Medical Device Contract Research Organization Market To Reach $14.0 Billion By 2030

Medical Device Contract Research Organization Market Growth & Trends

The global medical device contract research organization market size is expected to reach USD 14.0 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.95% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The key market growth drivers include rising demand for time-saving, cost efficient, and expertise in the area, which accelerates the process of devices reaching the market. In addition, outsourcing to a CRO with detailed expertise in a medical device helps in meeting the complex regulatory requirements and audits as they work on it on a daily basis. This further supports the demand for medical device CRO services.

CROs also have access to the most advanced technological resources, such as all the latest and most advanced hardware, software, and internet-based applications, to make the process fast and maintain quality. A significant number of CROs such as Iqvia, Inc., ICON Plc, Charles River, and others offering high-quality medical device-related research services are expected to improve medical device-related research collaborations in the coming years and thus boost the market growth.

Medical procedures are moving toward more laparoscopic and catheter-based technology. There has been a growing demand for minimally invasive procedures worldwide, as they are less risky compared to other surgical procedures. This is expected to boost the demand for advanced devices for screening and monitoring surgical procedures. Minimally invasive procedures are also enhancing the demand for new miniature technology. This is expected to improve the number of research in advanced less invasive medical devices and hence promote market growth.

Thus, growing complexities in medical devices, changing consumer preferences, and increasing demand for portable devices are among the factors expected to drive the need for an expert team for the development of medical devices, thereby increasing the demand for CROs in the market.
