The global CRO market was valued at an estimated USD 25 billion in 2015. The market has witnessed a strong, double-digit growth rate over the past decade. It is expected to grow at an annual rate of between 7% to 11% till 2020.

The highly regulated nature of the market and the requirements of high capital investment are important entry barriers for new entrants.
