For instance, in June 2020, eClinical Solutions LLC, collaborated with Karyopharm Therapeutics on randomized clinical trials for low-dose selinexor, an XPO1 inhibitor, in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19. Thus, with increasing severity of pandemic, the demand for development of COVID-19 vaccine increases thereby, accelerating the market growth.
Moreover, various companies developed analytical software to manage the impact of COVID-19 on their on-going trials. For instance, eClinical Solutions, Inc. developed “elluminate COVID-19 Analytics”, based on industry and client feedback to help sponsors manage the impact of COVID-19 on their ongoing trials.
Owing to the increasing volume of data generated at the time of clinical development processes, the demand for analysing and tracking clinical data increases, thus, the adoption of eClinical solutions is noted to increase in clinical trials.
Moreover, eClinical solutions offer enhanced site performance, improved efficiency of clinical trials and optimize the cost by eliminating redundant data entries. Such aforementioned factors are expected to boost the market growth. Furthermore, the fast-paced adoption of eClinical solutions such as RTSM in order to enrol and randomize patients coupled with efficient trial drug supply management is noted to augment the eClinical solutions Market forecasts.
High capital cost coupled with periodic maintenance costs of eClinical solutions is one of the major barriers that can affect the widespread market adoption. Moreover, the drug development processes require high investment, and the cost is noted to further increase by implementation of software. The costs further intensify as recently several sponsors are focusing on simultaneously operating multi-site clinical trials.
For instance, the cost of an Electronic Data Capture (EDC) software is in the range of USD 1,000 and USD 5,000 per month of usage, depending on the type of solution. Similarly, the implementation cost of clinical trial management system (CTMS) offered by Medidata costs around USD 1,000 per month. Thus, high cost of implementation and maintenance of such solutions will restrain the eClinical solutions market growth.

Based on solution, the eClinical solutions market is segmented into randomization and trial supply management (RTSM), clinical data management system (CDMS), clinical trial management system (CTMS), electronic clinical outcome assessment (eCOA), electronic trial master file (eTMF), electronic data capture (EDC) and others. Electronic data capture (EDC) segment held the revenue share of 21.9% in 2021 and is projected to show robust CAGR over the forecast period.
Electronic data capture (EDC) is used for collecting and analysing clinical trial data in an electronic format. Thus, EDC reduces the time to collect data and increases data accuracy for studies of medical devices and drugs. As the adoption of virtual clinical trial models increases, the segment is estimated to gain prominence throughout the pharma & biopharmaceutical industries.
Based on delivery mode, the eClinical solutions market is divided into licensed enterprise (on-premises) solutions, cloud-based (SAAS) solutions and web-hosted (On-Demand) solutions. The web-hosted (on-demand) solution accounted for USD 3,869.0 million in 2021 and is expected to register lucrative CAGR during the forecast period. High growth rate is due to various advantages associated with web-hosted (on-demand) solution such as easy usability, accessibility and relatively lower investments required.
Moreover, web-hosted product is easily customizable owing to which it can be customize for different customer groups, thereby supplementing the market growth. Additionally, these products maintain client data on cloud server which is easily accessible through web and requires only computer hardware with an internet connection.
Based on clinical trial phase, the eClinical solutions market is segmented into phase I, phase II, phase III and phase IV. Phase III segment accounted for market revenue of USD 3,383.2 million in 2021 and is expected to show similar trends between 2021 to 2027. Increasing number of drugs successfully reach to phase III will push the segmental growth, thereby propelling the market expansion. Furthermore, phase III clinical trial requires large number of participants for determining the effectiveness of drug, owing to which the complexity of study increases.
The end-use segment of eClinical solutions market is bifurcated into contract research organizations, medical device companies, pharma & biopharmaceutical companies, hospitals & clinics, and others. The contract research organization (CRO) segment is expected to show steady CAGR of around 12.5% during the analysis period. High segmental growth rate is due to the rising number of CROs in the market.
Moreover, increasing demand for outsourcing clinical trials to various CROs, to minimize the R&D expenses by pharma & biotech companies will further boost the segmental growth, thereby supplementing the market. Furthermore, clinical data management system (CDMS) and electronic data capture (EDC) are the most prominent eClinical solutions adopted by various CROs to manage growing data volumes.
