Improving the product mix increases competitiveness, customer satisfaction, profitability and efficiency.
In the healthcare industry, both the medical devices and consumer healthcare sectors face the challenge of optimizing their product mix within their portfolios. This involves strategic decisions about which products to include, eliminate, and how to enhance existing ones. The global medical devices market is expected to reach $543.9 billion in 2021, highlighting the importance of maintaining a competitive product mix (1). A study in the consumer healthcare industry revealed that 75% of consumers consider the availability of quality products crucial in their purchase decisions (2). Additionally, a recent survey of medical device industry executives found that 68% prioritize improving their product mix (3). Enhancing the product mix is vital for increased competitiveness, customer satisfaction, and profitability.
