The geographical distribution of R&D activities is slowly shifting from developed nations to emerging countries. Rising R&D expenditure coupled with an increase in failure rates of R&D activities has caused biopharmaceutical companies to prefer regions such as Central and Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America & Middle East for ensuring cost saving and quick patient recruitment.

Outsourcing of preclinical trials to regions such as Asia Pacific also provides greater economic benefits to biopharmaceutical companies. Governments of countries such as Singapore and China are allocating funds to promote biomedical research in this region.

Besides, as a large number of clinical trials are being conducted in countries of Asia Pacific and Latin America regions, preclinical trials are also expected to follow the same trend. This would allow preclinical testing to be conducted in close proximity to central development centers conducting clinical trials.
