North America has established itself as the dominant region in the global pharmacovigilance market. The region is expected to account for 40.2% of the market share in 2024. The region is home to some of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world as well as many contract research organizations (CROs) specializing in pharmacovigilance services. Stringent regulatory requirements for drug safety monitoring imposed by regulatory bodies such as the FDA have driven significant investments by pharmaceutical and biotech firms in building robust pharmacovigilance systems. Many companies also outsource parts of their pharmacovigilance operations to well-established CROs based in the U.S. and Canada to ensure compliance and leverage local expertise. In addition, North America attracts high-skilled pharmacovigilance professionals due to comparatively higher wages. These factors have enabled North American firms to be pioneers in developing innovative pharmacovigilance technologies and solutions.

The Asia Pacific region has emerged as the fastest growing market for pharmacovigilance industry globally. Countries like India, China, South Korea, and Japan have seen increased adoption of advanced pharmacovigilance practices in recent years. This can be attributed to rising generics production, expanding clinical trials by multinational players and growing expertise of local CROs. India in particular has developed into a global sourcing hub for pharmacovigilance services due to availability of low-cost yet skilled workforce. Several large pharmaceutical companies have established regional pharmacovigilance centers or partnered with Indian CROs to consolidate post-marketing safety operations. Simultaneously, drug regulators in Asia Pacific have also been strengthening regulations relating to pharmacovigilance and promoting safety best practices.
