Life Science Analytics Market Dynamics
Driver: Rising pressure to curb healthcare spending
Globally, the cost of healthcare is on the rise due to the growing demand for healthcare services, increasing prices of medical services, development of expensive prescription drugs and medical technologies, unhealthy lifestyles, rapid growth in the geriatric population, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, and lack of transparency of information on prices and quality. Moreover, operational inefficiencies, hospital readmissions, medical errors, and adverse drug events increase healthcare costs. The need to curb growing healthcare costs is one of the key growth drivers for the global market.
Restraint: High implementation costs of advanced analytical solutions
Despite the known benefits of analytics in the life science industry, the high implementation and subscription/licensing fees for advanced analytics solutions is a major limitation owing to budgetary concerns faced by many pharmaceutical companies and other stakeholders. Only top-tier companies have the capability and funding to utilize big data to provide actionable insights effectively. According to industry experts, the cost of these solutions ranges from USD 10,000 to several million, depending on factors such as application areas, type of analytics solutions, product features, delivery model, and amount of data. High price make these solutions less reasonable for small- and medium-sized pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and CROs with restricted budgets, thereby restricting their adoption. This trend is particularly obvious in emerging economies, where it is always hard to obtain budgets for IT over medical equipment.
Opportunity: Big data analytics for R&D productivity
The life science industry is experiencing various challenges, such as patent expirations, push for generics, increasing costs, lower margins, increasing stringency of FDA regulations, and lower R&D productivity. However, the impact of many of these challenges can be offset/reduced by using advanced technologies, such as analytics. Analytics solutions can process data from multiple sources, such as millions of documents, protocols, study records, images, and applications, to provide a unified view. A potential benefit of big data analytics is to find potential patients to enroll in clinical trials based on social media profiles, genetic information, and information collected in electronic health records and not just on the evaluation of physicians. Companies can also use smart devices to gather large quantities of real-world data that were not available for R&D teams in the past.
Challenge: Shortage of skilled personnel
Globally, there are only a limited number of organizations with sufficient in-house experts to translate large volumes of data into valuable insights. According to Randstad Sourceright’s 2022 Talent Trends report, 33% of C-suite and human capital leaders in the life sciences & pharmaceuticals sector reported that talent scarcity is one of the major factors for the life science sector. According to the Economic Survey 2021, India’s domestic pharmaceutical market is expected to reach USD 65 Billion by 2024. There is still a shortage of skilled professionals in the pharmaceutical industry. The shortage of skilled professionals to handle life science analytics solutions is a major factor restraining the market growth.
The descriptive analytics segment accounted for the largest share of the life science analytics industry in 2021, by type.
On the basis of type, the life science analytics market is bifurcated into descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics. In 2021,the descriptive analytics segment accounted for the largest market share. The large share of this segment is primarily attributed due to the emergence of COVID-19 to understand the disease prognosis and treatment procedure required for the virus.
The sales and marketing segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the life science analytics industry during the forecast period.
On the basis of application, the life science analytics market is bifurcated into research & development (clinical trials and preclinical trials), sales & marketing, regulatory compliance, supply chain optimization, and pharmacovigilance. During the forecast period,the sales & marketing segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR.The high growth of this segment is attributed to the growing adoption of analytics for sales & marketing activities and increasing significance of post-marketing surveillance.
The pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies segment accounted for the largest share of the life science analytics industry in 2021, by end user.
On the basis of end user, the life science analytics market is bifurcated into pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies, medical device companies, research centers, and third-party administrators (TPAs). In 2021, the pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies segment hold the largest share of the global market.This can be attributed to the increasing use of analytics and rising growth in pharmaceutical industries worldwide.
North America to dominate the life science analytics industry in 2021
On the basis of region, the life science analytics market is bifurcated into North America, Europe, Asia, and the Rest of the World (RoW). In 2021, North America dominated the global market, followed by Europe. However, Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing adoption of advanced technologies and the growing focus of major players on expanding their presence in emerging Asia Pacific countries.
