Foundations and implications for international reference pricing

International Reference Pricing (IRP) continues to shape pharmaceutical pricing strategies worldwide, with more than 75 countries leveraging this mechanism to benchmark drug costs and address affordability. In 2026, the landscape is shifting as reforms and initiatives, including the U.S. Most Favored Nation (MFN) model, challenge traditional IRP approaches. At the same time, trends such as confidential pricing agreements and evolving regulatory frameworks are creating ripple effects on global launch sequencing, access to medicines, and innovation. Watch the webinar recording for insights on how to navigate these changes and manage pricing complexity while balancing commercial sustainability with equitable access to life-saving treatments.
