Electronic trial master file is a solution for collecting and managing clinical trial documents in a centralized repository. The main advantage of this software is that it helps in streamlining processes, automating information transfer and reducing the administrative process associated with conducting a clinical trial. This software is used in various life science industries such as pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies. In order to reduce the costs associated with the clinical trials approval process, government agencies such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are developing technology initiatives for supporting the use of digital media, electronic records, and digital signatures in clinical trials.

The global electronic trial master file (eTMF) market is estimated to be valued at US$ 939.6 million in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period (2021-2028).

Global Electronic Trial Master File (eTMF) Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

The COVID-19 virus outbreak has impacted the healthcare sector substantially. Pharmaceutical companies and research institutes are increasingly focusing on advancing their digital platforms related to clinical trials such as software for the rapid development of therapeutic drugs and vaccines. The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a change in the way clinical trials will be conducted. According to the TMF Futures: Keeping Data Alive, industry report published by Arkivum Ltd. a software and services company, 56% of the life science professionals say that they need to conduct more virtual trials by adopting telemedicine, remote monitoring of patients, wearable technologies, mobile apps, and devices for ensuring participants’ safety.

In addition, companies operating in the market are introducing new clinical trial solutions, which can be further attributed to the growth of the global electronic trial master file (eTMF) market. For instance, in August 2021, Cloudbyz, a clinical research and development solutions firm, launched a new cloud-based solution for decentralized clinical trials (DCTs). The solution offers advantages such as fewer data processing times and improved study administration to ensure better safety monitoring and patient enrolment campaigns.

Global Electronic Trial Master File (eTMF) Market: Restraint
