Global Post-Marketing Pharmacovigilance And Medical Information Market is expected to reach USD 5.3 Billion by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing prevalence of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) coupled with incorporation of advanced ADR reporting tools is responsible for the overall growth of the post-marketing pharmacovigilance and medical information market. Increased drug consumption can be attributed to rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as tuberculosis that involve multiple drug regimes.
Rising government initiatives for improvement of pharmacovigilance services and maintenance of medical databases are also responsible for inducing overall growth of post-marketing pharmacovigilance and medical information market. For instance, in December 2015, the USAID Systems for Improved Access to Pharmaceuticals and Services (SIAPS) launched PViMS tool to improve drug safety monitoring in low- and middle-income countries by helping clinicians, researchers, and regulatory authorities to collect, analyze, and monitor ADRs.
