Market Access – YHEC – York Health Economics Consortium Market access refers to the process of ensuring that treatments (medicines, medical devices etc.) for which marketing authorisation has been obtained from regulatory authorities are available (reimbursed, funded) to all patients who may benefit.
- A clinician is in practice able to recommend and administer the treatment to a patient.
- A first step is reimbursement, frequently informed by health technology assessment (HTA).
- However successful reimbursement this does not mean that all eligible patients will receive the new treatment, nor will they necessarily have ‘access’ to it.
Market access addresses this problem by assessing barriers to and proposing and implementing strategies overcome these barriers. These may include collection and communication of evidence relevant to different decision makers, implementing pricing strategies (discounts, payment by results), or provision of tools (apps etc.) or staff to provide expert advice to health system administrators.
In pharmaceutical and other life science companies Market Access and professionals will generally work collaboratively to develop and execute plans for generating and communicating evidence of value of new interventions to health care reimbursers and payers.

What is meant by market access?
Market access for goods in the WTO means the conditions, tariff and non-tariff measures, agreed by members for the entry of specific goods into their markets.
What is the purpose of market access?
Market access: a basic definition – In the simplest terms, market access is about getting the right treatment to the right patient at the right time, and possibly even at the right price. It’s about:
eligble patients having rapid, consistent and sustained access to medicinesgenerating and communicating data for the stakeholders involved in the adoption and funding of the drugmaking sure those products and services are fairly priced and reimbursed.
What is the market access process in Pharma?
The market access process Securing pharmaceutical market access involves first attaining regulatory approval, and then working with various stakeholders to set national pricing guidelines, establishing the price that will be paid to the drug manufacturer for the drug. Part of this process is reimbursement.
What is the market access rule?
Exam Findings: –
Insufficient Controls – No pre-trade order limits, pre-set capital thresholds and duplicative and erroneous order controls for accessing ATSs, including those that transact fixed income transactions; not demonstrating the reasonability of assigned capital and credit pre-trade financial control thresholds; inadequate policies and procedures to govern intra-day changes to firms’ credit and capital thresholds, including requiring or obtaining approval prior to adjusting credit or capital thresholds, documenting justifications for any adjustments and ensuring thresholds for temporary adjustments revert back to their pre-adjusted values. Inadequate Financial Risk Management Controls – For firms with market access, or those that provide it, unreasonable capital thresholds for trading desks, and unreasonable aggregate daily limits or credit limits for institutional customers and counterparties. Reliance on Vendors – Relying on third-party vendors’ tools, including those of an ATS or exchange, to apply their financial controls without performing adequate due diligence, not understanding how vendors’ controls operate, or both; and not maintaining direct and exclusive control over controls by allowing the ATS to unilaterally set financial thresholds for firms’ fixed income orders without the involvement of the firm, instead of establishing their own thresholds (some firms were not sure what their thresholds were and had no means to monitor their usage during the trading day).
What are examples of access to market?
Definition – Market access is defined as a firm’s capacity to enter a foreign market by selling its products and services. It refers to the ability of a company or country to sell goods and services internationally. There are several ways to gain market access, including exporting, licensing, franchising, and joint ventures.
Why is market access important in pharmaceutical industry?
Market access is all about preparing a drug for market entry, and as such it’s a vitally important part of the drug development process and wider pharmaceutical industry. While for pharmaceutical and biotech companies it can be a complex process to gain market access, doing so allows their therapies to be available in as many countries as possible, reaching patients who need them and ensuring medicines are reimbursed.
What are the factors of market access?
Factors Affecting Market Access in Agricultural Based Projects in Rwanda. A Case of Home Grown School Feeding (HGSF) Project in Nyaruguru District (Published) – Article Author: Emmyson Gatare, Mbera Zenon, Joseph Oduor The issue of market access may usefully be considered according to three dimensions: physical access to markets; structure of the markets; and producers’ lack of skills, information and organization.
- Physical access to markets.
- Distance to markets – and lack of roads to get to them (or roads that are impassable at certain times of the year) – is a central concern for rural communities throughout the developing world.
- It undermines the ability of producers to buy their inputs and sell their crops; it results in high transportation costs and high transaction costs, both to buyers and sellers; and it leads to uncompetitive, monopolistic markets.
The objectives of the study is: to find out how market location determines market access for agricultural based projects in Rwanda, to find out how Market information determines market access to agricultural based projects in Rwanda, to explore the level at which the Influence of cooperative societies determines market access to farmers in Rwanda, to analyse the degree at which factor costs determines market access to farmers in Rwanda, to evaluate the extent to which trainings determines market access to farmers in Rwanda.
The target population consisted of 100 cooperative management committee members from 20 cooperatives working with Home Grown School Feeding project in Nyaruguru District. That is; 5 committee members in each cooperative. A census method, also commonly called a total population, is one that was selected based on the fact that the size of the population was small and easy to identify and reach.
The census method was used due to small size of the population. In data collection, the researcher used structured questions method. In this case the enumerators helped the target group respond to the questions. Data was than analysed and tested using descriptive statistics to test the relationship between the variables.
The study found out that the fact that market access is determined by several determinants; that is: Producer’s location in terms of distance to the buyer, nature of the road and means of transport, Market information in form of how the organization gets produce from members to a collection point for sale or delivery, knowledge about pricing and competitors, Factor costs like reduced transport costs, costs for collection of the produce and market search costs.
All these costs should be minimal for the smooth operation of the farmers, Trainings mostly on marketing, managing post-harvest losses, branding and packaging, the use of modern seed multiplication techniques and introduction of low cost seed varieties.
