India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

midwifery care.
• A Cochrane Review on “Midwife-led continuity models vs other models of care for
childbearing women” (2016) provides evidence that midwife-led continuity of care can
result in a 24% reduction in pre-term birth, a significant reduction in episiotomy,
instrumental birth or use of pain relief while increasing psychological support for women
WHY DOES INDIA NEED MIDWIFERY?
8. • A post basic course, known as the Nurse Practitioner in Midwifery (NPM) course,
was instituted by the Indian Nursing Council (INC).

Building Project’, a curriculum for the NPM was prepared, with the aim to provide
nurses with advance knowledge, skills and attitudes which -allow them to become
safe and competent NPMs.
• Duration of the course was 18 months (including 6 months internship)
HISTORY OF MIDWIFERY IN INDIA
9. • This initiative was pilot tested in the State of West Bengal. Two batches of training
were conducted and 12 candidates who passed out of this course were posted as
NPMs and were offered a remuneration equivalent to that of Assistant Nursing
Superintendent.

29. ABSTRACT
India has made significant progress in improving maternal and child health. However, there are persistent disparities in
maternal and child morbidity and mortality in many communities. Mistreatment of women in childbirth and gender-
based violence are common and reduce women’s sense of safety. Recently, the Government of India committed to
establishing a specialized midwifery cadre: Nurse Practitioners in Midwifery (NPMs). Integration of NPMs into the
current health system has the potential to increase respectful maternity care, reduce unnecessary interventions, and
improve resource allocation, ultimately improving maternal–newborn outcomes. To synthesize the evidence on
effective midwifery integration, we conducted a desk review of peer-reviewed articles, reports and regulatory
documents describing models of practice, organization of health services and lessons learned from other countries. We
also interviewed key informants in India who described the current state of the healthcare system, opportunities, and
anticipated challenges to establishing a new cadre of midwives. Using an intersectional feminist theoretical
framework, we triangulated the findings from the desk review with interview data to identify levers for change and
recommendations. Findings from the desk review highlight those benefits of midwifery on outcomes and experience
link to models of midwifery care, and limited scope of practice and prohibitive practice settings are threats to
successful integration. Interviews with key informants affirm the importance of meeting global standards for practice,
education, inter-professional collaboration and midwifery leadership. Key informants noted that the expansion of
respectful maternity care and improved outcomes will depend on the scope and model of practice for the cadre.
Domains needing attention include building professional identity; creating a robust, sustainable education system;
addressing existing inter-professional issues and strengthening referral and quality monitoring systems. Public and
professional education on midwifery roles and scope of practice, improved regulatory conditions and enabling practice
environments will be key to successful integration of midwives in India.

KEYWORDS: Health services, integration, national health service, policy
implementation, pregnancy, nurse practitioners, mothers, maternity
services, community health
KEY MESSAGES:
There are a number of opportunities and threats to integration of
midwives in India, including regulatory and educational structures; role,
scope and models of practice; inter-professional and public acceptance
and enabling practice environments.
Gender issues and marginalization impact the delivery and organization
of health care in India—for both maternity service users and health
professionals—and could destabilize the new midwifery cadre.
31. CONT..
● Expansion of training in human rights, respectful maternity care and inter-
professional communication for midwives, educators and other health
professionals who work alongside midwives will be essential to effective
integration.
● A set of recommendations are presented to ensure that the well-being and
sustainability of a new midwifery workforce are secured, along with
considerations for equity in roles, compensation and leadership.
