AI Drug Discoverytailwind
AI transforms pharma R&D from linear to loop, boosting hit rates
GSK is deploying AI and generative AI across the entire R&D value chain — target selection, molecule design, manufacturing, clinical trials — moving from a linear 90% failure model to a 'lab in a loop' with reverse translation from patient data, aiming to cut cost, time, and improve probability of success within 5-10 years.

Oncologytailwind
ADCs and oligonucleotides unlock new cancer modalities with curative intent
Antibody-drug conjugates (biological missiles) and oligonucleotides (RNA spell-check) represent platform technologies enabling precision oncology; GSK's pipeline includes a multiple myeloma ADC showing 3-year survival benefit and a potential functional cure for hepatitis B affecting 250M people.
8
Vaccinestailwind
Vaccines offer highest ROI in healthcare; adult and combo vaccines expanding
Vaccines provide the best return on investment in healthcare after clean water; GSK is expanding into older adult vaccines (shingles, RSV, flu), developing combination vaccines using mRNA and other platforms, and securing regional supply chains for pandemic preparedness.
8
AI in Healthcaretailwind
Healthcare data (1/3 of world's data) makes it the killer app for AI
A third of global data is healthcare-related, making the sector the premier use case for AI; tech companies view healthcare as the best case study for AI's societal impact, driving massive cross-industry investment in AI-driven drug discovery, diagnostics, and care delivery.
7
GLP-1 & Metabolic Drugsmixed
Obesity drugs will reduce metabolic burden but neurodegeneration triples in 20 years
GLP-1 agonists will significantly reduce metabolic disease burden, but aging populations will triple the over-80 cohort in 20 years, making neurodegeneration (Alzheimer's, dementia) the next massive unmet need with 1-in-3 lifetime risk, requiring new R&D approaches.
7
Geopolitics & Trademixed
China accelerating first-in-class innovation; Europe risks regulatory drag
China's share of first-in-class drugs, clinical development speed, and approval pace are rising rapidly; GSK is actively in-licensing Chinese assets. Europe's strong regulators (EMA, MHRA) must balance responsible regulation with growth-focused policies to avoid falling behind the US in drug access timelines.
7
Antimicrobial Resistancerisk
AMR could kill 38M by 2050; new antibiotic models needed
Antimicrobial resistance is a 'slow pandemic' projected to kill 38 million by 2050; GSK has a large antibiotic pipeline including a first new UTI antibiotic in 20 years, and partners with the Fleming Fund/Imperial College, but the economic model (develop drugs not to overuse) remains challenging.
