The evolving threat of COVID-19 infection is optimistically affecting the market progression. Medical monitoring and safety reporting are essential as several potential therapies are being used in the treatment of COVID-19 induced infection. The medications such as hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), Remdesivir and Lopinavir/Ritonavir are being repurposed to treat COVID-19 infection. The chances of suspected adverse drug reactions for some of these medicines were already been submitted to the individual case safety reports database named VigiBase, managed by Uppsala Monitoring Centre (UMC).
 

Increasing usage of pharmacovigilance outsourcing in APAC region will boost the market value

Pharmacovigilance outsourcing is a practice carried out by pharmaceuticals or drugs manufacturing companies in which the drug safety testing processes are transferred to a third-party entity. In the past ten years, pharmacovigilance outsourcing (PVO) practices have increased rapidly due to the flexibility and cost reduction provisions it offers to a drug manufacturer. Getting drug safety processes done from a third-party allows companies to concentrate on their prime objectives and also curb the cost-associated with establishing an in-house pharmacovigilance system. Thus, many drug manufacturers are noted to opt for PVO, especially the firms in Asia-Pacific region, thereby supplementing the industry growth. Furthermore, the cost to conduct clinical trials and pharmacovigilance services in APAC is observed to remain 50%-70% lower than its developed counterparts.
 

Dearth of skilled personnel may slow the pharmacovigilance market demand

Rapid technological innovations in the field of pharmacovigilance has given rise to a constant demand for highly skilled professionals, especially in developing regions, as various clinical trials are carried out in these countries. As the recording data and reporting structure in pharmacovigilance is complicated due to multiple variables involved, the technological solutions and their implementation is also complicated. Therefore, highly skilled personnel are required to serve the purpose in most efficient and effective way.

The phase IV pharmacovigilance segment accounted for 74.1% of the market share in 2020. Phase IV clinical trials involve the pharmacovigilance and technical support of a drug after it has received market approval. Pharmacovigilance is vital, as it detects and reports any ADRs and harmful effects that may result into discontinuation of drugs or may be limited for use. Therefore, the data collected and assessed during this stage to be the highest relevance credited to intensive drug testing on large patient demographics after commercialization of the drug.
 

Large, midsize and small companies tend to outsource pharmacovigilance to third-party entity

The contract outsourcing pharmacovigilance is poised to reach USD 7.99 billion by 2027 owing to the enhanced cost-effectivity and better monitoring of drug safety. Handling of large volume of data coupled with stringent regulatory compliance further attributes to increasing preference for pharmacovigilance outsourcing. For instance, many small pharmaceutical companies outsource part of its drug safety assessment to a third-party, while 82% of medium sized and 45% of the large size companies outsource pharmacovigilance exhibiting a considerable acceptance of outsourcing in the market. In addition to this, pharmacovigilance outsourcing is expanding in countries of Asia Pacific, such as India and China, where the cost of outsourcing is remarkably lower as compared to developed nations.
