Unlocking Opportunities: Clinical Research Organizations Procurement Intelligence

The clinical research organization category is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.2% from 2023 to 2030. In 2022, North America held a 40% share of the market. This is linked to the region's concentration of large pharmaceutical corporations, which are also known for their extensive drug development efforts and first-rate healthcare systems. In addition, due to changes in the market and reimbursement from generic pharmaceuticals, a number of significant pharmaceutical businesses in this region are outsourcing R&D and clinical trials.

Clinical trials are complex and require many resources. Outsourcing clinical trials to CROs can help pharmaceutical and biotech companies reduce costs, streamline business operations, and increase productivity. As more pharmaceutical companies outsource their clinical studies, the demand for CROs is growing.

Companies are continuously focusing on collaborating or developing their own technology. For instance,

In January 2023, a partnership between ICON plc and Google Cloud was announced in order to expedite the creation and distribution of clinical studies. Through the cooperation, ICON will be able to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of clinical trials by utilizing Google Cloud's artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities.

In 2021, Charles River Laboratories agreed to purchase Cognate BioServices Inc., a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) that specializes in cell and gene therapy. This acquisition is intended to help Charles River expand its scientific capabilities in the rapidly growing cell and gene therapy sector.

Category growth is expected to be fueled by the globalization of clinical trials and the demand for specialized services. The demand for specialized services is also being driven by the increasing number of rare diseases. These diseases affect a small number of patients, making it difficult to conduct clinical trials in traditional settings. CROs that can provide specialized services for rare diseases are well-positioned to capitalize on this growing market.
