Virtual Clinical Trials Market Size is valued at USD 14.8 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 26.3 billion by the year 2031 at a 7.6% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Virtual clinical trials are those trials that are executed through telemedicine and local mobile healthcare providers, using procedures and technologies that differ from the conventional clinical trial model. Decentralized clinical trials are typically conducted remotely rather than at a site facility, with patients staying at home during most of the trial period. The users interact with websites through connected devices, phone applications, and software. In addition to offering technology-enabled face-to-face connections with investigators, these solutions feed sites and sponsors' critical trial data. Such trials have been shown to improve patients' experience with clinical trials. Technology advancement, especially in the fields of telemedicine, remote monitoring, wearable devices, and electronic data capture, has paved the way for more sophisticated virtual clinical trial methodologies.
However, the impact of COVID-19 on the virtual clinical trials market has also led to demand. The coronavirus outbreak has increased the demand for testing and virtual trials to cope with the situation around the world because the traditional method of clinical trials includes a huge risk of infection. Thus, the demand for interventional study designs has been propelling.
