'The Clinical Trials Market Will Exceed $30BN by 2015' says visiongain Report

LONDON, July 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

http://www.visiongain.com/Report/641/Pharma-Clinical-Trial-Services-World-Market-2011-2021

A new report by London-based business information company visiongain predicts that world pharma clinical trial services revenues will reach $32.73bn in 2015. Revenues for those companies (CROs) totalled $21.69bn in 2010, according to Pharma Clinical Trial Services: World Market 2011-2021, published in July 2011.

Leading pharmaceutical manufacturers are increasingly seeking to outsource all stages of the drug development process. The main drivers for CRO revenue growth are the cost advantages of outsourcing and the regional and therapeutic expertise of research service providers. Off-shoring clinical trials to emerging markets, particularly India and China, will create revenue growth for global CROs. Indian and Chinese markets will grow with CAGRs over 20%, visiongain's market analysis shows.

Richard Lang, pharmaceutical industry analyst, said: "Strong therapeutic experience and significant cost savings are driving Big Pharma to outsource drug development to CROs. Full service CROs will further benefit from multi-billion dollar strategic alliances during this decade. Niche market players will benefit from the increased demand for specialised clinical trial services, particularly in cancer and CNS disorders."

Demand for late-stage development services has outgrown that for early-stage services in recent years. Pharma and biotech companies are increasingly focusing on near-registration projects to combat the impending patent cliff. Continued late-stage service demand will drive market growth from 2011 to 2015. Strategic alliances across full development programmes will secure long-term revenues for CROs.

Visiongain forecasts that the overall pharma clinical trial services market will grow rapidly to 2021. The future of the pharma clinical trial services market appears strong through increasing demand from many therapeutic areas, the report concludes. This new study complements visiongain's wide range of analytical reports in healthcare and other industry areas.
