Most pharma pricing still runs on manual spreadsheets, consumer inflation, COGS pressure, and IQVIA sales-over-volume — and it quietly leaves net revenue and margin on the table. In this session, Armin Kakas and Enrico Sieni of Revology Analytics break down how to build advanced analytics-driven, reproducible Pricing Analytics & Optimization capabilities for pharma: the four-module engine that closes where pricing actually leaks.
Drawing on recent multi-market emerging-market pilots that surfaced 5–20% in net price realization (NPR), they show how DDD-normalized competition, brand-worth scoring, price-pack architecture, and causal elasticity come together into one reproducible engine your team can run every cycle — and defend with your commercial teams.
In this session:
• Apples-to-apples competition — product-equivalence + Price/DDD normalization across molecule, strength, form, and pack
• Proper elasticity modeling — and why price is rarely the biggest driver of volume growth or erosion
• Gross-to-net visibility — seeing the net price realization gap from ex-manufacturer list through the full bridge
• Price Pack Architecture (PPA) audits — catching inverted pack ladders and strength-index leaks before they compound
• Causal elasticity — where Rx gives you safe headroom and where OTC behaves more like CPG
• Scaling analytics — replacing the one-analyst spreadsheet to run optimizations across countries and brands
Who it's for: pharma pricing & commercial-excellence leaders (global, regional, country/affiliate), Market Access & Pricing/Reimbursement, Brand & Product Managers, and Analytics & Data Science teams. The same engine pattern extends to animal health and the broader life sciences.
