Corporate Reputation of Pharma in United States, 2021-2022: The Patient Perspective - The Views of 240 Patient Groups - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "The Corporate Reputation of Pharma in 2021 - The Patient Perspective - USA Edition - The Views of 240 USA Patient Groups" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The 'Corporate Reputation of Pharma' Survey - US Edition, is now in its 9th year, and two years into the Covid-19 pandemic. Between November 2021-February 2022, the survey collected the opinions of 240 US-based patient groups on the performance of the pharmaceutical industry during 2021.

Patient groups responding to the 'Corporate Reputation of Pharma' survey are uniquely positioned to comment on the pharma industry's performance during the pandemic. Patient groups not only understand the perceptions of patients but are also the only healthcare stakeholder to network with all other stakeholders in the healthcare system.

The report provides highlights on:

  • How the analyst measures pharma's corporate reputation from a patient perspective
  • The headline results of the 2021 USA survey
  • The companies included in the 2021 US analysis
  • The profiles of 2021's respondent US patient groups

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

FINDINGS AT INDUSTRY LEVEL

The 240 US patient groups responding to the 2021 survey rated the pharma industry more favourably for corporate reputation than their predecessors in previous years. 67% of 2021's respondent patient groups stated that the industry had an "Excellent" or "Good" corporate reputation, against 57% saying the same in 2020.

The positivity of 2021's respondent patient groups appears to be largely driven by the pharma industry's response to the Covid-19 pandemic - specifically, the success some US companies have had at developing vaccines and treatments. In total 81% of 2021's respondent patient groups stated that pharma was "Very effective" or "Effective" at providing support to patients during the pandemic, the same percentage as in 2020.

During 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic continued to monopolise public life in the USA. Prior to the pandemic, other, longer-term problems - particularly health inequities, rising drug pricing and pharma's perceived lack of transparency - dominated political debate in the field of healthcare. For patients with chronic diseases, these issues have not gone away.

Already, the analyst's 2021 figures indicate a growing impatience with pharma among US patient groups. 2021's 240 respondent US patient groups registered significant drops in their approval ratings when asked in the 'Corporate Reputation' survey about specific pharma activities of importance to patients and patient groups - especially patient safety, patient centricity, patient information, and integrity.
