Pharmacovigilance is the branch of science that manages safety of drugs after they have been approved for use. It essentially includes dentification, evaluation, monitoring and prevention of adverse reactions associated with the usage of drugs. Pharmacovigilance is a vital part of clinical research and plays a crucial role in avoiding drug related disasters and toxicity. These exercises are worked at worldwide level and contribute towards creating health awareness and safe medication utilization among people. There are many pharmacovigilance centers globally directly implicating the definitive role of this branch of science in developing a better healthcare system.
Pharmacovigilance Market Driving Factors
- The growing prevalence of chronic conditions is expected to drive the growth of the global pharmacovigilance market. For instance, cancer accounted for nearly 9.6 million deaths in 2018, which increased from 8.9 million deaths in 2016. With the increasing prevalence of the disorders, the demand of the drugs for the treatment is increasing
- The increasing frequency of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) is the key development driver. ADR forces a significant burden on medicinal healthcare system and is one of the major reasons for morbidity in developed countries. As indicated by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), roughly 5% of complete hospitalizations in Europe every year, are because of ADR. Pharmacovigilance administrations does a necessary job in this pre-clinical stage by helping producers in distinguishing adverse impacts related with the drugs.
- The increasing demand for continuous pharmacovigilance for effective surveillance of ADRs will render several growth opportunities for the market expansion.
- prominent pharma companies in developed countries are aiming towards outsourcing PV services to decrease cost and to reduce operating costs. This is expected to serve up as an prospect for contact research organizations in emerging nations to gain more revenue share
- Manufacturers are now aiming on changing their product development processes in an effort to provide to patient needs across the worldwide. These elements are likely to boost the demand for pharmacovigilance services during the estimated timeframe.
Pharmacovigilance Market Challenging Factors
- High risk associated with data security will hamper the growth of the pharmacovigilance market
- Lack of data standardization for adverse event collection is anticipated to affect the market growth
