Technology like AI/ML is spearheading big pharma companies by accelerating drug discovery. CROs are also stepping into the game by offering AI/ML solutions to help emerge and establish biopharmaceutical companies.
Another notable trend is the merging of CRO and CDMO activities to improve the inconsistencies in the early clinical phase trials. This merge is profoundly impacting pharmaceutical manufacturing, specifically vaccine manufacturing, both traditional adenoviral vectors and validating novel mRNA-based vaccines.
In the wake of these trends, the global CRO services market is projected to reach $163.48 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 12.1 percent. The growth is especially driven by R&D budgets from pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device companies, governments, and medical research entities.
