Key Drivers, Challenges, and Opportunities
Driver - Patient-Centric Protocol Execution with Digital Tools

The shift toward decentralized and hybrid trials is driving demand for integrated solutions blending eConsent, remote monitoring, wearables, and curated site networks.

Thermo Fisher Scientific's CorEvitas registries and home health integrations exemplify this trend, enabling adaptive designs and improving retention.

Restraint - Data Integrity and Interoperability Barriers

The rise of multimodal studies with imaging, biomarkers, and eCOA data introduces integration challenges. Workflow interoperability between platforms remains limited, creating backlogs and quality-control issues.

Despite AI-enabled quality checks, providers face ongoing burdens reconciling heterogeneous datasets across global sites.

Opportunity - Real-World Evidence and AI-Pathology Expansion

Growing use of real-world evidence (RWE) and AI-driven computational pathology creates new service lines. Labcorp's partnership with PathAI in 2025 enables algorithm-derived oncology endpoints, while Thermo Fisher's therapeutic registries provide longitudinal data for external control arms.

Together, these advances open premium analytics-infused service opportunities for CROs.

Key Trend - Sustainability and Site-Centric Execution
Sustainability is emerging as a defining trend in trial services, with providers embedding green logistics, optimized site visits, and digital monitoring into operations.

In June 2025, Thermo Fisher and the Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) launched a sustainability advocacy group, standardizing eco-efficient practices that also enhance retention and predictability.

Medpace's Cincinnati campus redevelopment, including a new pharmacology unit, highlights the growing emphasis on concentrated, high-throughput infrastructure designed for both efficiency and sustainability.

This "responsibility-by-design" model is rapidly becoming a competitive differentiator in global trial execution.
