Market Overview
The biopharmaceutical market and its manufacturing capabilities have undergone a profound transformation during the period 2010-2020. The open global market and regulatory reforms within the industry have led to a better outscoring probability. The CROs, imaging CROs, and contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) are adding quality, cost-effectiveness, and manufacturing capacity to the existing pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical devices companies. Moreover, the big pharmaceutical firms are building their manufacturing and buying capacity from the smaller firms to improve their production.
The growing number of clinical trials, growing pharmaceutical pipeline, increasing awareness toward process automation, growing demand for high precision in drug manufacturing, and an increasing dependency of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology companies on the CROs for conducting imaging trials are the main factors driving the growth of the global imaging CRO market.
With the increasing dependency of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms on the imaging CROs for outsourcing the medical imaging step of a clinical trials study, the overall market of imaging CROs is expected to grow at a high rate. According to an article published by Keosys Medical Imaging in 2018, the total number of clinical trials conducted each year has nearly doubled in 2020 compared to 2010. However, the growth in the number of clinical trials with medical imaging involved has increased five times, i.e., by around 500%.
With several companies eagerly competing to establish dominance in the global imaging CRO market, several emerging companies have undertaken significant activities to establish their position in the market. Although these companies are currently far behind the market leaders, some of them have made significant strides to grow into major players, owing to initiatives undertaken to expand their respective product portfolio and geographical reach.
Healthcare experts have found imaging CRO to be one of the most rapidly evolving markets. The global market for imaging CRO is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 7.25% during the forecast period 2021-2031. As per the publisher, the imaging CRO comprises the ecosystem of multiple services offered, modalities used, and the target customers who can take strategic decisions with the given insights.
The following report presents the reader with an opportunity to unlock comprehensive insights with respect to the global imaging CRO market and helps in forming well-informed strategic decisions. The market research study also offers a wide perspective of the different types of specialty imaging CROs available in the market and their impact on the biopharmaceutical industry by providing critical insights into the direction of its future expansion.
Based on region, North America dominated the global imaging CRO market in 2020 and is expected to grow at a high CAGR from 2021 to 2031. The growing number of clinical trials conducted in the region generates high demand for imaging CROs to distribute workload and cost-effectiveness. In addition, major end users in the region are adopting advanced imaging equipment and automation at a fast pace for efficient processing. Also, the industry’s largest CROs operate in this region as government regulations and programs support the overall growth of the companies. Europe held the second-largest share of the global imaging CRO market in terms of revenue in 2020, followed by Asia-Pacific.
Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the investment in research and development in biopharmaceutical companies has increased significantly. Researchers, scientists, and skilled personnel around the world are involved in the development of vaccines and drugs for the treatment of SARS-CoV virus infection, and this scenario is predicted to directly boost the demand for CROs for large scale production in a shorter period, thus enhancing the overall market of imaging CRO.
Within the research report, the market is segmented based on service, modality, application, phase, and end user. Each of these segments covers the snapshot of the market over the projected years, the inclination of the market revenue, underlying patterns, and trends by using analytics on the primary and secondary data obtained.
