GOING ON

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 try to make the 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.

The 2019–20 Economic Report on Pharmaceutical Wholesalers and Specialty Distributors is the only resource of its kind available anywhere. With 136 proprietary charts, exhibits, and data tables, the report provides the most comprehensive, fact-based tool for understanding the U.S. drug distribution system.

FOUR FUN FACTS

• The 9 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.

• We are offering the option to download an additional PowerPoint file with images of all 136 exhibits. This popular option helps you share the insights and data with others in your organization.

• There are a staggering 456 (!) endnotes, most of which have hyperlinks to original source materials. These source materials offer a handy way to build your knowledge base beyond what’s included in the full report.

• As usual, I have reluctantly stripped out the corny jokes and pop culture references.

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

Enjoy!
