Global Pediatric Clinical Trials Market: Drivers

Need For New Vaccines, Biologics

According to Straits Research, “The global pediatric clinical trials market size was valued at USD 14.33 billion in 2021 and is predicted to reach at USD 22.69 billion by 2030, increasing at a CAGR of 5.24% from 2022 to 2030.” Demand for innovative vaccines and other biologic products to treat measles, mumps, TB, and rubella may fuel market growth. WHO reports that 86% of infants are inoculated against 26 diseases, while 19.5 million children are not, resulting in 2-4 million child deaths every year.

According to the CDC, 0.6% of 0-17-year-old American children have epilepsy (CDC). According to the IDF's Diabetes Atlas 2017, 463 million people will have diabetes by 2019. One million kids and teens have type 1 diabetes.

Pediatric Cancer Cases Are Soaring

Medical facilities and research organizations around the world are working on developing therapeutic drugs for pediatric cancer, increasing pediatric clinical trials. According to a February 2022 report from ASCO, 10,470 children under 15 would be diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. According to the WHO, diarrhea, malaria, pneumonia, and sepsis are the leading causes of death in 1-9-year-olds. The rise in these illnesses has fueled the search for new therapies. So, market growth should increase.

Many children have diabetes and viral disorders. 210,000 kids and teens under 25 were diagnosed with diabetes in 2018, according to the CDC. The market is expected to rise as major research institutes focus more on pediatric cancers.
