Africa Virtual Clinical Trials Market Executive Summary

Africa is the second-largest continent in terms of land and population, after Asia. It covers one-fifth of the planet's land area and is home to 14% of the world's inhabitants. It is rapidly growing and improving in every field, and the world's attention is steadily shifting to the continent over time.

Recognized as one of the most diversified lands, Africa homes a population that comes from different nationalities, identities, and cultures. Diversity is in the very nature of Africa and this is exactly what makes it complicated to provide quality healthcare. Furthermore, healthcare providers face difficulties such as inconsistent development, a lack of infrastructure, and overall healthcare resource education and development. A noticeable difference in healthcare facilities, as well as brain drain as experienced healthcare personnel, leave Africa in search of a higher standard of living. Revenue in the Health Care segment is projected to reach US$664.20m in 2022

Revenue is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2022-2025) of 17.04%, resulting in a projected market volume of US$1,065.00m by 2025In the Health Care segment, the number of users is expected to amount to 137.1m users by 2025.

Clinical trials are a method of doing clinical research that is guided by a detailed protocol that has been carefully created to address a specific patient care question. Clinical trials can be broken down into five phases, each of which serves a particular function. Every trial follows a protocol that specifies the kinds of people who are allowed to take part in the study. In addition to stating the duration of the study, the studies also detail the precise plan of operations, tests, drugs, and doses inside the experiment. The rising expenses of drug development in recent years have forced pharma and biotech companies to explore modernizations and more efficient ways of operating.

Virtual Clinical Trials (VCTs), also known as decentralized or remote trials, are a relatively new and underutilized method of doing clinical research that fully exploits technological advances such as electronic monitoring tools, software, and online social engagement platforms.

Decentralized trials, referred to as virtual trials, are crucial in the current COVID-19 crisis situation but have not yet become standard in how actual studies and trials are conducted. The virtual technique enables people to participate in the trial from the comfort of their own homes, guaranteeing that the trials can be carried out and sustained even if a real visit to the trial location is impractical. Additionally, it is a totally original technique for gathering efficient and secure data from clinical study participants.

Sponsors of virtual research can reach a larger population, which improves participation, recruitment, and retention. Additionally, it makes it possible for digital health technology to keep collecting data in real-time. In the end, virtual collaboration, monitoring, and management can relieve the strain on participants, CRCs, and researchers.

Market Size and Key Findings

The Global Virtual Clinical Market size is at around US $ 6.9 Bn in 2021 and is projected to reach US $ 11.6 Bn in 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.96% during the forecast period.

Market Dynamics

Market Growth Drivers and Restraints Analysis

Both the domestic and international markets have been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is required to switch some trials that are primarily designed for traditional settings to virtual trial platforms.

Cancer patients are particularly vulnerable during COVID-19. To protect participants' safety and continue the trials, sponsors and investigators are managing oncology clinical trials digitally and remotely. In order to reduce trial disruptions, regulatory agencies and biopharmaceutical companies are concentrating on developing virtual trials, digital technologies, and telemedicine. As an alternative to in-person visits, the Food & Drug Administration has advised remote monitoring and virtual visits through telemedicine. Therefore, businesses are placing a strong emphasis on bringing about change through technological developments in order to quickly satisfy enhancing healthcare digitization.
