Cure for Baldness

The Management Consulted Case Library is like a consulting case book, but it’s online, has updated cases, and has a straightforward, easy-to-use design. Get started with this case study with answers.

Prompt

Our client is a large pharmaceutical company that has developed a cure for baldness. 

It’s a pill that will rapidly (within three months) regrow your hair to the thickness that it was when you were 15.  The pill, IPP2, needs to be taken daily to maintain that thickness.  

Estimate the size of the market for this drug, and describe how you would go about pricing this product.

Overview

In this IQVIA case study, the client has hired you to assess the size of the market for a new product as well as assist with pricing the product.

Are you preparing for a first round IQVIA interview? This case study with answers will get you ready. We recommend using the Market Entry Framework, but don’t limit yourself to that structure. Think outside the frameworks to build your own structure for the case using your business acumen and experience.

This case is an intermediate level case, with a qualitative difficulty score of 2 out of 4. You might expect to find a case like this in a first-round with IQVIA. There is one math question in this case study.
