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.
