Benchmarking for 2024: Understanding the Life Science Customer Experience
As life science researchers continue to elevate their expectations, understanding customer experience enables suppliers to identify areas of improvement and benchmark against their key competitors. In 2024, we continued a longitudinal study to support suppliers looking to improve their customer experience strategy. The outcome is our latest report, Benchmarking for 2024: Understanding the Life Science Customer Experience.
This study offers an in-depth analysis of the performance of 28 different suppliers across multiple years (2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024), with a deep dive into how supplier strategies have shaped customer experience scores over time. In the 2024 edition, we asked 760 scientists to evaluate their experiences during specific touchpoints, such as product awareness, selection, service, and support. Respondents were probed on their perceptions of the believability of advertising, ease of searching for products, satisfaction with promotions and pricing, interactions with service customer support, and more. The report includes a Tableau workbook and will allow you to:
- Uncover and compare single and multi-year customer experience performances for 28 leading brands.
- Explore touchpoint-specific trends since 2016.
- Gain insights into customer satisfaction drivers across different market segments and regions.
- Track generational shifts in customer experience expectations.
The Tableau workbook is fully interactive, and can be used to export charts for presentations, further research, or other needs. This will allow you to target your benchmarking to your customers.

This report equips teams with the insights needed to stay ahead in the competitive life science market. Understanding customer experience enables suppliers to cultivate relationships with current customers and build relationships with new ones.
