Clinical Trial Supplies Market Innovations Are Enhancing Efficiency And Compliance

Clinical Trial Supplies Industry Overview

The global clinical trial supplies market size was estimated at USD 2.58 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% from 2024 to 2030. Globalization, and rise in the number of biologics & biosimilar drugs in clinical trials are among the major factors expected to drive the market growth. Rapid adoption of a supply chain management system to surmount R&D expenditure pressure and increase operational efficiency, as clinical trial supplies account for a large share of the total R&D expenditure of biopharmaceutical companies, is anticipated to propel market growth in near future. There has been a significant rise in biologics and temperature-sensitive drugs in clinical trials.

Most clinical trials are currently being conducted in developing economies. The increasing cost of clinical trials and complications in the recruitment of patients have encouraged biopharmaceutical companies to outsource clinical trials to regions such as Asia Pacific, Latin America, Central & Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. Disease variation in developing economies further aids biopharmaceutical companies in performing clinical trials on rare diseases. Some regions, such as Asia Pacific, also provide greater economic benefits to biopharmaceutical companies, as governments in Singapore and China allocate funds to promote biomedical research. In Latin America, patient recruitment is easy due to reduced language barriers, which can help obtain informed consent easily, resulting in a faster clinical trial process.

There has been a significant investment in supply chain management software by clinical trial supply providers. Growing complexity in clinical trials and increased competition among market players are factors responsible for adopting new technologies in supply chain management. The need for software for inventory management, supply chain planning, and ancillary supply chain management is expected to grow, owing to industry players' increasing adoption of new technologies. For instance, in pharmaceutical manufacturing, the application of digital twin technology facilitates the expedited development of drugs, which is achieved by using real-world data to generate simulations within a laboratory setting, enabling scientists to anticipate responses to biological processes under specific circumstances.
