The global CRO Services Market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.0% during the forecast period. Growth in the CRO services market can mainly be attributed to factors such as the increasing investment in pharmaceutical R&D, rising number of clinical trials, high cost of in-house drug development (encouraging pharma-biotech companies to opt for outsourcing), and the rising prevalence of orphan and rare diseases (creating new revenue pockets for CROs).
