The Contract Research Organizations industry grew at the rate of 12% from 2009 to 2010 according to GBI Research's new market research report, Contract Research Organizations Market to 2018: Public-Private Partnerships to Strengthen Research Capacities and Advance Clinical Development Programs.

Outsourcing in Drug Development: The Contract CRO, Clinical Trial Lab and EDC Market
Estimates put the cost of developing and bringing a drug to market at over $1.3 billion. As drug development may take as long as 15 years, major pharmaceutical marketers continue to outsource stages of development, creating growing demand for Contract Research Organizations (CROs). A key cost driver during the expensive clinical trial phase is the large number of failures. Driven by pressures to reduce costs, companies are increasingly implementing outsourcing strategies to increase revenues through faster drug development.

Kalorama Information's new market research report, Outsourcing in Drug Development: The Contract CRO, Clinical Trial Lab and EDC Market, studies the drivers for outsourcing drug development, the companies involved in this market, and the opportunity for revenues. The report offers Market Size and Forecasts for Outsourcing In Drug Development, market drivers and restraints; as well as profiles of CROs, clinical trial laboratories, EDC companies and site management networks.
