Market Dynamics

Market Growth Drivers

In Germany, there is an increasing emphasis on patient-centered care, which emphasizes offering individualized care that caters to the specific needs of individual patients. By giving patients the tools and assistance, they need to manage their conditions, patient support programs can contribute to the success of this strategy by fostering the Germany PSP market growth.

Market Restraints

Some patients might not be aware that patient support programs are offered to them or they might not be aware of the advantages these programs can provide. The adoption of these programs can be hampered by this ignorance. For smaller pharmaceutical businesses in particular, creating and implementing patient care programs can be expensive. These expenses might be passed on to patients or healthcare providers, which might prevent these initiatives from being adopted in Germany.

Healthcare Policies and Regulatory Landscape

The European Medicine Agency’s (EMA) good practice guidelines for pharmacovigilance address legal requirements applicable to marketing authorization holders (MAHs) for the management and reporting of safety data arising in PSPs that involve direct interactions with patients and caregivers for the purpose of helping to manage a patient’s medication and disease outcomes (for example, adherence, awareness, and education) or providing HCPs with support for their patients.

In Germany, the PSPs are specifically tailored to a particular product that is provided to patients and/or physicians free of charge and can qualify as benefits that could fall under the prohibition of Section 7 HWG (heilmittelwerbegesetz).

The FSA (Association for the Voluntary Self-Regulation of the Pharmaceutical Industry) Transparency Code obliges all FSA member companies to publish their direct and indirect services provided to doctors, healthcare professionals, and healthcare organizations. This includes services related to research and development as well as donations and other unilateral services in connection with advanced training courses, services, and consultancy fees.

The permissibility of PSPs has been thoroughly assessed and reconsidered by the FSA, which lead to the FSA Code of Conduct Healthcare Professionals, according to which, amongst other requirements, such measures ensure the correct application and use of the pharmaceutical product must follow a medical rationale to be assessed and determined by the medical department of the company.
