Increased outsourcing of R&D activities is one of the main drivers of growth in the contract research organization (CRO) space, according to a report on the CRO market by research firm ReportsnReports.com

The report considered Covance (NYSE: CVD), Parexel (Nasdaq: PRXL), PRA (Nasdaq: PRAH) and Quintiles (NYSE: Q) to be the major players in the market in the period within the report’s scope: 2014 to 2019.

Big companies are now more likely to outsource R&D clinical trial activities to CRO in order to reduce their spend in this area. A shortage of experienced personnel in the CRO market is a main challenge in outsourcing firms, according to the report.
