Johnson & Johnson and GlaxoSmithKline have been ranked among the top pharmaceutical companies by the IMS Health Social Media Engagement Index in 2014, reaching scores of 70 and 25, respectively. This study found that only 10 of the top 50 pharmaceutical companies used Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook to communicate with consumers. The use of social media in the pharmaceutical industry has increased at a slower rate than other industries, mostly due to regulatory risks. Since then, the FDA has provided a regulatory guideline for the pharma industry, while other companies have started to publish their own guidelines. As of 2013, the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry had 264 recruiters that were considered power users using LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook, compared to the 3,249 recruiters in the information technology industry.
