Market Overview:
Contract research organizations (CROs) provide various clinical trial and drug development related services to pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies. The services include project management, clinical monitoring, data management, regulatory & medical affairs, medical writing and biostatistics. CRO helps reduce costs and improve efficiency for biopharmaceutical companies by outsourcing their research to CRO instead of having in-house clinical research workforce.

Market key trends:
The U.S. CRO market is witnessing high growth owing to increasing demand for outsourcing pharmaceutical research and development activities, especially clinical trials by biotech and pharmaceutical companies. Factors such as rising R&D costs, lack of in-house infrastructure and expertise and focus on core competencies has led biopharma companies to outsource most of the clinical trial activities to CROs. Other key trends include increasing clinical trials for rare diseases, favoring outsourcing clinical trials to mid-sized CROs and growing demand for specialized CRO services such as investigator site management, strategic regulatory consulting and biostatistics. Outsourcing clinical development services helps companies to efficiently manage projects, gain expertise and focus on drug development process.
