Factors Affecting the Growth of the Pharmacovigilance Industry:
Rising Demand for Drug Safety:
The demand for a global pharmacovigilance program is rampant as there is a mounting emphasis on safety in drug administration and the monitoring of adverse events. Increasing production on pharmaceutical production facilities creates and introduces complex therapies, for which regulatory bodies impose more stringent safety protocols. Companies are also heavily investing in state-of-the-art systems for pharmacovigilance, in an effort to comply with regulations and minimize risks of medication use. In such a trend, the growing awareness of health care providers and patients toward the necessity of post-marketing surveillance drives demands for improved pharmacovigilance solutions.
Technological Advancements in Monitoring:
Data collection and analysis in pharmaceutical vigilance have gained great impetus due to technological advancements. Introduction of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools into pharmacovigilance systems allows automating the reporting of adverse events while rapidly detecting safety signals. Cloud systems also seem favorable; they present scalable and cost-effective solutions for real-time data sharing and collaboration. Adding to speeding up operations, these advances are also improving the general quality of drug safety monitoring, thereby becoming the key engine of growth in this market.
Outsourcing of Pharmacovigilance Services:
Pharmaceutical companies are progressively moving towards outsourcing their pharmacovigilance activities from specialized service providers for cost-effectiveness and core competency focus. This has primarily applied to small and middle enterprises that have neither the financial muscle nor expertise to keep in-house pharmacovigilance teams. In addition, outsourcing companies provide end-to-end services in case processing, risk management, regulatory compliances, and so on, fully ensuring global standards. Given the increasing complexities in pharmacovigilance requirements, companies are adopting outsourcing as their strategic choice towards streamlining their operations.
