The clinical trial software market is divided into on-enterprises and on-site segments. In 2022, on-enterprises held the dominant position, accounting for 78.6% of the market. This is due to the increasing adoption of technology in biopharmaceutical companies and the usage of clinical trial management systems. On-site deployment offers advantages to contracting research organizations, sponsors, and academic and government institutes. Biopharmaceutical companies with their own IT infrastructure find it easier to handle CTMS solutions, reducing costs and timelines.
Web-based delivery was the dominant segment in 2022, accounting for 44.5% of the market share. Major biopharmaceuticals prefer web-based delivery for seamless data management, analysis, medical writing, and regulatory submission. It enables quick reviews and efficient data collection from participants through internet platforms, reducing errors and confusion. The increasing competitiveness in the biopharma and contract research industries drives the demand for software. Web-based delivery provides faster delivery and is associated with the acceptance of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) in CTMS.
The global clinical trials software market is further segmented into EDC, eCOA/ePRO, and eConsent. EDC, also known as eCRF, is vital for collecting and analyzing patient data. The increasing demand for participant data and the use of EDC contribute to significant market growth, with a share of 46.6% in 2022.
CROs accounted for 45.7% of the market share in 2022. They experience high demand for medical research from biopharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, and other authorities. Intense competition, high investments, and low success rates of clinical trials drive the demand for CROs.
North America has the largest market share, with 34.3% in 2022. This is due to the presence of key market players, a high number of biopharmaceutical companies, and significant research and development expenditure in the region.
