Here’s how to ensure your multinational clinical trials meet international guidelines
With an estimated market size of USD 44.3 billion in 2020, the global clinical trials market is expected to reach USD 69.5 billion by 2028. This exceptional growth is primarily attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, the growing demand for clinical trials in developing countries, the adoption of new technology, and the COVID-19 pandemic. As we look to the future of this highly regulated market, globalization of clinical trials, continued technological advancements, and the rising demand for Clinical Research Organizations (CROs) to conduct clinical trials are expected to further fuel its growth.

To ensure you and your company are receiving the most benefits possible from this relationship, you and your translation account manager should strive to build and maintain a trusting relationship.
