Increasing Regulatory Pressure on Healthcare Companies Healthcare Regulatory Affairs Outsourcing Market Growth

Continuous upgrades and progress in traditional drug development approaches are creating significant challenges in the healthcare sector. There is tremendous pressure on the pharmaceutical companies and medical fraternity to reduce the cost of prescription drugs, while their operational costs are skyrocketing. The complexity of regulatory requirements, declining revenues due to blockbuster drugs going off patent, and pressure from governments as well as health insurers for reduction in healthcare cost has presented additional challenges to healthcare industries. Given these difficulties, pharmaceutical companies have realized the need to leverage their resources along with the expertise provided by specialist external sources.
