Healthcare Contract Research Organization Market Segmentation

Grand View Research has segmented the global healthcare Contract Research Organization (CRO) market on the basis of type, service, and region:

Based on the Type Insights, the market is segmented into Drug Discovery, Pre-Clinical, Clinical.

  • The clinical services segment dominated the market for healthcare contract research organizations and held the highest revenue share of 76.4% in 2021. This growth is owing to the rising number of biologics, recent epidemic events leading to the demand for new treatments, the need for personalized medicinesand orphan drugs, and the demand for advanced technologies. Factors such as technological evolution, globalization of clinical trials, and demand for a contract research organization to conduct clinical trials are further projected to drive growth. Outsourcing of Phase III clinical trials to healthcare contract research organizations generated the highest revenue in 2021 due to the fact that they are one of the most expensive stages of a clinical trial; approximately 90.0% of the expenses occurring during the clinical development of a drug stem from this phase.
  • The preclinical studies segment is projected to witness a rapid growth of 8.1% during the forecast period. An increase in the number of preclinical trials globally and an increasing need to curb R&D expense are expected to contribute to the growing demand for quality preclinical CRO, thereby contributing to market growth. Moreover, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has further boosted demand for preclinical studies; a majority of the pharmaceutical companies are focusing on the research of novel therapeutics for the treatment of COVID-19 infection post-2021. For instance, in March 2021, Sanofi and Translate Bio, a clinical-stage messenger RNA therapeutics company, announced the initiation of a preclinical study for MRT5500, an mRNA vaccine candidate against SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19. Hence, the aforementioned factors will significantly support segmental growth.

Based on the Service Insights, the market is segmented into Project Management/Clinical Supply Management, Data Management, Regulatory/Medical Affairs, Medical Writing, Clinical Monitoring, Quality Management/ Assurance, Bio-statistics, Investigator Payments, Laboratory, Patient and site Recruitment, Technology, Others.

  • The clinical monitoring segment dominated the market for healthcare contract research organizations and accounted for the largest revenue share of 20.6% in 2021. This may be attributed to the increasing number of clinical trials & the need to monitor those studies that are creating more demand for these services. Clinical research is being outsourced to CROs over the past decade due to various reasons such as cost-effectiveness and technical expertise. The introduction of smart analytics along with real-time data acquisition devices is estimated to improve clinical monitoring data in the healthcare sector. Real-time data acquisition related to drug safety and toxicity enables early identification of trial errors and enables timely rectifications such as trial re-design or termination, thereby propelling segment growth.
  • The regulatory/medical affairs segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth rate of 10.8% in the Healthcare Contract Research Organization (CRO) market over the forecast period. The outsourcing for regulatory affairs is expanding rapidly due to the increase in R&D activities, clinical trial applications, product registration, and drug pipeline. The increasing demand to obtain approval for new products, maintain compliance, and do more with less is projected to support the growth of the segment.
