• in-depth report (150-page average) describing marketed products, recent launches, new and potential indications, treatment practices, disease incidence and prevalence, visits to physicians, diagnosis, treatment guidelines, investigational agents, and competing therapies

Forecasting Methodology
The sales forecasts are based on historical trends (incorporating real-dollar sales from IMS Health - all channels) and the impact of likely future "events." Events include new product introductions, changes in treatment practices, new indications, generics, diagnostics, regulatory issues, competing products and treatments, etc. The unique forecasting methodology was first developed by HFI 30 years ago and continues to provide realistic assessments of how future changes will affect market growth.

All sales forecasts are updated annually to reflect recent historical data as well as factors affecting the forecast.
