ICP Intelligence February 2026: Pharmaceutical

Industry in Health & Life Sciences

How are data and technology influencing the pharmaceutical sector's strategic priorities? The Pharmaceutical sector is undergoing a notable shift, with significant increases in both Data (+0.89) and Technology (+1.06) factor scores over the last six months. This surge is reflected in their top priorities, which now center on deploying AI tools to optimize commercial investments and generating business outcome-related insights. The sector currently exhibits strong performance in Growth (4.71/5) and Stakeholder engagement (4.60/5). This population is segmented into two distinct behavioral clusters: a dominant High-Technology / High-Data group (73.0%) and a smaller Low-Technology / Low-Data group (27.0%), indicating a growing digital divide within the industry as it grapples with challenges like measuring AI value and leveraging incomplete datasets.
