Pharmacovigilance Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Pharmacovigilance Market Analysis

The Pharmacovigilance Market size is estimated at USD 8.45 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 13.13 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 9.23% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The evolving threat of COVID-19 infection adversely affected communities, industries, businesses, and lives worldwide. Medical monitoring and safety reporting are essential as several potential therapies are being used to treat a coronavirus-induced infection. For instance, an article published in September 2021 reported that the unprecedented speed with which vaccines are being developed has created new issues, such as post-authorization safety monitoring and vaccine safety communication. Comprehensive pharmacovigilance and active monitoring systems are required to quickly, effectively, and safely use novel vaccinations in varied populations. Thus, the rising incidence of adverse drug reactions and safety issues is anticipated to accelerate the demand for pharmacovigilance services amid the pandemic.

The key factors propelling this market's growth are increasing drug consumption and development rates, growing incidence rates of adverse drug reactions and drug toxicity, and an increasing trend of outsourcing pharmacovigilance services.

The increasing incidence of lifestyle-related diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiac disorders, as a result of sedentary lifestyles, lack of physical activity, changing lifestyle patterns, and poor diets, leads to increased consumption of drugs, which indicates the high demand for drug monitoring and is expected to fuel the growth of the market. For instance, as per the 2022 statistics published by IDF, approximately 537 million adults (20-79 years) were living with diabetes across the globe in 2021 and this number is expected to increase to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045.

Additionally, as per the 2022 statistics published by the American Cancer Society, approximately 1.9 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in the United States in 2022. Thus, the increasing burden of a diverse range of diseases among all age groups globally drives the demand for therapeutic drugs in the treatment of these disorders. With the growing drug consumption, the need for regular monitoring of drugs has also augmented, eventually boosting the pharmacovigilance market.

Furthermore, according to a study published in Frontiers in Drug Safety and Regulation, in February 2022, the significance of post-marketing medication evaluation in better characterizing drug safety profiles in real-world settings and bridging the data gap left by pre-marketing research is critical. Such studies will further imply the importance of pharmacovigilance, thereby driving market growth.

Moreover, rising collaborations between pharmaceutical companies and software providers in the market are further expected to propel market growth. For instance, in November 2021, Deloitte and Sanofi collaborated on ConvergeHEALTH Safety, a next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) software-as-a-service adverse events case intake platform that will transform pharmacovigilance (PV) and address some of the industry's most pressing operational safety issues.

However, factors such as high risk associated with data security, lack of global regulatory harmonization, and lack of data standardization for adverse event collection, may hinder the growth of the pharmacovigilance market over the forecast period.

Pharmacovigilance Industry Segmentation

Pharmacovigilance is the science and group of activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. Pharmacovigilance focuses on ADR (adverse drug reactions) and drug toxicity. The pharmacovigilance market comprises all types of adverse events reporting conducted during clinical trials in hospitals, pharmacies, and other healthcare sectors. The Pharmacovigilance Market is segmented by Clinical Trial Phase (Preclinical, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III, and Phase IV), Service Provider (In-house and Contract Outsourcing), Type of Reporting (Spontaneous Reporting, Intensified ADR Reporting, Targeted Spontaneous Reporting, Cohort Event Monitoring, and EHR Mining), End User (Hospitals, Pharmaceutical Companies, and Other End Users), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle-East and Africa, and South America). The market report also covers the estimated market sizes and trends for 17 different countries across major regions globally. The report offers the value (in USD billion) for the above segments.
