MARKET DRIVERS

Rising Drug Consumption and Outsourcing Boost Pharmacovigilance Growth in Latin America

The proliferation of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular and oncology diseases, has led to the consumption of drugs across Latin America; therefore, the demand for new drug development via extensive clinical trials has increased. Also, Pharmacovigilance (PV) is an inevitable part of drug discovery and development procedures.

Pharmacovigilance services cover the whole medication development process, from discovery to commercialization. As a result, pharmaceutical firms are working with BPOs and CROs to find cost-cutting strategies and optimize operating costs. Productivity, and enhanced strategic results, all of which are aided by outsourcing. However, the increased demand for better manufacturing processes, pharmacovigilance, clinical data management, simplified R&D, and medical writing has resulted from a competitive climate for introducing novel compounds to the market. Outsourcing allows companies to enhance internal resource flexibility, optimize deadlines, and achieve better short- and long-term results. It also aids in improving pharmacovigilance by ensuring regulatory compliance, improving quality, increasing productivity, and making better strategic decisions.

Furthermore, the Latin American pharmacovigilance market is expected to be driven by the growing prevalence of adverse drug reactions and an increasing number of research and development activities. Moreover, the government is making strides in its efforts to enhance pharmacovigilance procedures management. For example, the Medication Information Association (DIA) held a pharmacovigilance risk management and drug safety conference.

In addition, the presence of non-profit organizations dedicated to raising PV awareness is likely to propel the market forward in the future years. For example, the International Society of Pharmacovigilance (ISoP), which focuses on improving the correct and safe use of pharmaceuticals at a regional level, is expected to encourage adoption.
