Why read this RadarView?

The life sciences industry is under pressure to accelerate time to market and offset the rising patent cliff, making digital R&D essential to pipeline competitiveness. Advances in genomics and regulatory acceptance of real-world evidence are fueling precision medicine, while escalating payor cost containment and tighter price controls are intensifying market access challenges. At the same time, rising modality complexity and supply chain volatility demand resilient, digitally enabled manufacturing operations to ensure agility and scalability. Global Capability Centers are also shifting from cost arbitrage to capability‑ and innovation-led value creation, becoming engines of digital execution and transformation. To navigate these shifts, enterprises increasingly rely on strategic partnerships to sustain growth and innovation.

The Life Sciences Digital Services 2026 RadarView™ highlights key supply-side trends in the life sciences industry and Avasant’s viewpoint. It helps companies identify top service providers to support their digital transformation of offerings in this sector. It also analyzes each service provider’s capabilities in technology and delivery support, enabling organizations to identify the right strategic partners.
