Annual review of pharmaceutical contract research market now available from URCH Publishing

PRLog (Press Release) - Jul. 12, 2010 - The 240 page publication, Contract Research Annual Review 2010 provides a complete picture of the market, looks at trends and developments and explains why they have happened and how they will affect the future of the market.

The review, which costs £375, finds that the pharmaceutical contract research market contracted sharply in 2008/09 but this year has seen excellent growth of 13% to $23.5 billion. However, profitability has fallen and mergers and acquisitions continue as the outsourcing industry reacts to changes in the pharmaceutical industry, especially its approach to R&D effectiveness.

This year’s Review has 32 graphs and 19 tables and includes information on:
•   Market Size and Growth
•   Details of Mergers, Acquisitions and Joint Ventures
•   Clinical CROs
•   Market Trends
•   CROs in Developing Regions
•   The Contract Research Value Proposition
•   A news section covering 60 leading CROs
