What is the difference between purchasing a published report and requesting a new report?

Published reports have been pre-produced on the specified date and can be delivered immediately. If you prefer to refresh an existing report or request an entirely new disease, REACH can create and deliver any new report within 15 business days.

How does REACH produce new primary market research reports in 15 business days?

By deploying our senior team to each of our reports, we can begin insight generation on day 1. The REACH team also recruits Key Opinion Leaders from our internal panel rather than outsourcing recruitment which enables us to quickly begin primary market research interviews.

Who writes REACH reports?

Each REACH report is produced by one of our senior US-based team members with 10+ years of experience in life sciences market research. We are deeply committed to ensuring REACH reports are high quality and strategic to enable informed decision-making for our clients.

Does REACH cover both rare and non-rare diseases?

REACH specializes in covering diseases and subpopulations that are not addressed by traditional market research reports. As such, we focus on rare diseases and niche subpopulations of more common conditions (e.g., Dupixent-refractory atopic dermatitis). Our flexible model enables in-depth assessments across all disease types, allowing us to support research for non-rare conditions as well.

Can I meet with the team to discuss the report?
