The increase in the number of clinical trials is expected to propel the growth of the electronic trial master file (eTMF) systems market going forward. Clinical trials are systematic investigations or studies conducted to assess the safety, efficacy, and effectiveness of human medical interventions, treatments, or procedures. These trials aim to generate reliable data and evidence to determine whether a new drug, therapy, medical device, or intervention is safe and effective for use in a specific patient population. The upsurge in clinical trials is intricately linked to the widespread adoption of electronic trial master file (eTMF) systems. As the volume and complexity of clinical research expand, eTMF systems play a pivotal role in streamlining documentation processes, ensuring regulatory compliance, and facilitating efficient collaboration among stakeholders. For instance, in November 2023, according to a report published by the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, a UK-based trade association, the total number of clinical trials increased to 411 trials in 2022 and 394 trials in 2021. The annual recruitment to industry clinical trials in the UK is up by 5,366 participants yearly to 42,088 in 2022-23. Therefore, the increase in clinical trials is expected to propel the growth of the electronic trial master file (eTMF) systems market.

Major companies operating in the electronic trial master file (eTMF) systems market are focused on developing innovative products such as cloud-based eTMF to meet the growing demand.
