The clinical trial imaging services market accounted for $1,310 million in 2019, and is expected to reach $1,807.65 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 5.6% from 2020 to 2027.
Medical imaging is defined as creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention. It has become a major part of clinical trials and serves as a primary study endpoint. In addition, clinical trial imaging services are defined as a set of services which are offered by specialized imaging contract research organizations (CROs). For instance, these CROs offer services which are used in management of imaging in clinical trials. Some of the services offered by these CROs include image read and analysis, clinical trial design and consulting and other services.
Furthermore, other such services include data management services, project management, and others. Moreover, through these services the CROs offer to manage several activities for sponsors. For instance, through reading and analytical services, the CROs manage the acquisition and transfer of images, de-identification, image quality check-up performance of image reading and others.
In addition, the CROs offer these services to sponsors or companies such as pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, medical device companies, and academic & government research institutes. Furthermore, these services are offered for different type of therapeutic expertise such as oncology, neurology, endocrinology and others.
The major factors that contribute toward the growth of the clinical trial imaging services market include rise in the need to outsource imaging clinical trials across the globe. Furthermore, factors such as, rise in clinical trials due to surge in prevalence of chronic conditions, which require novel treatment option and rise in adoption of imaging in clinical trials leading to more outsourcing of these imaging related services also boost the growth of the clinical trial imaging services market.
In addition, advancements in the field of medical imaging technology is another major factor that fuels the growth of the market. However, challenges related to integration of imaging in clinical trials restricts the growth of the clinical trial imaging services market. Conversely, increase in awareness toward the use of imaging in clinical trials and presence of imaging modality in development offers a lucrative opportunity for the clinical trial imaging services market growth.
