South Africa is one of the lucrative countries for conducting clinical trials by multinational biopharmaceutical companies. Presence of well-established research industry, which complies with International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) and FDA standards and diverse population as well as low cost of trials are expected to be some of the primary drivers of the market.
There were more than 2,200 clinical trials registered in South Africa as of 2017, majorly for HIV and tuberculosis. The high number of clinical trials can be attributed to the presence of highest number of doctors in public sector and improved infrastructure.
Clinical trial supplies players require an import license and an invoice approved by Medicine Control Council and this process may take up to 6 weeks. Companies such as Fisher Clinical Services and PAREXEL International Corporation have ventured into South Africa to cater to the increasing number of trials being conducted in the region.
