MARKET OVERVIEW- GLOBAL CLINICAL TRIALS SUPPLY AND LOGISTICS MARKET

Clinical trial is a research study that defines whether a medical approach, therapy, or device is effective, safe, and useful for human applications. Clinical trial inventory management is necessary to avoid overproduction, oversupply and expiration. As the cost of drug discovery rises, clinical trial supplies are becoming increasingly important. In addition, the implementation of more stringent handling requirements for a type of biopharmaceutical product starting clinical trials, the clinical trial delivery strategy needs to be continuously improved. The growth of the global clinical trial supply and logistics market is driven by factors such as the increase in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical R&D spending and the rise of various clinical trials all over the world. 

MARKET DRIVERS 

The pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sector is one of the largest sectors that spends a large amount on R&D expenditure in the world. Over the past few years, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies' R&D spending has increased significantly. This should lead to an increase in the number of clinical trials conducted around the world. Many key players have invested significantly in drug development efforts. Market companies actively seek support for research and development efforts. A further increase in R&D spending in the coming years will significantly boost drug research and development activities, thereby driving the demand for consumables for clinical trials.

On the other side, demand for biologics and orphan drugs is anticipated to be one of the key growth drivers for the market. The development of new drugs, therapies and medical devices is increasing which will complement the growth of the market. Technological advancements in the pharmaceutical and biological fields, particularly in the areas of testing and development of new medical processes, products, drugs and experiments, are expected to be largely responsible for boosting the growth of the market during the estimated time period. 

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Many companies are investing heavily to integrate state-of-the-art logistics and technology into the clinical trial cycle, accelerating the supply of necessary equipment. In addition, several governments encourage the conduct of ethical clinical trial activities that will lead to the betterment of mankind. Hence, the global clinical trial supply and logistics market is expected to expand at an immense rate in the near future. At the same time, manufacturers' increasing focus on minimizing cost and avoiding shortages of essential supplies, optimizing production and packaging, and balancing shipping and delivery costs is increasing demand for supply and efficient logistics for clinical trials. These factors are expected to provide rising new growth opportunities for the market over the forecast period. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Drug discovery and development carry high costs due to the high turnover of drug candidates under development. Because research and development for some rare diseases is challenging and requires a specific group of people to conduct a clinical trial, drug research and development processes also tend to fail. Besides, the lack of a skilled workforce in low-income countries is another factor which may restrain the market growth over the projected time period.  

MARKET GROWTH CHALLENGES

The high cost of organizing patients, the equipment required to conduct ethical clinical trials and the lack of expertise required to conduct such activities as well as time consumption are the major factors challenging the growth of the market. Many players looking to expand into unexplored markets would likely face these issues. This is also expected to be a key challenging factor for the market growth over the forecast period.
