Dublin, Nov. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Contract Research Organization (CRO) Services: Global Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The contract research organization (CRO) services market was valued at USD 111.8 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 166 billion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 8.20%.

The global CRO market's value has surged due to increased outsourcing resulting from three main factors: specialized demand, patent expiration and the rise of generic drugs. Pharmaceutical companies are looking for ways to achieve cost savings and efficiency in clinical trials, which is causing increased time-to-market pressures and margin awareness. This integrated pharma-CRO partnership results in efficiency gains, making it ideal for clinical trials with high complexity, strict timelines or broad scope.

Presently, pharma pipelines are full with advanced treatments, including regenerative cell-based therapies, CAR-T, immune-oncology combinations and autoimmune therapies. Clinical trials that utilize advanced data and analytics to enhance adaptive trial designs and patient selection, and thereby ensure the development of cutting-edge treatments for market release, are underway worldwide. Adaptive design and risk-based monitoring in studies can reduce costs and allow for adjustments as research progresses. These methods improve drug discovery, patient safety and reduce risks for patients and pharmaceutical companies. As a result, patient receptivity is high, and this is leading to the rapid growth of clinical trials globally.

Increasing numbers of chronic diseases and rising drug discovery are also boosting the growth. Chronic disease affects hundreds of millions of patients globally. Approximately 45% of the population of the Americas, or 133 million people, suffer from one or more chronic health condition. Similarly, in Europe, nearly 60 million people have more than one chronic disease. The prevalence of chronic disease is expected to rise rapidly in the forecast period (2024-2029), and this is expected to create a significant burden on global healthcare.

This unprecedented release of drugs in the market by wealthy pharmaceutical companies, is benefitting CROs. These organizations are leveraging their experience in specific clinical research phases to capitalize on the increasing importance of cost-effectiveness and time-to-market acceleration in the competitive and time-sensitive drug development market.
