Global Outsourced Drug Discovery Market Insights
Outsourcing is a strategy, by which a pharmaceutical company hires another company such as contract research organization for planned and existing activities including drug discovery, preclinical development, and clinical research. Outsourcing is an agreement between contract research organization and pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and chemical industries. Contract research organizations (CROs) manage almost all aspects of drug discovery including clinical data management, data entry and validation, safety and efficacy summaries, medicine and disease coding, quality and metric reporting, validation programming, statistical analysis plans and reports, and final study report.
The global outsourced drug discovery market was valued at US$ 20.7 billion in 2017, and is expected to witness a CAGR of 12.1% during the forecast period (2019 – 2026).
