In today’s dynamic healthcare landscape, even the most trusted and well-established brands can lose their relevance. Mature healthcare brands often find themselves grappling with declining visibility, stagnant sales, and perceptions of being outdated. However, the growing demand for affordable, reliable healthcare solutions in underserved regions presents a unique opportunity.
At Medstry, we specialize in breathing new life into these legacy brands. Through innovative strategies, data-driven insights, and localized approaches, we help mature healthcare brands reclaim their position and thrive in emerging markets like rural India.
The Challenges Mature Brands Face
Mature healthcare brands carry the advantage of trust and a proven track record, but they often encounter significant challenges:
Saturated Urban Markets Urban areas are teeming with competition, from newer brands to generics, leaving little room for growth. According to a report by McKinsey & Company, this saturation limits profitability and forces mature brands to look elsewhere for opportunities.
Neglect of Rural and Underserved Areas Over 65% of India’s population resides in rural regions (source: Rural Health Statistics 2022), where healthcare access remains limited. Despite this, many mature brands lack a strong presence in these areas, missing out on a massive, untapped market.
Perception Issues Legacy products are often seen as “old-fashioned” or irrelevant compared to newer, trendier alternatives. A study by PwC highlights how this perception impacts consumer trust and healthcare professional recommendations.
While these challenges are daunting, they also present an incredible growth opportunity. By leveraging their trusted reputation and addressing these issues, mature brands can achieve remarkable success in emerging markets.
Medstry’s Approach to Revitalization
At Medstry, we believe in reimagining mature brands to make them more relevant, visible, and impactful. Our strategies are designed to address specific market challenges while positioning these brands for sustainable growth.
1. Localized Marketing That Resonates
Understanding regional nuances is crucial for success in emerging markets. Our marketing campaigns are tailored to align with local languages, cultures, and healthcare needs.
Regional Languages: Campaigns crafted in local dialects foster trust and relatability.
Focused Messaging: Addressing specific health concerns like maternal health or infectious diseases ensures the message resonates with the target audience.
Community Engagement: Partnering with local influencers, health workers, and NGOs to create impactful connections.
2. Enhancing Brand Visibility
Rebuilding visibility requires a multi-channel approach that combines digital innovation with on-the-ground presence.
Digital Strategies: Utilizing social media platforms, telehealth initiatives, and online health communities to reintroduce brands to consumers.
On-the-Ground Engagement: Organizing health camps, product demonstrations, and partnerships with local pharmacies to strengthen community ties.
Collaborations: Working with government initiatives like eSanjeevani to enhance reach and accessibility.
3. Professional Field Forces for Deeper Connections
Our skilled field representatives are key to bridging the gap between healthcare professionals, retailers, and end consumers.
Educating doctors about updated product benefits to reinforce trust.
Building relationships with pharmacists to improve product availability and recommendations.
Conducting grassroots campaigns to re-establish the brand’s relevance.
4. Data-Driven Strategies for Precision
Every decision we make is powered by data, from identifying high-potential rural areas to tracking the success of our campaigns.
Market Research: Insights from reports like those by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) guide our approach.
Real-Time Feedback: Continuous feedback loops allow us to adapt strategies based on on-the-ground realities.
Predictive Analytics: Leveraging data to anticipate trends and stay ahead of the curve.
Real Results, Tangible Impact
Our strategies don’t just promise results—they deliver them.

Sales increased by 35% within a year.
