Global Healthcare Contract Research Organization Market Overview
The key driver impacting the healthcare contract research organization market is the rising government funding to develop new drugs worldwide. For instance, NIH funding adds to published research linked with every one of the 210 new drugs allowed by the Food and Drug Administration between 2010–2016. Communally, grant funding in total is more than $100 billion for this research. It invests over $1B in awards every year through its Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) and Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) programs. In 2019, NIH’s SBIR and STTR programs invested almost $1.2b for early-stage drug development. Also, the presence of an ever-expanding pharmaceutical industry is adding growth to the market. For instance, As per the India Brand Equity Foundation, globally Indian pharmaceutical market stands 3rd in production by volume and 14th by value. The domestic pharmaceuticals market revenue comes to $20.03 bn in 2019, which is enhanced by 9.3% from 2018. The market of the Pharma Industry in India is anticipated to attain $130 Bn by 2030. Moreover, the mounting pressure on industry players to pursue strict timelines has amplified the outsourcing research activities demand to contract research organizations (CROs), contributing to the Healthcare contract research organization's market growth in the coming years.
According to Value Market Research, the global healthcare contract research organization market size was valued at around USD 40000 million in 2020, and it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of about 6.6% during the forecast period 2021 to 2027.
The Governments and public-sector organizations that have made noticeable investments towards enhanced biomedical research are estimated to augment healthcare contract research organization in the forecast period. For instance, The NIH is the most significant public funder of biomedical research globally. It consists of 24 institutes and centers awarding $32 billion per year in grants to get better human life and decrease illness and disability. Similarly, Horizon 2020 (H2020) is the largest EU Research and Innovation program with almost €80 billion of funding available in seven years (2014 to 2020). Multinational clinical trials can seek out funding under the H2020 “Health, demographic change and wellbeing” program. The high fundings give rise to more clinical research, leading to massive market demand in the coming years. However, quality issues of CRO services may hamper the market in the long run. Also, intellectual property rights issues negatively impact the market. The current industry trends, such as the favorable environment for clinical trials in developing countries, and the high adoption of innovative trial designs, are expected to offer new lucrative market opportunities for the key players.
