Omnichannel Marketing Metrics That Actually Deliver in Pharma & MedTech

Omnichannel is non‑negotiable in pharma and medtech marketing. In recent study 97% of industry leaders say it’s vital. Yet execution remains consistently fragmented, and fewer than half even measure ROI regularly. That’s the mission-critical gap any marketer needs to bridge. I am here to help.

Benchmarks That Put ROI in Frame

1. Revenue Uplift
When omnichannel is done right, top performers record over 15% revenue gains.
Many report 5–15% lifts, particularly where personalised, multi-channel approaches are scaled.

2. Marketing Efficiency Gains
Pharma innovators using hybrid commercial models see 10–40% improvements in marketing efficiency—faster time to market and lower cost per outcome.

3. Investment Signals
Companies allocate 10–15% of their promotional and advertising budget to omnichannel solutions—evidence of meaningful investment.

4. Strategic Capability Gaps

As BCG study shows medtech and biopharma marketing leaders identifycritical gaps:

  • 30% lack a clear omnichannel strategy, especially SMEs.
  • 90% cite data silos as a major barrier; only 10% have fully integrated data systems.
  • Only 7% are broadly leveraging AI/GenAI in omnichannel.
  • Less than 17% review performance metrics more than monthly.
