Visiongain has launched a new pharma report Global Drug Discovery Outsourcing Market Report : Chemistry Services, Biology Services, Lead Optimisation, Lead Identification and Screening.

While the main factor driving drug discovery outsourcing is the cost-saving benefits, today’s companies are also looking at benefits and opportunities beyond cost savings. Companies are now outsourcing to gain strategic benefits, such as access to innovative technology, faster response time to support and benchmark internal programs, and ongoing process improvements, overall making them more competitive and increasing globalization within the pharmaceutical industry.

The lead analyst of the report commented "A major restraint in the global drug discovery outsourcing market comes from the fact that it is quickly becoming saturated, with many contract research organisations offering poorly differentiated services. Therefore, pharmaceutical companies have a high bargaining power as they have many CROs to choose from and they are likely to make their decisions on the basis of successful previous alliances. Entry into this market is particularly challenging at present.

One of the current trends in the drug discovery market is the increasing diversification of services offered by CROs. In a poorly differentiated market, CROs have needed to differentiate their services from competitors to entice potential clients."

Leading companies featured in the report include Albany Molecular Research (AMRI), Aptuit, LLC, Charles River Laboratories, Inc., Covance, Inc., Cyprotex plc, Domainex, Evotec AG, GenScript, IQVIA (QuintilesIMS) and other companies.
