The Patient Recruitment and Retention Services Market Size is valued at 3.70 Billion in 2022 and is predicted to reach 5.70 Billion by the year 2031 at a 5.0 % CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
Patient recruitment and retention is an essential service for the clinical research industry, and certain developments are expected to play a significant role in the future. Patient recruitment is one of the rate-limiting stages in bringing medications to market. In addition, given the typical clinical research dropout rate, keeping patients on board is challenging. Utilizing contract service providers has been shown to hasten the patient recruiting process. In order to effectively conduct clinical research, these service providers employ a variety of outreach strategies, such as social media, mobile technologies, electronic health records (EHRs), and real-world evidence (RWE).
Retention service providers make use of different strategies such as in-house call center to address patient concerns, educational materials to keep sites engaged and study branding to encourage compliance and patient responses, creation of online and in-person support groups, electronic data capture systems, video conferencing platforms, and telemedicine tools to reduce the need for in-person visits and improve participant convenience among others
Over time, they have become increasingly significant in this process. Clinical research is conducted to learn more about the effectiveness and safety of creating new medications and medical equipment. As more people are needed for clinical trials because of regulatory and safety concerns, which are pushing trends toward longer and larger studies, the demand for patient recruiting services is increasing. The global industry has grown significantly as a result of the increasing number of clinical studies and the expanding pharmaceutical and medical industries.
With the increased complexity of clinical trials and the need for specialized patient populations for studies evaluating orphan medications and tailored therapies, several big pharma companies have outsourced their patient recruiting operations, leading to increased clinical trial costs. Delays in product release brought on by sponsors' inability to draw in and keep patients are relatively common and are considered to result in an average loss. The short suspension due to Covid-19 has significantly impacted clinical studies, especially in the area of patient recruiting.
