Pharmacovigilance Market expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.2% during 2015 - 2020

Introduction

The pharmacovigilance is defined as an exercise of monitoring the effects of drugs after they have been approved for use, particularly in order to identify and assess previously unreported adverse reactions. Rise in the prevalence of acute and chronic diseases has consequently led to an increase in the incidences of drug consumption, thus leading to growth in the number of adverse drug events and drug toxicity cases. Furthermore, factors such as safety regulations, risk of high-profile safety issues and large volume of post-market events to be reviewed along with negative media coverage have compelled the pharmaceutical players to take support of various outsourcing services for drug monitoring. Intensifying regulatory expectations, tougher inspection system and instant need for patient reporting are boosting the adoption rate of pharmacovigilance among pharmaceutical companies. Pharmaceutical companies are now entering into long-term partnerships/service agreements with CROs and BPOs to reduce the pharmacovigilance process related expenditure, incurred right from drug discovery to post-marketing approvals.

Market Value and Forecast

In terms of value, the global pharmacovigilance market is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 14.2% over the forecast period (2015-2020). The global pharmacovigilance market value is anticipated to increase from US$ 2,759.1 Mn in 2014 to US$ 6,104.1 Mn by 2020 end.

Market Dynamics

Growth of the pharmacovigilance market is mainly driven by rising prevalence of acute and chronic diseases, continuously increasing drug event monitoring as a result of the increasing drug consumption, surge in adverse drug reactions and drug toxicity and rise in adoption of outsourcing services. However, high risk associated with maintaining data security in pharmacovigilance outsourcing as well as unavailability of an appropriate pharmacovigilance system for herbal products in Asia Pacific might obstruct growth of the global pharmacovigilance market in the coming years.
