Position Summary
As the specialty market evolves with a focus on global rather than regional launches, there is an increasing need for small to mid-sized pharmaceutical companies to launch products in a more integrated manner across multiple countries or regions. An integrated solution in the US/EU markets is particularly attractive to biotech companies, as they seek service providers capable of offering a comprehensive suite of services. Additionally, these companies are increasingly outsourcing, seeking an extension of their in-house capabilities and opting for more integrated outsourcing solutions, which they believe accelerates their time to market.

Our "Innovations to Market" strategy positions Cencora as a forward-thinking leader in the industry, focused on growing this business segment within Cencora's International Business Group (IBG) and Global Pharma Services (GPS) covering various commercialization offerings including regulatory, market access, Pharmacovigilance, distribution, logistics and Patient services.
