It allows companies to stay focused on core competencies while benefitting from specialized skills and insights of outsourcing partners. Various services offered include medical information, medical monitoring, medical reporting and publication planning, along with regulatory support. Advancements in technology have enabled remote and flexible working models, thus, boosting the scope of outsourced activities. Continued digitalization and growing R&D investment in drug development can drive the medical affairs outsourcing market growth.
