Comprehensive pharmacovigilance and active monitoring systems are required to quickly, effectively, and safely use novel vaccinations in varied populations. Thus, the rising incidence of adverse drug reactions and safety issues is anticipated to accelerate the demand for pharmacovigilance services amid the pandemic.
Global Pharmacovigilance Market Segmental Overview
The report analyses the global Pharmacovigilance Market based on clinical trial phases, service provider, types of reporting, end-user, and Region.
Global Pharmacovigilance Market by Clinical Trial Phase
Based on the clinical trail phases, the Pharmacovigilance market is divided into Preclinical I, phase I, phase II, phase III, phase IV. The phase IV (post-marketing) segment led the overall market with a dominant market share in 2023. These solutions act as an additional safety measure for the drugs undergoing clinical trials. Phase IV is an imperative stage of clinical trials as unsuspected adverse drug reactions can be detected in this stage. Therefore, the data collected and assessed during this stage is expected to be of the highest relevance owing to intensive drug testing on a large patient base of highest relevance after commercialization of the drug.
The phase III segment is expected to witness lucrative growth in the forecast period. Phase III trials are done to determine and establish the efficacy of drugs. These trials also provide additional information regarding possible drug interactions, drug safety, and effectiveness before the commercialization of the drug. The aforementioned factors are expected to boost revenue generation in the segment over the forecast period.
Global Pharmacovigilance Market by Service Provide
By service provider, the industry is bifurcated into In-house, and Contract Outsourcing. Contract outsourcing held the dominant revenue share in 2023 and is expected to witness the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the benefits associated with outsourcing such as risk mitigation, resource flexibility, reduction of upfront investments, and lower fixed costs. Contract outsourcing organizations provide solutions such as process design Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), PV audits, and other customized services.
The dynamic growth of the contract outsourcing segment can also be attributed to the rapidly emerging CROs providing end-to-end clinical trial solutions, especially in the emerging economies of Asia Pacific, such as India, China, and Japan, thereby enabling resources sharing, cost efficiency, resource flexibility, and expansion of operative capabilities. Outsourcing PV services is accompanied by benefits such as delivering services pertinent to highly complex regulatory requirements, helping to add scalability to accommodate growing product portfolios, and achieving aggressive cost targets. Contract outsourcing also helps reduce the complexity of clinical trials, allows faster approval of trials, and helps effective utilization of internal resources.
Global Pharmacovigilance Market by Type of Reporting
Based on Type of Reporting, the industry is categorized into Spontaneous Reporting, Intensified ADR Reporting, Targeted Spontaneous Reporting, Cohort Event Monitoring, and EHR Mining. Spontaneous reporting held the largest share in 2023 owing to wide usage in the detection of new, serious, and rare ADRs. Moreover, this segment serves as an efficient and inexpensive method. Wide usage of surveillance reports generated through this method by pharmaceutical industries and regulatory authorities is also responsible for the significant growth of the segment.
Cohort Event Monitoring (CEM) emerged as the second-largest segment in 2023 owing to its increasing application in the detection of a wide range of adverse clinical events. Conjugation of CEM with statistical tools and data mining systems such as longitudinal health records are responsible for the growing popularity of this type. It serves as an active form of surveillance method, which can also be used for new as well as older medicines, thus driving the segment.
