Annual review of pharmaceutical contract research market now available from URCH Publishing

Today, URCH Publishing announces the availability of a new report which provides a comprehensive review of the global pharmaceutical contract research market.

The 240 page publication, Contract Research Annual Review 2010 provides a complete picture of the market, looks at trends and developments and explains why they have happened and how they will affect the future of the market.

The review, which costs £375, finds that the pharmaceutical contract research market contracted sharply in 2008/09 but this year has seen excellent growth of 13% to $23.5 billion. However, profitability has fallen and mergers and acquisitions continue as the outsourcing industry reacts to changes in the pharmaceutical industry, especially its approach to R&D effectiveness.

This year’s Review has 32 graphs and 19 tables and includes information on:

  • Market Size and Growth 
  • Details of Mergers, Acquisitions and Joint Ventures 
  • Clinical CROs
  • Market Trends  
  • CROs in Developing Regions 
  • The Contract Research Value Proposition
  • A news section covering 60 leading CROs
