The global clinical trials support software solutions market size was estimated at USD 11.12 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 28.76 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 10.9% from 2025 to 2033. Increasing research and development activities by biopharma and pharma companies are among the key trends escalating market growth.
In addition, the growing incorporation of software solutions in clinical trials is also projected to provide a fillip to the market growth. Furthermore, the increasing outsourcing and externalization of clinical trials by the majority of the prominent pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies is presumed to be responsible for driving the market at an unprecedented rate throughout the forecast period.
The stringent regulatory framework for clinical trials and a growing emphasis on safety monitoring significantly drive the adoption of clinical trial support software solutions in developed markets. For instance, agencies such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are tightening clinical trial registration requirements and actively promoting clinical data transparency and sharing. Global health authorities are increasingly implementing strategic policies to strengthen clinical trial governance and promote the use of digital technologies in research settings. For instance, in May 2025, the World Health Organization (WHO) introduced the global action plan to strengthen clinical trial ecosystems, which prioritizes the adoption of digital solutions, greater transparency in trial registration and data sharing, and integration of trials into national health systems.
The surging demand for integrated software solutions among pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies is also serving as a major growth catalyst. These solutions streamline various aspects of clinical trials, from study planning and data capture to safety reporting and regulatory compliance. In addition, increasing government grants to support research activities, along with a rapidly widening end use base that includes CROs, academic institutions, and healthcare providers, is expected to further boost the adoption of clinical trials supporting software solutions during the forecast period.
Key market players such as Cytel, Dassault Systemes (via Medidata), Veeva Systems, IQVIA, Castor, Saama, Oracle, Parexel, Clario, Curebase, and Suvoda (post-merger with Greenphire) operate in a landscape characterized by increased strategic consolidation, AI innovation, and portfolio expansion. In April 2025, Suvoda merged with Greenphire to create a unified platform that integrates randomization, supply management, eConsent, eCOA, patient-centric payments, budgeting, and logistics, streamlining operations across the patient-to-site spectrum.
Companies are rapidly advancing toward integrated, AI-powered ecosystems that centralize trial functions and enable greater automation, scalability, and compliance. Recent developments reflect a strong focus on embedding solutions directly into clinical workflows, enabling real-time data capture, protocol optimization, and decentralized trial execution.
For instance, in January 2025, Medrio launched an AI-enabled reporting solution aimed at addressing the growing complexity of clinical trial data, offering real-time insights, automated workflows, and customizable dashboards to enhance trial oversight and decision-making. AI and machine learning are being leveraged to enhance patient-trial matching, predictive analytics, and risk-based monitoring, while the integration of payment automation and remote engagement tools is improving site satisfaction and trial efficiency. These trends indicate a shift from siloed point solutions to unified platforms capable of managing the entire clinical trial lifecycle driving faster, smarter, and more inclusive research outcomes.
