Clinical Trial Supplies Market Forecast, Trends, Scope by 2031
The Clinical Trial Supplies Market size is projected to reach US$ 8085.87 million by 2031 from US$ 3819.36 million in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 9.9% in 2024–2031. With the increasing costs of drug discovery, clinical trial supplies are obtaining more importance. In addition, implementing more stringent handling requirements for a type of biopharmaceutical product starting clinical trials and clinical trial supplies strategy needs to be continuously improved. The growth of the global clinical trials supplies market is attributed to key driving factors such as increasing R&D expenditures in the pharmaceutical & biopharmaceutical companies, increase in the number of clinical trials, and higher costs of drug development in developed nations. However, the rising cost of drug development and clinical trials and challenges for clinical trials due to the coronavirus's negative impact are expected to restrain the market growth during the forecast years. The significantly growing chronic diseases across the world are likely to remain a clinical trial supplies market trend.
Clinical Trial Supplies Market Analysis
The growing healthcare sector in developing countries of Asia-Pacific creates better opportunities for the clinical trial supplies management market players to expand their business. The huge patient population in these countries is generating demand for more clinical trials. More clinical trials are conducted in the Asia Pacific than in the US or Europe. This shift is ascribed to low operational costs, large patient recruitment potential, contract research organization's growth, favorable regulatory environment, and better clinical trial capacity and quality. In developed regions such as North America and Europe, ~35% of trials are delayed due to problems in patient recruitment, and one-fifth of the trials are refrained from enrolment due to insufficient subjects. As per the report “Clinical Trials in Asia: A World Health Organization database study,” from 2008 to 2017, the average yearly rise in the number of clinical trials conducted was 41.9% in Iran, 27.1% in Sri Lanka, 23.3% in China, 21.3% in India, 18.4% in Japan, 14.7% in Thailand, 8.4% in Malaysia, and 12.9% in Korea.
The rising number of clinical trial supply market players is expected to drive the global clinical trial supplies market.

Clinical Trial Supplies Market Drivers and Opportunities
High Incidence of Chronic Diseases to Favor Market
The high incidence of chronic diseases in Asia is a key factor likely to contribute to the surge in the number of clinical trials in Asia. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), non-communicable diseases cause 55% of the total deaths, ~8 million every year, in the region. In addition, pharmaceutical companies are likely to conduct drug trials for treating gastroesophageal or liver cancer in China or Korea, respectively, as these countries have many patients suffering from these diseases. Moreover, clinical trials in Asia cost ~30–40% less than in the US and the EU as the doctor visits and medical treatments and procedures are less pricey in Asian countries. Such a factor is anticipated to increase the clinical trials, thereby contributing to the clinical trial supplies market growth.
Outsourcing Clinical Trial Services
Outsourcing clinical trials from contract manufacturers and service providers provides sufficient time for pharmaceutical drug manufacturers to develop other drug formulations, maintain frequent and constant communication with other pharmaceutical companies, and prevent risks and other benefits. Companies such as Fisher Clinical Services, Inc., PAREXEL International, and Piramal Pharma Solutions offer logistics and distribution services to pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies. Thus, the factors mentioned above are responsible for the growth of the clinical trial supplies market size.
Clinical Trial Supplies Market Report Segmentation Analysis
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the clinical trial supplies market analysis are product & services and stage.
- Based on products & services, the market is segmented into manufacturing, packaging & labelling, and logistics & distribution. The logistics & distribution segment held the largest share of the market in 2023; the segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period. The logistics and distribution segment is estimated to be the largest segment by product and service, owing to the rising contract manufacturing in the pharmaceutical industry. The cost required for the clinical trial process is much higher. Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies invest a lot in strict handling of pharmaceutical operations during clinical trials. Thus, various pharmaceutical companies outsource their clinical trials to avoid the unnecessary handling costs due to overproduction, oversupply, and inventory expiration. Thus, the factors are responsible for the growth of the clinical trials supply & logistics market.
- Based on stage, the clinical trial supplies market is segmented into phase I, phase II, phase III, and bioequivalence studies. The Phase III segment held the largest share of the market in 2023 and is estimated to register the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period. Phase III clinical trial stage is done for large patient groups. The phase III clinical trial stage assists in determining the short-term and long-term efficacy of the active pharmaceutical ingredients. Thus, the assessment is done for the formulated drug's total and associated therapeutic values. As many patients are involved in the clinical trials of phase III, it is important to maintain the efficacy, safety, and accuracy of the drug, which otherwise may result in adverse effects of the drugs in many patients registered for the phase III clinical trials. Shertech Manufacturing is one such company that offers phase III clinical trial services, and it offers comprehensive, definitive data related to efficacy and side effects to its customers. It also assists in complying with FDA standards that further assist in introducing the drug into the market and completing the required licensing applications. Thus, pain management contributes to the clinical trial supplies market and is expected to continue the trend during the forecast period.
