Regulatory Affairs Outsourcing Market Worth $13.9 Billion By 2030

Published On: October 25, 2022

The global regulatory affairs outsourcing market is projected to be worth USD 13.9 billion by the year 2030, advancing at a steady CAGR of 8.9% from 2022 to 2030. The constant changes and amendments in regulatory policies by governments worldwide to improve the healthcare ecosystem have created a very strong demand for outsourcing services. Companies lack the required capability to conduct these procedures in an efficient manner, a fact which is made more difficult by the complexity of this operation. Regulatory affairs outsourcing includes services that are utilized by the medical device, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical companies for receiving regulatory approvals at a faster rate and in a cost-efficient manner, thus enabling them to focus on their core competencies.

In a race to accelerate their growth, companies have concentrated their attempts on expanding geographically by launching drugs and medical devices to address the unmet needs of regional populations. However, this also brings numerous policies and guidelines into effect that must be strictly adhered to by these companies, which necessitates the outsourcing of regulatory services to organizations. The healthcare industry, in the coming years, is expected to witness sustained competitive and economic pressure due to extensive measures by governments globally to contain drug costs, as well as periods of irregular economic growth. This is expected to play a major part in the advancement of the regulatory affairs outsourcing industry in the coming years.

The coronavirus pandemic impacted the market negatively, as mass closure of clinical trial sites, along with related activities, were witnessed in the first phase of the outbreak. Additionally, a shift of focus toward supply chain tracking by regulatory bodies meant that all of their other activities were paused. However, in subsequent months, as the necessity of vaccines and medical devices became apparent, and authorities such as the US FDA were compelled to provide emergency use authorization (EUA) to various testing devices and instruments, the demand for outsourcing regulatory services gradually increased. In the coming years, it is expected that accelerated innovations in the medical device space will prove advantageous for regulatory affairs outsourcing market growth.
