The life sciences industry is plagued by issues such as high time-to-market for drugs and high costs of drug development. Enterprises have prioritized digital technologies in their corporate strategies to optimize processes, reduce costs, and positively impact the bottom line. Digital adoption is already influencing all aspects of the life sciences value chain, right from accelerating the drug discovery process to improving sales & marketing of drugs. In fact, with the proliferation of wearables and IoT-based devices, these technologies are also influencing how patients respond to clinical trials and drug consumption.

To help enterprises in their transformation journeys, service providers have ramped up their digital technology skills and made a slew of investments in the domain. AI solutions have experienced significant uptake to improve the drug discovery process, automate pharmacovigilance case processing, and improve patient recruitment in clinical trials. Service providers are also entering into partnerships and acquisitions to provide enterprises with domain-focused solutions. This is driving the need for research and market intelligence on demand and supply trends in life sciences digital services.
