The Middle East and North Africa Clinical Trial Infrastructure Market was valued at USD 896.4 million in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 1.3 billion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 6.2%.

This report provides an overview of the clinical trial infrastructure markets in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It includes a detailed examination of the market dynamics and an understanding of the MENA clinical trial landscape by study status, phase, type, results and sponsor type.

The MENA region presents a unique and attractive opportunity for clinical trial market studies. The region has a diverse and rapidly growing population with varying genetic backgrounds, making it ideal for studying disease heterogeneity and treatment efficacy across different demographics. This diversity can significantly contribute to the global understanding of diseases and enhance the generalizability of clinical trial outcomes. Moreover, the MENA region is witnessing a rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and neurological conditions, which necessitates increased research efforts to address the growing healthcare burden.

Report Scope

This report analyzes the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) clinical trial markets, using 2023 as a benchmark year, and offers projections for the forecast period from 2024 to 2029, with estimates of compound annual growth rates (CAGR). The report covers many aspects of the market, including clinical advances, economic factors and business considerations, and outlines the market forces impacting the industry and its phases, study types and therapeutic areas. The report segments the clinical trial market into services, solutions and supplies, and examines the regional dynamics influencing the market.

This report excluded Turkey and Israel from its scope because their clinical trial markets are significantly more advanced than other countries in the MENA region. Including these markets would have skewed the analysis and not accurately reflected the opportunities and challenges the rest of the region faces. This approach ensures a focused examination of MENA's emerging clinical trial landscape, which may be more relevant for companies seeking to expand into less mature markets.

The report includes:

  • Analysis of the Middle East and Northern Africa's (MENA) regional markets for clinical trial infrastructure
  • Analyses of the market trends, with revenue data for 2023, estimates for 2024, and projected CAGRs through 2029
  • Estimate of the current market size and revenue prospects, accompanied by a market share analysis by sponsor type, clinical trial phase, service type, study type, therapeutic area, and country
  • An understanding of the opportunities and progressions in clinical trial studies by some select countries in emerging MENA markets
  • Facts and figures pertaining to the current market dynamics, advancements in technology, regulations and prospects
  • Insights of the ripple effects of the Ukraine-Russia war on clinical trial operations, including supply chain disruptions, regulatory challenges, and patient recruitment and retention
  • Analysis of the industry structure, including stakeholders' market shares, clinical trial product/services mapping, and recent key developments
