The Global Electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment Solution Market (eCOA) size is expected to reach $2.4 billion by 2026, rising at a market growth of 19% CAGR during the forecast period. Electronic clinical outcome assessment (eCOA) refers to a system that is capable of measuring mental state, patient symptom, and the prognosis of a disease. Some major components of eCOA platforms are electronic diaries and electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (ePRO). These components act as support systems for ePRO. In every type of application of clinical outcome assessment systems, the compliance rates are very high, which facilitates the research procedures.
Over the years, electronic clinical outcome assessment has proved to be very effective and cost-efficient. There is a rapid increment of investment from the pharmaceutical industry on clinical trials, while the demand & development of clinical data management is constantly growing. The market growth is expected to be affected positively by the development of cloud computing in the pharmaceutical industry. On the other hand, the eCOA is associated with a high initial cost of installation, which is a pressing concern for sponsors of clinical trials, & mid-scale pharmaceutical manufacturers. This factor is likely to slow down the growth rate of the global electronic clinical outcome assessment solution market in the next few years.
The adoption & demand for eCOA solutions would be fuelled due to the complexity of healthcare information management. Using these systems, healthcare facilities can expect accurate & timely delivery of health information & decrease the pressure of patients who are undergoing clinical trials. The demand for R&D to create innovative treatments & drugs is increasing with the massive growth of the healthcare industry. The increasing number of research studies is creating a need for a unified data capture system. Therefore, all the mentioned aspects would drive the product demand during the forecast period.
Delivery Mode Outlook
Based on Delivery Mode, the market is segmented into Web-hosted eCOA, Cloud-based eCOA, and Licensed enterprises eCOA. The web-hosted eCOA solutions segment garnered the maximum revenue share in 2019. This high revenue share is credited to the numerous advantages & applications of the segment. Web-based services provide some major benefits including remote access to the health information of the patient & information sharing in order to restrict the potential risk of data misuse or resolve the issues at a critical point of the study.
End Use Outlook
Based on End Use, the market is segmented into Contract Research Organizations (CROs), Hospitals, Academic Institutes, Pharma & Biotech Companies and Medical Device Manufacturers. Contract Research Organizations (CROs) procured the major revenue share in 2019. Moreover, this segment is anticipated to observe a high growth rate in the next few years due to the increasing demand from the pharma giants. The CROs segment is expected to show bright growth as this often puts high pressure on pharma companies to bring down the overall cost of clinical development studies.
