Brands image and reputational assets
Gilead Sciences has granted EVA Pharma a VL for Remdesivir in 127 countries (including
our home markets) that enables the scaling-up of production, increasing COVID-19
patients' ability to access this life-saving treatment. EVA Pharma’s timely shipments of
Remdesivir reached India during a major wave of coronavirus cases.
Partnership with leading pharmaceutical companies that share values and passion for
putting patients first by making breakthrough treatments and solutions accessible in Egypt
and across Africa.
Relationships:
EVA Pharma’s timely shipments of Remdesivir reached India during a major wave of
coronavirus cases. When India experienced an unexpected COVID-19 surge this spring, the
rapid increase in cases put pressure on the local pharmaceutical industry to supply the
medicines needed. In April, EVA Pharma signed a contract with the Indian government to
export 300,000 vials of Remdesivir, an approved treatment for coronavirus, to meet the
urgent needs there. Six shipments of Remdesivir were flown to Mumbai between May and
June and were subsequently dispatched to hospitals across India, reaching patients
everywhere from major cities to the remote archipelago of Lakshadweep.

Porter’s Strategies:
Eva could target a Cost Leadership strategy to penetrate the gulf market. It has two
distinct advantages that would allow it to pursue this strategy: First, it already has a
mother company in Egypt that could provide it with the required capital and could take a
proverbial hit to its gulf profits. Eva can sell at cost or slightly above cost to penetrate the
market and increase brand awareness drastically as a cost leader. Second, the price of the
gulf dirham averages 6.5X that of the Egyptian Pound. A profit of around 60% relative to
other competitors would translate to acceptable profits to the Mother Company and
shareholders. So a decrease in selling price and profits under the guise of aggressive
promotions might be difficult to the local, middle east companies Further marketing
objectives after a decent brand awareness and market share could bring the price and
profits back up.
Marketing Segmentation:
It means determining distinct groups of buyers with different needs, characteristics or
behaviors.
Demographic Variables:
Demographic segmentation is a precise form of audience identification based on data
points like age, gender, marital status, family size, income, education, race, occupation,
nationality, and/or religion.
Segment 1 Segment 2
Age 22– 65 25 - 55
Gender Women, or Men Women
Income 5k EGP + / Month 15k EGP + / Month
Occupation All classes, low standard to highly Makeup artists, Pharmacists,
educated people. Dermatologists
Geographic Variables:
Geographic segmentation involves segmenting your audience based on the region they
live or work in. This can be done in any number of ways: grouping customers by the
country they live in, or smaller geographical divisions, from region to city, and right down
to postal code.
Region MENA
Country Egypt & Saudi Arabia
Psychographic Variables:
Psychographic segmentation is defined as a market segmentation technique where groups
are formed according to psychological traits that influence consumption habits drawn from
people’s lifestyle and preferences.
Segment 1 Segment 2
Personality Survivors or Thinkers Thinkers
Social class C A&B
Life Styles Back to basics Healthy people, traveling,
green living, minimalists
Social class Middle to low Middle to High
Behavioristic Variables:
Behavioral segmentation classifies consumers based on their behaviors surrounding
products or services, such as when they decide to purchase them and how they use them.
By focusing on consumer behavior, behavioral segmentation provides a look into how
consumers interact with businesses, which allows marketers to improve the effectiveness of
their efforts
Segment 1 Segment 2
Benefit Expectations skin fix, Moderate quality with High quality
affordable price
Brand loyalty Low loyalty High loyalty
Market Targeting:
Targeting:
After Segmentation, a valid target needs to be set to focus our objectives correctly. The
nature of the product, Eva pharma, automatically targets all gender segments that who
cares about skin materials and health. This market targets adults (men\women).the
following segments will be automatically excluded from the targeting, with the following
reasons:
This demographic usually cares about their skin at home and also buy their products from
the stores
Bachelors, above the age of 30
This demographic usually takes time every day to take care of their skin. They also care
about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Of the remaining segments, Eva already actively
targets the applicable segments from 49 to 132. The expansion strategy would increase
the target to incorporate the younger segments and the lower class to buy eva products
instead of actively preparing them. Segments 25-48 prefer a quick lifestyle and will usually
buy the ready products given the (applicable non-bachelors in the segment 144-228). A
good targeting strategy would not target all those segments, however, and will focus on
the younger segment (25-48) only and let peer pressure and repeated requests from this
segment to the older ones slowly increase the market penetration.
Positioning:
Eva’s current position (especially with the skin products) can be inferred from the
previously discussed data. EVA is the market leader with amazing brand awareness. EVA
needs to maintain this position and continue to employ the Product Use and Application
strategy by associating the eva products to the time saved for its currently targeted
segments and soon to be targeted segments.
