Global pediatric clinical trials market is estimated to be valued at USD 17.54 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The pediatric clinical trials market is witnessing significant growth in recent times. Growing prevalence of chronic diseases among children and rising demand for new treatment options have boosted the pediatric clinical trials industry. Further, the market has witnessed rising investment from pharmaceutical companies for drug development targeting pediatric population. Growing awareness about rare diseases and various initiatives undertaken by regulatory bodies mandating clinical evaluation of drugs for pediatric use have augmented market opportunities. However, conducting clinical trials for pediatric drugs is more complex and challenging than adult trials due to ethical concerns, age specific drug metabolism, difficulty in recruitment, and lack of consensus over surrogate endpoints. Nevertheless, with emerging novel medical therapies and continuous efforts by players towards developing child-friendly drugs, the pediatric clinical trials market is poised to experience strong growth over the forthcoming years.

Market Dynamics:

The global pediatric clinical trials market growth is driven by the rising incidence of chronic diseases among children, growing demand for new treatment modalities, and initiatives undertaken by regulatory bodies to streamline drug development process. In 2021, as per WHO estimates, over 200 million children suffer from various non-communicable illnesses worldwide. High unmet clinical needs have encouraged pharmaceutical companies to boost investments towards developing specialized treatments for pediatric population. Favorable regulations such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's amendments Act 2012 have mandated pre-marketing clinical evaluation of drugs for pediatric use, thereby augmenting market opportunities. However, complexities involved in pediatric clinical research and lack of sufficient surrogate endpoints continue to negatively impact market growth. High costs associated with trials and inadequate number of experienced clinical investigators also impede broader market adoption. Nevertheless, continual collaborations between industry players and research organizations to address issues through novel approaches will support future expansion.
