Growth Outlook
Strong โ India's clinical trial ecosystem is expanding as CDSCO processing timelines improve and India earns preferred-site status with global sponsors post-COVID. The New Drugs and Clinical Trials Rules 2019 and subsequent CDSCO clarifications have simplified trial approval timelines, driving volume growth at established sites. Demand for trained CRCs at both the site level (AIIMS, Apollo, Manipal) and CRO level (IQVIA Bengaluru, ICON Hyderabad, Parexel Delhi) will remain above supply for the foreseeable decade, particularly for coordinators with EDC platform fluency and CCRP / ACRP certification.
