The manufacture of drugs and pharmaceutical products passes through various processing steps, each of which requires monitoring to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the manufactured product. Traditional paper-based quality management systems are associated with various drawbacks that can be overcome by software-based quality management systems.
While the pharmaceutical quality management software market is still in its niche stage, the market is anticipated to grow rapidly owing to increasing technology adoption in the pharmaceutical industry, increasing cost of drug manufacturing, and evolving regulations. Currently, a few large pharmaceutical companies have adopted electronic quality management systems in order to automate their processes. With increasing technology adoption in the pharmaceutical industry, going forward, smaller companies are expected to implement software-based systems from the beginning itself.
The COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the digital transformation of the pharmaceutical industry. This positive impact is attributed to factors such as travel restrictions and the emerging concept of working and communicating remotely.
Pharmaceutical Quality Management Software Market report highlights that the market was valued at $472.6 million in 2020 and is expected to reach $3,717.7 million by the end of 2030. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.91% during the forecast period from 2021 to 2030.
