Pharmaceutical companies, on account of price pressures and an intense regulatory gaze, are investing in data analytics and digital tools to sharpen their marketing focus and improve compliance. 
The move comes in the backdrop of price competitiveness in key markets and regulatory actions leading to adverse audit observations and warning letters.
