Clinical Trial Management System Market Predicted to Surpass US$ 3.2 Bn by 2025


A clinical trial management system (CTMS) is a software solution targeted at the life sciences industry. The global Clinical Trial Management System Market was valued at approximately US$ 1.1 Bn in 2016 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of approximately 13% from 2017 to 2025 to reach value of approximately US$ 3.2 Bn by 2025. Increasing research and development (R&D) investment in clinical trials and integration of clinical trial management systems with hospital information system (HIS) are likely to fuel the expansion of the global clinical trial management system market from 2017 to 2025.

Clinical trial management solution is primarily employed to manage a large amount of data involved in a clinical trial including planning, preparation, and performance and reporting. The system emphasizes keeping up-to-date contact information of participants and tracking deadlines for interim reports and regulatory approvals. In some cases, CTMS may also provide data to a business intelligence system, which acts as a digital dashboard for trial managers. It provides a user-friendly infrastructure that enables clinicians to manage trials of varying complexity. However, lack of awareness, longer approval time of clinical trials, and strict regulations to enroll patients for clinical trials restrict the expansion of the market.

Unmet needs of consumers in the global clinical trial management system market create significant opportunities for existing players and new entrants in the global market. Cloud-based clinical trial management systems provide ample opportunities for players operating in the global clinical trials management system market. Some recent developments in clinical trial management system market are introduction of clinical trial transparency tracker system by MMS Holdings Inc., clinical trial data capture and security system by Icon Clinical Research Limited, and clinical trial unified platform for stakeholders by eClinicalHealth Limited.
