The shortage of qualified staff in the clinical trials industry is a growing concern and has been identified as a major challenge facing the industry today. In a rapidly evolving and increasingly complex clinical research landscape, the demand for competent professionals has never been higher.
The Global Clinical Trial Market Is Expected To Grow
According to the Grand Market Research analysis report, the global clinical trials market size was valued at USD 47.0 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% from 2022 to 2030. The market growth was hindered in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the market is expected to grow owing to factors such as the globalisation of clinical trials, rapid technological evolution, and a rise in demand for CROs conducting research activities. This growth comes with a significant challenge: the shortage of skilled clinical research professionals to conduct trials effectively. In fact, a report by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development estimates that approximately 50% of clinical trials are delayed due to a lack of qualified staff.
This shortage has far-reaching consequences, from increased costs and longer timelines to potentially compromising the safety and quality of trials. It’s crucial for the clinical research industry to invest in training and development in order to address the current shortage and build a skilled workforce for the future.
