Gartner

Gartner, Inc. is a leading global research and advisory firm that provides actionable insights, advice, and tools for executives across all major business functions. While not a pharmaceutical manufacturer, Gartner maintains a robust Life Sciences practice that serves as a critical strategic resource for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries. The company helps life sciences organizations navigate digital transformation, optimize R&D through AI, and manage complex global supply chains. The company operates through three primary business segments: Research (subscription-based reports and benchmarks), Conferences (industry-specific executive gatherings), and Consulting (customized advisory services). For the pharmaceutical sector, Gartner is best known for its 'Hype Cycle' reports, which evaluate the maturity and adoption of technologies such as generative AI in drug discovery, digital clinical trials, and cloud-based quality management systems.
