Spending on point-of-care drug marketing has surged, with revenues from members of the Point of Care Marketing Association increasing by 16% last year, surpassing the $1 billion threshold. This significant growth highlights a shift in marketing strategies as pharmaceutical companies increasingly recognize the value of engaging healthcare professionals at the point of care.
The rise in spending reflects a broader trend within the industry, where direct engagement with prescribers at the time of patient interaction is becoming a critical component of marketing efforts. As healthcare becomes more complex, the need for timely and relevant information at the point of care is paramount, leading to increased investment in targeted marketing initiatives.
