The evolution of drug discovery and development processes has increased research complexities and costs for pharmaceutical companies, compelling them to outsource their research activities. Moreover, abbreviated drug development cycles have increased the demand for external service providers having expertise and infrastructure across varied therapeutic areas. These factors have boosted the contract clinical research organization market growth significantly.
