The rising integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning with pharmacovigilance and drug safety software to automate drug safety tasks is driving the market. Several key players are integrating these advanced technologies to automate the workflow in the pharmaceutical industry. For instance, in January 2024, PubHive Ltd., a provider of AI-powered scientific safety and literature information workflows, launched centralized Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) management software with AI-powered pharmacovigilance workflows for life science companies. The company offers its software to Clinical Research Organizations (CROs) and their pharmacovigilance and drug safety departments. This AI-based solution simplifies and streamlines processes and helps meet compliances, as well as empowers pharmacovigilance teams to work faster and more effectively.

Pharmacovigilance and Drug Safety Software Market Overview

Pharmacovigilance and drug safety software is a vital tool that addresses manual data entry errors and manages the huge volume of safety data, among various other challenges. From clinical trials to post-marketing surveillance, this software is indispensable throughout the drug development lifecycle. Pharmacovigilance and drug safety software helps reduce adverse event processing time and improve patient safety through early signal detection. As regulations evolve and collaboration between European companies intensifies, the adoption of pharmacovigilance and drug safety software will become imperative for pharmaceutical companies and regulatory bodies. In 2022, the Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/S) updated its guidelines on pharmacovigilance to adhere to international standards, highlighting the importance of robust pharmacovigilance and drug safety software. Also, in March 2024, The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provided guidance specifying the submission of investigational new drug (IND) safety reports for severe and suspected adverse events related to pharma drugs. These reports are submitted in electronic common technical document (eCTD) formats using PDF files. Further, the software ensures compliance with regulatory standards by facilitating the creation of comprehensive safety reports and submissions to regulatory authorities, which helps companies avoid penalties and maintain their reputation.

Pharmacovigilance and Drug Safety Software Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rise in Incidences of Adverse Drug Reactions to Favor Market

The cases of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are increasing worldwide owing to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. As all drugs have the potential for adverse drug reactions, a risk-benefit analysis is necessary whenever a drug is prescribed. ADRs remain a challenge in modern healthcare, particularly given the growing complexity of therapeutics, an aging population, and rising multimorbidity across the globe. Pharmacovigilance software enables healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies to collect, analyze systematically, and report data related to ADRs and overcome the challenges associated with it. The increasing prevalence of ADRs across the globe is propelling the demand for pharmacovigilance and drug safety software. According to the database of ADRs available in the US Food and Drug Administration's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), in 2022, more than 1.25 million severe adverse cases were reported, along with over 175,000 deaths.

ADRs are a major cause of the growing mortality death rate across the globe. According to the report of The European Union Drugs Agency (EUDA), in terms of overdoses, the mortality rate in the European Union in 2021 accounted for ~18.3 deaths per million people aged from 15 to 64. Also, at least 6,166 deaths caused by overdoses involving illicit drugs occurred in the European Union in 2021 (5,796 in 2020). This total reached ~6,677 deaths when Norway and Türkiye were included (6,434 in 2020).

Theophylline and respiratory depression exposure grows with the use of macrolide antibiotics and increased consumption of vitamin K, leading to ADRs. As more ADRs are reported and recognized, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare providers, and regulatory bodies face greater pressure to improve drug safety monitoring and reporting processes. Pharmacovigilance and drug safety software helps avoid the risks associated with excessive drug consumption. This software helps streamline the process of detecting, assessing, and preventing adverse effects, enabling faster response times and more accurate risk assessments. Thus, the rising incidences of adverse drug reactions fuel the global pharmacovigilance and drug safety software market growth.

Globalization of Pharmacovigilance

Pharmacovigilance is the process of monitoring and evaluating adverse drug reactions, and it is a major component of effective drug regulation systems, clinical practice, and public health programs. The globalization of pharmacovigilance fosters collaboration among stakeholders, including regulatory authorities, healthcare providers, and pharmaceutical companies. For instance, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has placed a growing importance on collaborating with international pharmaceutical regulators to focus on areas such as the safety of medicines, inspections, and exchange of information on issues of mutual concern. Such a collaborative environment enhances data sharing and improves the overall understanding of drug safety profiles. As companies seek to leverage these global networks, the need for integrated pharmacovigilance solutions that can operate across the globe is becoming increasingly essential.

Governments of various countries across the globe are conducting pharmacovigilance programs by collaborating with regulatory bodies in their respective countries. Regulators understand the importance of pharmacovigilance in ensuring drug safety. For instance, in North America, the US FDA regulates guidelines, laws, and regulations to conduct several practices such as the Good Clinical Practice Program (GCP) and Good Pharmacovigilance Practice Program (GVP) applicable to biomedical products. Further, in September 2024, the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission and Central Drugs Standard Control Organization published version 2.0 of their pharmacovigilance guidelines by enacting changes such as the extension of the deadline for reporting non-serious adverse ADRs events and revising the record-keeping requirements. Further, Malaysia's National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency published the second revised edition of its guidelines on bioequivalence and pharmacovigilance inspections. The agency provided more information on the drug inspection process and the scope of assessments related to drug evaluations. The Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also published detailed actions in response to feedback on the registration of new drug products and to provide information on active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for human usage.
