Market Insights

Increasing Number of Clinical Trials Propel Market Growth

Clinical trials are an important component of evidence-based medicine because they assist in determining how new medical treatments, diagnostics, or vaccines will perform. They frequently involve large groups of people to ensure that the new intervention is safe and effective. The trials are mainly carried out during drug development. According to the data provided by the National Library of Medicine (NLM), ~52,000 new studies were registered with NLM (ClinicalTrials.gov) in 2021, which increased to ~58,000 in 2023. In January 2023, the NLM reported 38,837 active clinical trials in the US and 105,172 active trials worldwide. According to the European Medicine Agency, in the European Union (EU), ~4,000 clinical trials are authorized annually, of which about 60% of clinical trials are associated with the pharmaceutical industry. An increasing number of clinical trials for developing different effective treatments due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases globally is fueling the growth of the clinical trials market. With bigger sample sizes, diversified patient demographics, and multiple study sites, clinical trials are becoming more complex. CTMS systems help to streamline trial operations, improve data management, and improve stakeholder cooperation. In addition, clinical studies create massive volumes of data that must be carefully collected, processed, and analyzed. CTMS platforms include data integration, real-time reporting, and data visualization features, allowing researchers and sponsors to make educated decisions and increase trial efficiency. Moreover, compliance with regulatory requirements is critical in the pharmaceutical sector, which is highly regulated. CTMS systems enhance compliance activities by providing tools for managing regulatory documentation, guaranteeing protocol adherence, and maintaining data integrity.

Furthermore, the launch of advanced innovations by market players is boosting the growth of the market during 2022-2031. For instance, in 2023, Oracle Corporation, a prominent technology company, introduced its newest CTMS solution, called Oracle Health Sciences Clinical One CTMS. This new solution boasts advanced features such as real-time data analytics, centralized data management, and improved compliance capabilities that aim to simplify clinical trial processes and enhance overall efficiency.

Opportunities

Integration of CTMS with Existing Systems is Creating Opportunities for CTMS Market

CTMS systems that seamlessly integrate with EHR systems can better manage patient data throughout clinical trials. Integrating electronic medical record (EMR) software with clinical trial software is seen as the logical next step in data processing, following the introduction of electronic data capture (EDC) technology that replaced paper. This integration would enable more accurate and efficient clinical trial data collection, particularly in multi-site trials. According to an article published by BMC in April 2023, a study was carried out to develop an integrated clinical trial management system to optimize the management process of clinical trials through system development methods, standardization protocols, efficient integration with external business systems, and data security and privacy protection. Efficient data integration was achieved through the use of extract-transform-load, message queue, and remote procedure call services, which connected the CTMS with external systems such as the Hospital Information System (HIS), Laboratory Information System (LIS), Electronic Medical Record (EMR), and Clinical Data Repository (CDR).

In October 2022, RealTime Software Solutions, LLC collaborated with Aspen Insights to incorporate world-class EMR/EHR patient identification technologies into RealTime's world-class Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS). The company's integration allowed clinical research sites to mine structured and unstructured EMR/EHR data for study feasibility analysis, practice population eligibility analysis, physician evaluation, and direct delivery of pre-qualified participants into RealTime-CTMS.

Report Segmentation and Scope

Type-Based Insights

Based on type, the clinical trial management system market is segmented into enterprise CTMS and on-site CTMS. The enterprise segment held the largest market share in 2022; it is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during 2022–2031. The enterprise CTMS is a complete clinical research management system for mid-to large-sized organizations with demanding requirements. The segment is growing due to technological advancements in the healthcare sector and growing product launches by the leading market players in the CTMS market.

In October 2022, Veeva Vault CTMS, launched by Veeva Systems, was chosen by 40 Contract Research Organizations (CROs), including four of the top six global CROs, to ensure faster and more efficient clinical trials. Vault CTMS is an enterprise trial management system that has been selected by more than 120 sponsors, including 9 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies.

Delivery-Based Insights

Based on delivery, the clinical trial management system market is segmented into web-hosted, cloud-based, and on-premise.

The pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies segment held the largest share of the market in 2022, and the CROs segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during 2022–2031 owing to the shift of clinical trial studies to the CROs as the life science sector is actively involved in outsourcing the drug development and clinical trial studies to CROs. CROs assist in successfully implementing clinical trials through the services offered using high-quality facilities and deep subject matter expertise. CROs have begun acting as a backbone of the clinical trial industry through their efficient and cost-effective operations benefitting trial sponsors. According to the blog published on Thermo Fisher Scientific, in 2022, ~3 out of 4 clinical trials were carried out by CROs to reassure the clinical programs of drug developers, provide a wealth of expertise, drive time and cost efficiencies, and deliver customized, high-quality data. Thus, the development of cost-effective solutions and decreasing errors in CROs during the drug development process are driving the clinical trials market growth.
