U.S. Real-World Evidence Solutions Market by Component, Application, End User - Forecast to 2029

U.S. Real-World Evidence (RWE) Solutions Market by Component [Datasets (Clinical, Claims, Pharmacy), Services], Application (Market Access, Oncology, Neurology, Post Market Surveillance), End User (Pharma Companies, Providers)- Forecast to 2029

The U.S. RWE solutions market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.1% from 2022 to 2029 to reach $2.22 billion by 2029

Following a thorough secondary and primary research and in-depth analysis of the market scenario, the report carries out the key industry drivers, restraints, challenges, and opportunities.

Growing incidence of chronic & infectious diseases, delays in drug development and the subsequent increase in development costs, rising focus towards personalized healthcare, a shift from volume to value-based care, and rapidly growing big data in healthcare are the key factors driving steady growth in the U.S. RWE solutions market. Further, significant opportunities for existing market players and new entrants are provided by rising focus on end-to-end RWE services, and rising adoption of wearable devices and AI in RWE.

Based on component, in 2022, the datasets segment is expected to command the largest share in the market. Real-world data (RWD) are derived from various sources associated with outcomes in a heterogeneous patient population in real-world settings. Datasets are present in a secondary format on which retrospective studies are conducted to generate real-world evidence. This real-world evidence provides meaningful insights into unmet needs and the clinical and economic impacts on patients and healthcare systems. It also determines the outcomes based on much larger data samples, reduces costs, and improves the efficiency of clinical trials.

Based on application, the drug development & approvals segment is expected to show the fastest growth rate in the forecast period. Factors attributing towards the growth of this segment are increasing demand for real-world data and real-world evidence to accelerate drug discovery and development, and increasing investments by biopharmaceutical companies in R&D.

In the field of drug development, quality-of-life metrics, and Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are now becoming common elements in clinical trials. The evidence generated from real-world data is regularly utilized to inform aspects of drug development. The role of RWE in drug development is expanding as RWE studies are significantly less costly and time-consuming than RCTs, providing easier access to long-term effectiveness data and helping overcome some of the feasibility barriers of running RCTs.

Based on end user, the pharmaceutical & medical device companies segment is expected to show the fastest growth rate in the forecast period. The growth of this segment is primarily attributed to the increasing importance of RWE studies in drug development & approvals and the growing need to avoid costly drug recalls and assess drug performance in real-world settings.

The cost of developing a new drug was more than ~USD 2,600 million in 2020 compared to USD 802 million in 2003. This increase in drug development costs reflects various technical, regulatory, and economic challenges pharmaceutical R&D pipelines face.
