Growth & emerging markets metrics (GEMM) programme
The globalisation of pharmaceutical markets has increased the demand for high-quality information on the development and registration of new medicines in growth and emerging markets. CIRS’ GEMM Programme helps companies navigate these fast-evolving markets by providing comparative regulatory data and insights.
The Programme collects company data annually on:
- Product characteristics
- Regulatory processes and market dynamics
- Submission and approval timelines
- Factors influencing patient access to medicines.
This data is anonymised, aggregated and analysed, providing an industry-wide view of the regulatory landscape across 20 key jurisdictions in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. Participating companies can benchmark their performance against industry trends.
