The growing demand of end-users for seamless connections between disparate data in an easy-to-use front end is a key driver contributing to the growth of the market for pharmacovigilance drug safety software. Customers are demonstrating an increasing preference for the analytical processing of drug safety data in an agile and flexible format. PV and drug safety software companies are thus offering machine learning, AI, data science, and other additions as part of their pharmacovigilance offering. Rapid drug development propelled by the COVID-19 pandemic has led to newer drugs being introduced at a rapid pace in the market at a faster rate. With the increase in the rate of drug consumption, the role of pharmacovigilance has emerged as critical in managing large quantities of data to assess the risks and benefits of a particular drug.

Increasing incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADR) and stringent regulations for drug development and approvals is expected to propel the demand for pharmacovigilance (PV) and drug safety software in the coming years. The presence of numerous market players has led to more and more PV and drug safety software solutions available in the market catering to varied customer requirements. Increasing globalization in pharmacovigilance with the widespread availability of the Internet is expected to boost usage rates. In addition, a growing health information functionality market will strengthen the usage of PV software over the forecast period, as it improves patient health and reduces medical expenditures.

Moreover, increasing pressure to follow safety guidelines set by government authorities such as the European Medicines Agency and the U.S. FDA is contributing to the growing adoption of pharmacovigilance systems. Many pharmaceutical companies are moving toward outsourcing pharmacovigilance activities to curb operational costs. Manufacturers are gradually shifting from being fully integrated pharmaceutical companies to sharing costs by collaborating with service providers. Services outsourced range from medical writing and clinical trial data collection to medical reporting and other PV services. Outsourcing helps increase internal resource flexibility, improves timelines, and results in better outcomes.

Functionality Insights

The signal management segment dominated the market for pharmacovigilance drug safety software and accounted for the largest revenue share of 35.0% in 2022. The case processing segment is estimated to grow the fastest in the coming years. This is due to the increasing need to avert errors in database management. These solutions are used to track individual case safety reports and avoid data redundancy through the elimination of errors. Key companies offer integrated end-to-end solutions to enhance their offerings and increase market share.

The case processing segment held a significant share in the market for pharmacovigilance drug safety software in 2022 owing to ADR reporting tools such as data entry and case management being increasingly used to comply with regulatory standards. Pharmacovigilance software has transformed the traditional way of ADR reporting and management. The introduction of advanced data integration solutions and the cost-effective nature of this PV system is anticipated to spur demand.

Delivery Mode Insights

On Demand software segment dominated the market and accounted for a largest revenue share in 2022 and segment held a significant share in the market for pharmacovigilance drug safety software in 2022. The introduction of cloud computing and its rapid adoption by healthcare IT providers is expected to propel the demand for the on-demand segment over the forecast period. On-demand solutions such as cloud-based S-a-a-S solutions are expected to gain popularity in the coming years. Increasing adoption of these platforms by pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations is driving the segment. Remote access to data, real-time data tracking, and scalability are notable benefits associated with cloud-based systems.

End-use Insights

The pharma and biotech companies segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 35.0% in 2022. PV and drug safety software solutions are widely accepted by pharma and biotech companies to facilitate clinical trial programs and reduce the burden on medical expenditure. The segment thus dominated the market for pharmacovigilance drug safety software in 2021. Pharmacovigilance outsourcing is a growing trend in the pharmaceutical industry and as a result, manufacturers are striving to identify various ways to contain costs and minimize operational expenses by gradually shifting from being fully-integrated pharmaceutical companies to sharing costs through collaborations with service providers. This is expected to strengthen the growth of contract research firms that perform these activities for pharmaceutical companies.

The CROs segment is expected to exhibit profitable growth during the forecast period. PV service providers, in an attempt to ensure sustainability, are providing customized end-to-end solutions to meet consumer needs. These firms are also incorporating integrated technologies, such as electronic data capture and hosting of PV warehousing to aggregate cross-industry data, which enables risk evaluation.

Regional Insights

North America led the market for pharmacovigilance drug safety software and accounted for the largest revenue share of 30.0% in 2022. The segment is anticipated to continue this trend over the foreseeable future. Owing to government-aided initiatives favoring the adoption of PV and drug safety software systems, the regional market for pharmacovigilance drug safety software is expected to show significant growth through 2030. For instance, the Open FDA initiative provides scientists and application developers access to its massive database through open search-based programs, which is anticipated to boost usage rates over the forecast period. Mini-Sentinel is a project started by the U.S. FDA to promote active surveillance systems, which provide statistically relevant data in lesser time. Initiatives such as these strengthen the growth of the regional market.

Pharmacovigilance And Drug Safety Software Market Trends by Region, 2023-2030

Asia Pacific is likely to experience the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Companies in the Asia Pacific provide substantial cost-saving advantages, with savings ranging from 50% to 80% of the cost as compared to developed nations. This leads to a rising volume of clinical trials being conducted in this region. The rise in demand for and occurrence of clinical trials has led to an increasing focus on pharmacovigilance and drug safety software. Along with India and China, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan have been recognized as outsourcing hubs in Asia. The increasing number of adverse drug reactions, rising awareness about public safety, and stringent government regulations are some factors expected to drive market growth.
