[Research Report] The clinical trial supplies market was valued at US$ 1,867.44 million in 2019 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2020 to 2027 to reach US$ 3,298.91 million by 2027.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

The clinical trial is an investigation study that defines whether a medical approach, therapy, or device is effective, safe, and useful for human applications. These studies help to find which therapeutic approaches experiment is best for certain diseases. Clinical trial supplies management is necessary for evading overproduction, oversupply, and inventory expiration. 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 is expected to restrain the market growth during the forecast years.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

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 enrollment 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 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% lower than in the US and the EU as the doctor visits and medical treatments and procedures are less pricey in Asian countries.

Moreover, the major players in the market, such as Catalent, Inc., Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Almac Group, Parexel International Corporation, Biocair, UDG Healthcare plc (Sharp), PCI Healthcare Services, Owens & Minor Inc., KLIFO, Rubicon Research Pvt. Ltd., CLINICAL SUPPLIES MANAGEMENT HOLDINGS, INC. are anticipated to provide significant growth opportunities to the players operating in the worldwide clinical trials supply market during the forecasted period.

Phase III clinical trial stage is done for large patient groups. The phase III clinical trial stage assist 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.
