Globally, the e-clinical solution software market is witnessing significant growth due to increasing clinical trials and R&D investments in pharmaceuticals and life science.

Increasing prevalence of diseases supports clinical trials in different regions. Various lifestyle-associated diseases and genetic disorders in the Middle East and North African countries also have enhanced clinical trials in those regions.

In addition, the pharmaceutical industry is facing immense pressure to reduce the timeframe of clinical trials and to raise the productivity of drugs. Presence of various end users such as pharmaceuticals, CROs and healthcare providers has increased the acceptance of e-clinical solution software.

North America is a traditional clinical trial region. The average cost of pharmaceutical R&D for a successful drug from preclinical development through FDA approval continues to increase. According to Oracle, an e-clinical software company, the percentage share of global clinical trials conducted in North America has fallen from 30% in 2006 to 19% in 2010.
