Case Study

Case Study: Market Access Success

A medical technology company recently sought to expand global patient access to its minimally invasive therapy for treating a common degenerative spinal condition. To strategically plan international expansion, the company engaged IQVIA MedTech to assess and prioritize markets with the least barriers to entry.

The study aimed to rank countries based on regulatory complexity, reimbursement landscape, market potential, and clinical adoption trends.


The condition in focus primarily affects aging populations, with symptoms caused by the narrowing of spinal nerve passages. Treatment options vary from conservative pain management to invasive surgical procedures. The minimally invasive therapy in question presents an alternative that improves patient outcomes while reducing procedural risks and recovery time. Understanding global market dynamics was essential for identifying the best regions for commercial entry.

Challenge

Regulatory Complexity

The company needed to determine which international markets offered the most favorable conditions for the introduction of its therapy while minimizing regulatory and reimbursement hurdles.

The key challenges included:

  • Regulatory Complexity: Countries had different approval pathways, requiring an in-depth analysis of timelines, documentation, and procedural hurdles.
  • Reimbursement Variability: Identifying how the therapy would be funded in public and private healthcare systems across multiple regions.
  • Market Potential: Assessing the demand for treatment, current treatment practices, and interest from healthcare professionals.
  • Stakeholder Perception: Understanding how key decision-makers, including surgeons, payers, and procurement managers, perceived the therapy in comparison to traditional treatments.
    The complexity of market access strategies required a structured, data-driven approach to prioritize entry into regions where regulatory approval and commercial success could be achieved efficiently.
Solution

Pathways mapped

IQVIA MedTech conducted a Global Market Prioritization Assessment using a multi-faceted approach. The study provided a comprehensive market roadmap, allowing for informed strategic decisions regarding expansion and commercialization:
  1. Market Heatmap Development: Analyzed multiple countries based on regulatory requirements, reimbursement structures, and commercial potential.
  2. Stakeholder Engagement: Interviews were conducted with key opinion leaders, including spine surgeons, anesthesiologists, pain management specialists, and payers, to gauge perceptions and treatment adoption trends.
  3. Regulatory & Reimbursement Analysis: Mapped the approval timelines and reimbursement challenges in each market, determining where the therapy could gain the quickest access.
  4. Competitive Landscape Assessment: Identified existing treatment pathways and gaps that the therapy could address effectively.
Results

Expansion optimized

The market prioritization assessment yielded key insights, successfully guiding the expansion strategy:

High-Priority Markets Identified:
The study highlighted several markets with strong regulatory pathways, favorable reimbursement structures, and significant demand for minimally invasive treatment options.


Secondary Opportunities:
Additional markets were identified with potential but required more complex regulatory and reimbursement navigation.


Challenges in Certain Regions:
Some markets exhibited higher barriers due to restrictive reimbursement policies and lower physician adoption rates.


Regulatory Pathway Clarity:
The study demonstrated that most target markets had manageable regulatory pathways, enabling a structured approach to approvals.


Reimbursement & Adoption Insights:
In many regions, reimbursement policies favored procedures requiring hospitalization, suggesting a need to position the therapy in alignment with market expectations.
