Contract Research Annual Review

2011

The Complete Picture of the Contract Research Market

The contract research market grew to $28 billion last year, increasing by 15%. But that top line figure conceals a rapidly changing market and a sharp fall in profitability. Many major CROs have seen profit fall by more than 50%. The industry is rapidly re-shaping itself to match the changing needs of a pharmaceutical industry that is realigning its R&D strategies to improve effectiveness and to face a new set of demands from the market. 22 strategic alliances with CROs were announced by major pharma companies in 2010/11 as the industry was finally forced to embrace the idea of strategic outsourcing. This review provides a complete picture of the CRO market, looks at trends and developments, explains why they have happened and how they will affect the future of the industry.

Completely revised and re-formatted for 2011 the Contract Research Annual Review 2011 also contains thought provoking pieces from senior managers at leading CROs.
