Pharmacovigilance Market

Global Pharmacovigilance Market:

The global pharmacovigilance market size reached USD 8.5 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 16.3 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% during 2025-2033. The increasing prevalence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), coupled with the launch of favorable policies by government bodies to generate awareness about the proper usage of medicines and conduct clinical trials, is primarily stimulating the market growth.

Global Pharmacovigilance Market Analysis:

• Major Market Drivers: The elevating incidences of various lifestyle diseases, including cardiac disorders, hypertension, diabetes, etc., are augmenting the usage of drugs across the globe. Consequently, there is an elevating need for pharmacovigilance (PV) to detect previously unknown adverse effects, recognize changes in the frequency or severity, assess the risks and benefits of drugs to determine required actions, etc. This, in turn, is providing significant opportunities in the pharmacovigilance market outlook.
• Key Market Trends: One of the key pharmacovigilance market trends includes the development of advanced platforms to ensure automated adverse drug reactions (ADR) reporting. Furthermore, key players are also focusing on enhancing manufacturing operations and streamlining R&D activities, owing to the competitive environment. Besides this, the rising number of clinical trials is expected to fuel the pharmacovigilance market in the forecasted period.
• Competitive Landscape: Some of the prominent pharmacovigilance market key players are Accenture plc, ArisGlobal LLC, BioClinica Inc. (Cinven Partners LLP), Capgemini, Cognizant, International Business Machines Corporation, ICON plc., IQVIA Inc., ITClinical, Parexel International Corporation, and Wipro Limited, among many others.
• Challenges and Opportunities: According to the pharmacovigilance market analysis, some of the challenges, including stringent regulatory requirements by government bodies, the rising complexities in managing and deriving meaningful insights from a vast amount of data, and the increasing need for balancing comprehensive drug safety monitoring with the pressure to control costs, are hindering the growth of the pharmacovigilance industry across the globe. However, fostering strategic collaborations to ensure the safety of drugs and safeguard public health is expected to propel the pharmacovigilance market share in the coming years.

Global Pharmacovigilance Market Trends:

The Development of Continuous Technological Advancements

The increasing integration of novel technologies, such as machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, etc., is enhancing the pharmacovigilance processes. In line with this, these technologies are gaining extensive traction, as they help in identifying adverse events, risk assessments, enabling efficient signal detection, etc., which is expected to fuel the market growth over the forecasted period. For instance, Sanofi and Deloitte collaborated on ConvergeHEALTH Safety, a next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) software-as-a-service adverse events case intake platform that transformed pharmacovigilance (PV) processes and addressed some of the industry's most pressing operational safety issues. In line with this, ArisGlobal introduced the go-live of the USFDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS II), an electronic safety reporting platform powered by LifeSphere MultiVigilance, which propelled the market growth. Furthermore, Saama Technologies Inc. developed the new Active Safety Analytics for Pharma (ASAP) products. ASAP is one of the first validated pharmacovigilance solutions to leverage the TreeScan methodology and the United States Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Sentinel Common Data Model for detecting safety signals.

Stringent Regulations Implemented by Government Bodies

Government authorities across the globe are implementing strict rules in clinical trials and generating awareness regarding the proper utilization of medicines, which is stimulating the usage of pharmacovigilance services. For example, according to a study published in Frontiers in Drug Safety and Regulation, the significance of post-marketing medication evaluation is important for characterizing drug safety profiles in real-world settings. Such studies are further increasing the importance of pharmacovigilance, thereby stimulating the market growth. Moreover, Aurobindo Pharma USA reformulated Quinapril and Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets USP 20mg/12.5mg, owing to the presence of N-Nitroso-Quinapril and Nitrosamine Drug Substance Related Impurity (NDSRI). Consequently, the inflating need for medical information among regulatory authorities is expected to fuel the market growth over the forecasted period.

The Rising Adoption of Pharmacovigilance Services by Pharmaceutical Companies

Pharmacovigilance services are extensively adopted by key pharmaceutical companies across the globe, owing to benefits, such as better outcomes over shorter periods and increasing internal resource flexibility. For example, according to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, 10 cases of anaphylaxis were detected after the administration of a reported 4,041,396 first doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine (2.5 cases per million doses). Consequently, the growing need for pharmacovigilance services is also stimulating the market growth. In addition to this, key industry players are also entering into strategic collaborations, which will continue to propel the pharmacovigilance market over the forecasted period. For example, IQVIA entered into a strategic collaboration with NRx Pharmaceuticals to offer medical information and pharmacovigilance services in preparation for potential regulatory actions.

The Growing Number of Advanced Clinical Trial Phases

To enhance the efficacy of clinical trials, major prominent players are developing advanced clinical trials, which are stimulating the global market for pharmacovigilance. For example, Cognizant entered into a partnership with Medable Inc. to jointly deliver clinical research solutions based on Medable's software-as-a-service platform for decentralized clinical trials. In line with this, according to the pharmacovigilance market overview, Viedoc and LINK Medical entered into a partnership established by Viedoc. The collaboration was designed to enhance trial efficiency for LINK Medical and its clients. The partnership allowed for the exchange of needs, experience, ideas, etc., and the testing of new features.
