Real-world Evidence Solutions Market Size, Share, Forecast, & Trends Analysis by Component (Datasets [Clinical, Claims, Pharmacy], Services) Application (Market Access, Drug Development & Approvals, PMS), and End User - Global Forecast to 2031
The global RWE solutions market was valued at $2.62 billion in 2023. This market is expected to reach $6.37 billion by 2031 from an estimated $2.94 billion in 2024, at a CAGR of 11.7% during the forecast period of 2024-2031.
Following a comprehensive primary & secondary study and an in-depth analysis of the market scenario, this report provides the key drivers, constraints, challenges, and opportunities of the industry. This market is driven by the growing incidence of chronic diseases, delays in drug development and the consequent increase in development costs, the rising focus on personalized healthcare, a shift toward value-based care, and the growing adoption of real-world evidence solutions in drug development & commercialization. For instance, IQVIA introduced One Home for Sites in June 2024. This digital platform serves as a dashboard for all the essential systems and tasks needed by a clinical research site to conduct clinical trials.
Furthermore, emerging economies and a rising focus on end-to-end RWE services provide significant growth opportunities for the real-world solutions market. However, the market's expansion may be constrained by the unwillingness to rely on real-world research and the absence of quality control in data collection. Additionally, the lack of standardized methodologies for developing RWE and data privacy and security concerns pose a major challenge for the players operating in this market.
Among components, in 2024, the datasets segment is expected to account for the largest share of the RWE solutions market. RWE datasets originate from a range of sources related to patient outcomes in diverse populations in real-world contexts. With regard to unfulfilled needs and the financial and clinical effects on patients and healthcare systems, this solution offers insightful information. Additionally, it bases results on far larger data sets, lower expenses, and more effective clinical trial management.
Among applications, in 2024, the market access & reimbursement/coverage decisions segment is expected to account for the largest share of the RWE solutions market. Using predictive analysis and data-driven insights, RWE solutions for market access enable a comprehensive assessment of a medical product's efficacy and value, which can support value-based pricing strategies and result in favorable reimbursement outcomes. The significant market share is ascribed to several factors, including escalating healthcare expenses, growing regulatory body acceptance of RWE, expanding significance of clinical value evidence in coverage determinations, and the availability of supplementary data regarding treatment efficacy in routine care environments and heterogeneous patient cohorts.
Among end users, in 2024, the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies segment is expected to account for the largest share of the RWE solutions market. Several variables, including the growing use of RWE to gather real-time post-trial data about medications, monitor drug reactions, and prove the worth of newly created therapies outside of clinical trials, as well as expedited drug trials and extended approvals, are responsible for a substantial share of the segment.
An in-depth analysis of the global RWE solutions market's geographical scenario provides detailed qualitative and quantitative insights for the five major geographies (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). It covers the major countries in each region.
In 2024, North America is expected to account for the largest share of the global RWE solutions market, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. The substantial share of North America can be attributed to various factors, including the rising incidence of chronic illnesses, stricter guidelines for medication approvals, the 21st Century Cures Act, the broad accessibility of electronic datasets, a firmly established healthcare industry, and the growing application of big data in healthcare.
