Electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment Solutions Global Market Report 2024

The electronic clinical outcome assessment solutions market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.45 billion in 2023 to $1.67 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.8%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to regulatory support, a patient-centric approach, data quality and accuracy, cost efficiency, and time savings, along with the increasing number of global clinical trials.

The electronic clinical outcome assessment solutions market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.84 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration with wearable devices, decentralized and hybrid trials, patient engagement strategies, security and compliance measures, and remote monitoring and site collaboration. Major trends in the forecast period include artificial intelligence in clinical trials, clinical trial digitization, advancements in mobile technology, real-world evidence integration, and an emphasis on patient-reported outcomes (PROs).

The electronic clinical outcome assessment solutions market is anticipated to experience growth due to an upswing in research and development activities. Research and development activities encompass the initiatives undertaken by companies to innovate and introduce new products and services. Electronic clinical outcome assessment solutions contribute to these endeavors by electronically capturing outcomes data in clinical trials. As an illustration, in November 2023, the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, a US-based government agency, reported that in the fiscal year 2022, academic institutions allocated a total of $97.8 billion to research and development, indicating an increase of $8.0 billion compared to fiscal year 2021. Furthermore, internal funding for Research and Development (R&D) at universities exhibited a notable rise of $2.1 billion compared to the fiscal year 2021, while R&D funding from businesses to universities saw a growth of $587 million. Consequently, the surge in research and development activities is a key driver for the electronic clinical outcome assessment solutions market.

The anticipated growth of the electronic clinical outcome assessment solutions market is attributed to the rising number of clinical trials. Clinical trials are research studies or investigations conducted on human subjects to assess the safety, efficacy, and potential side effects of medical treatments, drugs, devices, or interventions. Electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment (eCOA) solutions play a vital role in clinical trials by offering a digital and streamlined approach to collecting patient-reported outcomes and other relevant data. For instance, as reported by the US-based digital media company Xtalks in May 2023, the global registration count on ClinicalTrials.gov reached 452,604 clinical trials in 2023, marking a significant increase from the reported over 365,000 registered trials in 2021. Furthermore, among these 452,604 clinical trials, 64,838 are actively recruiting participants. Hence, the escalating number of clinical trials serves as a catalyst for the growth of the electronic clinical outcome assessment solutions market.

A prominent trend in the electronic clinical outcome assessment solutions market is the increasing adoption of technological advancements. Key players in this market are actively engaged in developing innovative platforms to enhance their market standing. As an example, in January 2021, YPrime LLC, a US-based software company within the electronic clinical outcome assessment solutions market, introduced its 5th generation electronic clinical outcome assessment (eCOA) platform. This platform is designed to offer an enhanced user experience for patients, clinical investigators, sponsors, and Contract Research Organizations (CROs). The implementation of this cutting-edge technology is anticipated to bring improvements in clinical trial efficiency, site satisfaction, and patient compliance.

Key players in the electronic clinical outcome assessment solutions market are focusing their efforts on the development of innovative solutions, notably eCOA toolkits. An eCOA (Electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment) toolkit is a collection of software tools and resources strategically designed to facilitate the implementation and management of electronic methods for gathering patient-reported outcomes and other critical clinical trial data. As an illustration, in December 2022, Suvoda, a US-based software company, unveiled its electronic clinical outcome assessments (eCOA) design toolkit. This toolkit is seamlessly integrated with Suvoda IRT and eConsent, addressing previous shortcomings that have impacted the field of eCOA. It features a specialized language and authoring tool specifically crafted for the creation of eCOA questionnaires.

In November 2021, ERT, a US-based company specializing in eCOA solutions, joined forces with Bioclinica, another US-based company operating in clinical, imaging core lab, and clinical trial technology. This merger resulted in a company with enhanced scientific expertise and unparalleled global scale, establishing the most comprehensive endpoint technology platform. The objective is to accelerate the clinical trial process, streamline trial experiences, and enable the utilization of composite endpoints. Following the merger, the combined entity was rebranded as Clario.
