Global Non-Clinical Trials Market - 2023-2030
Global Non-Clinical Trials Market reached US$ 11.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 15.3 billion by 2030, growing with a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period 2023-2030.
By conducting non-clinical trials, researchers can identify and address safety issues early in the drug development process, reducing the risk of harm to human participants in later clinical trials. Non-clinical trials help determine appropriate dosages for clinical trials by studying the compound's pharmacokinetics (how the body processes the compound) and pharmacodynamics (how the compound affects the body).
The global non-clinical trials market is driven by factors such as pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are always searching for new and innovative drugs to address unmet medical needs. Non-clinical trials are important in the drug development process, and regulatory agencies like the FDA and EMA require thorough preclinical testing to ensure drugs are safe and effective before moving on to clinical trials. Compliance with regulations has led to growth in the non-clinical trial market, and advances in technology have made these trials more efficient and accurate, attracting investment from pharmaceutical companies and researchers.
DynamicsIntroduction on Non-Clinical Contract Research Organization
Companies can decide whether to forward a medicine or therapy into clinical trials by investing in non-clinical trials. Companies can save a lot of money by not investing a lot of resources in clinical trials for goods that might not work if safety issues or efficacy issues are discovered in preclinical stages.
Labs conducting non-clinical studies are also centres of innovation and scientific discovery. They help to enhance knowledge in a variety of sectors and could result in unanticipated discoveries that go beyond the initial goals of the study. Additionally, the growth of new CROs contributes to market expansion.
For instance, Jun 06, 2023, leading biotechnology business Ronawk announced the establishment of STELL, a cutting-edge non-clinical contract research organisation (CRO) tasked with fostering innovation in the life sciences sector. The addition of STELL to Ronawk's portfolio marks an important turning point in the business' development and expansion, further reaffirming its position as a strategic player in the expanding biotech ecosystem of the area. Because of the aforementioned considerations, the industry is growing.
Non-clinical Studies and Reduce Reliance on Animal Testing
The FDA's efforts to enhance predictivity of non-clinical studies and reduce reliance on animal testing is one of the most important factors driving the market. In January 2021, the FDA released a report outlining its efforts to boost the predictivity of non-clinical studies while minimizing reliance on animal testing. FDA's actions to advance human and animal response predictivity to FDA-regulated products, as well as their partnerships with other organizations to promote the development and validation of alternative methods.
The FDA is dedicated to improving the accuracy of human and animal response predictivity to FDA-regulated products. To achieve this, they are collaborating with various organizations to foster the development and validation of alternative methods. The FDA is committed to ensuring that the evaluation of product safety and efficacy is conducted most efficiently and ethically possible, while simultaneously upholding the highest standards of scientific integrity.
Extensive Testing and Documentation can Often Result in Delays
Ensuring patient safety is of utmost importance when it comes to drug development. However, the process of conducting extensive testing and documentation can often result in delays. Furthermore, the use of animal testing has been a topic of ethical debate and has faced public scrutiny. This has led to calls for more stringent regulations. In response to these concerns, a new U.S. law has been passed, which will eliminate the requirement for animal testing in drug development by the year 2023. This move is expected to pave the way for more innovative and efficient drug development processes, while still ensuring patient safety and ethical considerations.
Segment AnalysisThe global non-clinical trials market is segmented based on study type, test, therapeutic area, end user and region.
Multiple Medications are often used in Novel Oncology Treatments
At every stage of the development of oncology medications, non-clinical studies are required. To study carcinogenesis, cancer progression, metastasis, and other aspects of cancer biology, numerous experimental cancer models have been created. These models have been helpful in assessing the efficacy and predicting the safety of oncology medicines. Although the diversity and degree of genetic involvement in the start of cancer cell growth and progression are well acknowledged, it is also becoming more and more obvious that host cells, the tissue microenvironment, and the immune system play significant roles in the development of cancer.
Multiple medications are often used in novel cancer treatments to improve results. The most efficient pharmacological combinations and any potential synergistic effects are determined by preclinical trials. Before approving the progression of a new drug or treatment strategy to human trials, regulatory organisations like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) frequently need a solid preclinical base. Thus, the increase in cancer cases contributes to the segment's growth.
For instance, The American Cancer Society projects that there will be 609,360 cancer fatalities and 1,918,030 new cancer cases in the US in 2022, with lung cancer accounting for about 350 of those deaths daily, making it the top cause of cancer death. Thus, the incidence of diseases and prospects for pharmaceutical businesses contribute to the segment's faster growth.
Geographical PenetrationExpanding the Research Organization in the Region
North America, particularly the United States, is a major hub for pharmaceutical and biotechnology research. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry in North America is thriving, with numerous companies, research institutions, and contract research organizations (CROs) present. This has resulted in an increased demand for non-clinical trials to support drug development activities. The region is also home to prestigious research and educational organizations dedicated to advancing biomedical research. These institutions frequently collaborate with pharmaceutical firms to meet the growing need for non-clinical trials.
For instance, on October 6, 2022, Merck, also known as MSD outside of the US and Canada, and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics announced data from two real-world evidence studies investigating the effectiveness of LAGEVRIO (molnupiravir), an investigational oral antiviral COVID-19 medicine. The first study, PANORAMIC, was conducted by the University of Oxford in the UK on highly-vaccinated adults mostly under the age of 65 during the period when the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant was predominantly circulating.
COVID-19 Impact AnalysisThe non-clinical trials market has been moderately affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. The pandemic has brought to light the ethical considerations surrounding animal testing and has resulted in heightened public scrutiny. Additionally, conducting experiments with animals has proven to be logistically complicated due to health and safety protocols. For instance, protests against animal testing have surged during the pandemic, drawing attention to the moral implications of using animals for research purposes.
The Europe Animal Research Organization has been particularly vocal about the need to reassess the role of animal testing in research, given the current circumstances. Overall, the pandemic has underscored the importance of responsible and ethical research practices, especially in the context of animal testing.

Key Developments• On March 02, 2023, in order to improve its cost structure, MorphoSys AG announced that it would halt working on its pre-clinical research programmes. Although the results from these pre-clinical programmes are encouraging, MorphoSys would need to invest a lot of money to bring them to patients. As a result, MorphoSys will lay off roughly 17% of its employees at its Planegg, Germany, headquarters. MorphoSys is currently able to concentrate resources on its mid- to late-stage cancer pipeline as a result of this decision and others that have been taken over last year.
