Rising costs and falling productivity, among other trends are driving pharmaceutical companies to outsource an increasing range of functions to CROs in search of time and cost savings. This produced strong double-digit growth in the sector between 2003 and 2008. However, amongst other resistors, the financial crisis resulted in reduced funding available for biotech companies. This fully updated CRO Market Outlook assesses the market drivers and resistors and predicts the effects of these. The report analyzes the overarching trends in the industry; examines which regions are set to see growth in CRO activity; evaluates the leading CROs; and outlines the future of the industry. The report provides insight into conditions into seven emerging regions including China, India and Latin America. It highlights the evolving business and relationship models between CROs and sponsor companies and enables optimal outsourcing strategy.
