Nearly half of US adults say happy pharma ads feel misleading

Key stat: 45% of US adults say pleasant and happy visuals in pharma ads are misleading, according to November 2025 data from SiriusXM Media.

Beyond the chart:

  • 23% of US adults in 2025 say the healthcare system is in a state of crisis, the highest share recorded this century, according to a December 2025 survey from Gallup News Service West.
  • 52.1% of US consumers say personalized healthcare advertising invades their privacy, according to January 2025 data from StackAdapt and EMARKETER.

Use this chart: Pharma marketers should rethink the overuse of cheerful visuals during side effect disclosures. Consider a more transparent, empathetic approach that aligns tone with messaging—boosting credibility without sacrificing engagement.
