Market Definition

The goal of e-clinical solutions is to revolutionize the field of clinical research. The clinical management organization is trying to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and accessibility of clinical research data to treat patients more quickly. The idea behind the creation of eClinical Solutions was to pinpoint the problems with clinical research data, fix them, and offer creative solutions to make clinical trial data useful and simple to obtain, as well as to facilitate the standardization, reporting, and operation of the clinical research domain. The rising adoption and growing focus towards the e clinical solutions and software are expected to drive market growth.

The e-clinical solutions, such as electronic data capture (EDC), electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO), clinical trial management systems (CTMS), and electronic trial master file (eTMF) systems, are software programs used in clinical research to manage clinical data. However, strict regulations and standards for the approval of clinical trial studies and product approvals are expected to restrain market growth.

Europe e-Clinical Solutions Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:

DRIVERS

Increasing R&D activities and corresponding expenditure

Research & development is crucial in all industries, including life science and healthcare. The life science industry carries out extensive research and development to generate revenue and often brings results that embrace saving or enhancing a patient's life. Drug development requires going through clinical trials to check clinical data analysis and review its study and new data insights.

The e-clinical solutions are used for comprehensive data review, automating the data transformation process, and analytics to accelerate timelines. Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies conduct many clinical trials to complete successful drug or biologic development. Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies have increased their focus on research and development, raising the demand for e-clinical solutions.

Improved healthcare infrastructure and establishment of advanced laboratories

Infrastructure is a key pillar supporting the fundamental aim of promoting improved standards of care and well-being for all patients, together with a good healthcare system experience. In parallel, the healthcare system and staff must support effective health promotion, prevention, and self-care of the whole population.

Infrastructure must integrate the hospital, as the acute and in-patient care center, into the broader healthcare system. It should facilitate the seven domains of quality patient experience, effectiveness, efficiency, timeliness, safety, equity, and sustainability. Infrastructure includes the built environment and supporting elements such as equipment, access, information technology (IT), systems and processes, sustainability initiatives, and staff. This improved healthcare infrastructure and staff more opportunities for e-clinical solutions to grow and give better results.

OPPORTUNITY

 Increasing investments by various governments in clinical trials

Clinical trial funding comes from various sources, including the government, commercial investors, nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, and other research organizations. Historically, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has made the biggest government investments in fundamental drug development research. The defense advanced research agency (DARPA) has also contributed to the discovery stage by accepting a few relatively high-risk biologic initiatives. State governments are also increasingly taking the lead in this area, partly due to the public's frustration with the lengthy discovery process. Thus, government initiatives and investments toward discovering new drugs with trial studies are expected to create an opportunity for market growth.

RESTRAINT / CHALLENGE

Data Safety and Privacy issues

Information systems are heavily concerned with privacy and security. Access to individual health information is made possible by digitalizing healthcare services from any electronic device with an internet connection anywhere globally. Users typically are unaware of how their data is handled. Healthcare data on the cloud has caught the attention of hackers, who target systems to launch attacks and steal sensitive data in exchange for financial benefit.

Data breaches have been common since 2019, over 50 million electronic medical records have been hacked in 2021, and the number of security breaches was predicted to increase every year. The creation of inter-jurisdictional data-sharing agreements and the storage and manipulation of data holdings are significantly hampered by concerns about personal privacy and information confidentiality and the recent enactment of privacy and confidentiality legislation across the provinces and territories (exceptionally patient records). Thus, it is a restraint for the Europe e-clinical solutions market and is expected to hamper the market growth.

Post-COVID-19 Impact on the Europe e-Clinical Solutions Market

COVID-19 created a positive impact on the Europe e-clinical solutions market. The lockdown restriction led to the emergence of various opportunities such as drug development, EMR and EHR application installation, and many others.

However, increasing government support and advanced and innovative techniques are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for market growth. Moreover, increasing partnerships, acquisitions, and collaboration among market players are expected to further fuel market growth. Also, the growth has been high since the market opened after COVID-19, and it is expected that there would be considerable growth in the sector. The market players are conducting multiple activities to improve the trial study techniques. With this, the companies will bring advancement and innovation to the market.

Recent Developments

• In April 2023, the Medidata subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes announced Lambda Therapeutics is deploying Medidata's cloud-based clinical products, Rave EDC, Rave RTSM, and Rave Imaging, according to a statement from Dassault Systèmes subsidiary Medidata. Automating and optimizing data management operations and securely delivering higher-quality data for quicker insights will further improve clinical trial productivity. This has aided the business in promoting its offerings across the globe
• In March 2023, Clario has launched a cloud-based Image Viewer tool that helps the Sponsors and CROs to see the images of their clinical trials. Previously, several organizations had to participate in the image transfer procedure to see photos for a clinical trial. This complicated the already risky process and increased the possibility of delays and mistakes. This has aided the business in growing its service offering
