Commercial success does not end with a successful launch. Lifecycle management determines whether products realize their full value potential or lose relevance prematurely.

Why this area is critical

In the life science industry, lifecycle management is not a downstream optimization step, but a strategic steering process that integrates medical, regulatory and commercial decisions over many years.

Company perspective

For companies, lifecycle management means:

  • Active value steering across the entire product lifecycle
  • Prioritization of indication extensions, subpopulations or new formulations
  • Adaptation of positioning, pricing and go to market strategies to changing market conditions
  • Timely preparation for competitive dynamics, generics or biosimilars

Without a clear lifecycle strategy, value is often exploited reactively rather than strategically.

Investor perspective

For investors, lifecycle management is a central value driver:

  • How sustainable is the revenue and margin potential?
  • Is there a clear logic for value creation over time?
  • How well is the company prepared for competitive and pricing pressure?

Lack of lifecycle management significantly increases the risk of early value erosion.


Typical risks and misjudgements

In practice, we frequently observe:

  • Lifecycle strategies developed only after launch
  • Unclear prioritization of development and investment options
  • Insufficient alignment between clinical development and commercial strategy
  • Inadequate preparation for competition or patent expiry scenarios
  • Inefficient allocation of resources across products and indications

These risks rarely arise from a lack of ideas, but from missing structure and decision logic.

Integration of development, market and organization

Our work in lifecycle management is deliberately integrated. We assess lifecycle decisions in the interplay of:

  • Clinical evidence and development options
  • Regulatory framework conditions
