Clinical Trial Management System Market Size, Share and Analysis By Delivery Mode (On-premise and Cloud-based), By Component (Software and Services), By End-User (Pharmaceuticals, Clinical Research Organizations, and Others) and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032

Clinical trials are research projects conducted on human subjects to assess a therapeutic, surgical, or behavioral intervention. They are the primary method researchers use to determine whether a new treatment, such as a new drug or medical device, is safe and efficient. The biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors utilize the clinical trial management systems (CTMS), a tool to manage clinical trials. This system maintains and administers the planning, performing, and reporting functions along with participant contact details, tracking deadlines, and milestones.

The growing number of clinical trials, as well as government funding for research studies, are driving the development of the clinical trial management system market. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) invests approximately USD 41.7 billion in medical research for the benefit of the American people each year.

The clinical trial management system is also driven by an increase in chronic diseases and lifestyle-related disorders, and the number of clinical trials is increasing.

• Recently, according to the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP), there were approximately 12,869 clinical trials registered in 2016, which expected to reach 16,256 in 2020.


• During the period 1999-2021, the United States of America (157,618) had the most trials (80,333), followed by China (80,333), and Japan (80,333).

Based on grants, contracts, and other funding mechanisms used across the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as disease burden data published by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the table below shows the annual support level for various research, condition, and disease categories (CDC).
