4 innovations that will shift the pharmaceutical market in 2023
The past years have witnessed significant advancements in the pharmaceutical market, edge computing, and Big Data, to name but a few. It seems 2023 will continue with this momentum by introducing innovations set to make their impact.
The year ahead promises excitement for those following medical and pharmaceutical sales careers. In fact, the pharmaceutical industry is expected to increase to $1.5 trillion by 2023, a sure-fire indication that the market is stable and bursting with opportunities.
While 38% of industry experts predict Big Data to have the greatest impact on the pharmaceutical sector, there are four less-known innovations that could very well shake up the industry.
Innovation 1: Intensive R&D for personalised medicine
The pharmaceutical industry has always been highly R&D intensive, with Big Data playing a key role in expediting trials, drugs, therapies, and medical devices. In the coming months, this new technology will turn a large portion of its focus on personalised medicine. Companies such as AMPEL BioSolutions will be progressing with genomic platform technology that uses RNA analytics and machine learning to characterise a patient’s genes and help practitioners make better clinical decisions. By doing this, medical professionals can determine the most effective course of action tailored to each patient.
Medical sales jobs will become more exciting as personalised medicine becomes more available and more affordable to a broader range of clients.
Innovation 2: New achievements for the MedTech sector
It’s no exaggeration to say that innovations that, pre-Covid19, may have taken decades to adopt are now being fast-tracked into global healthcare systems. This applies to 2023, where several new MedTech companies are preparing to debut products.
An example is CAPS Medical, a MedTech company dedicated to developing a solution to treat a broad range of solid tumours using Non-thermal Atmospheric Plasma (NTAP). This minimally invasive procedure destroys cancerous cells without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.
Introducing this procedure will positively impact cancer treatments, offering physicians new options for their patients.
Innovation 3: Nanoform drug development
The Finnish company, Nanoform, recently launched its first in-human study of a “nanoformed” treatment named Controlled Expansion of Supercritical Solutions (CESS®). This technology supports the formation of API nanoparticles directly from solution. The results of the study will be ready in 2023, and if the outcomes are as predicted, the medical sector will witness significantly improved drug performance. For example, the technology will enable chemicals to work faster, but also more efficiently according to a patient’s personalised needs.
This means a new and advanced therapy will be on the market for the pharmaceutical sales community, ensuring a competitive edge that continues to put the best patient care at the forefront.
Innovation 4: Drug re-purposing
Drug re-purposing is another innovation that will shift the pharmaceutical market in 2023. Organisations like DEBRA UK International are offering substantial grants to researchers dedicated to drug reprofiling. This financial boost into the market will ignite new innovations and support Drug Discovery and Drug Development teams that will be finalising studies. A popular topic for 2023 is the cancer drug Sapanisertib, which can potentially be used against malaria.
You’ll also find the IQVIA team hard at work using AI to advance effective drug repurposing.

Anja BollianA quick note to say thank you for your time this morning discussing my future career options. As you know I was feeling very conflicted about the right decision. Discussing the role with you gave me chance to clarify what is important to me.
Just following on from the amazing news I got yesterday I wanted to say a really special thank you for all the help and support you have provided throughout the entire recruitment process.
Since joining IQVIA I have had unrivalled support and development from my manager to enable me to aspire to move into secondary care. I feel like my career is strongly supported by my manager in order to maximise my potential.
IQVIA has been behind my development to become a MSL. The contracts that I have worked on have allowed me to push clinical projects with a recent opportunity to manage a pilot scheme integrating e-detailing into an established field based team. The result was an increase in sales.
Once again I cannot thank you enough for not only approaching me with this opportunity but also for all the support you’ve given me along the way!
