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.

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
2. What’s the problem we need to solve?
• 12.6m adults (23%) in UK lack basic digital skills & 5.3m
(11%) have never used the internet
• Those who lack digital skills or access are likely to be
older, have disabilities, lower income & education
• There is a strong correlation between digital exclusion,
wider social disadvantage & health inequalities
• Health & care services, information, & opportunities for
participation are increasingly delivered digitally
• We need to take positive steps to ensure that those who
most need health & care services are not left behind in
the digital revolution
3. What’s the problem we need to
solve?
• 43% English working age adults do not understand
health information - 61% when numeracy is a factor
• strong correlation between digital exclusion, wider social
disadvantage & health inequalities
• Same people?
• Need to ensure we don’t widen health inequalities by
leaving those “furthest away” behind
4. What have we done already?
• Widening Digital Participation (WDP): three year NHS
England programme 2013-16
• Worked with social enterprise Tinder Foundation to
provide national digital skills training programme
• Digitally excluded people engaged through local UK
Online Centres in deprived communities
5. How successful have we been?
• Evaluation over the three year programme using
quantitative & qualitative methods
• This has demonstrated good evidence of benefits
realised for individuals & the health & care system
• Positive outcomes include increased confidence, more
self care & greater use of online health services
6. What will continue – & what will change?
• Although good progress has been made, the digital
inclusion challenge remains
• There is a continuing commitment to Widening Digital
Participation as a programme within Paperless 2020
Domain A: Self Care & Prevention
• From 2016 responsibility for Widening Digital Participation
moves from NHS England to NHS Digital
• The first phase of WDP 2013-16 primarily focused on
developing digital skills for patients & citizens
• There is still a need to embed digital inclusion in the
mainstream of the NHS. Developing support for digital
inclusion which is sustainable & meaningful to local health
organisations will be the key focus of phase two
7. How will we deliver the next phase?
Key objectives for the new programme will be to:
• Develop models for effective local partnerships for
tackling digital exclusion through supporting local
pathfinders (16 areas – 4 per Region)
• Work with digital delivery teams to ensure that digital
health services are inclusive and health literate
• Create and communicate evidence on how best to
support groups which are currently digitally excluded
• Build partnerships with other digital engagement
initiatives in government, industry & voluntary sector
• Embed digital inclusion in NHS systems & processes eg.
planning, performance management & incentives
8. How will we prioritise our work?
• We will adopt an evidence based approach to prioritising
and focusing activity in phase two
• Data-driven analysis will help us understand much better the
cross over between digital exclusion and health inequality
• This will include mapping digital exclusion heatmaps against
indicators of local health inequalities
• The needs of the most digitally excluded will be prioritised –
reaching the furthest first
9. When will we do it?
• The next phase of Widening Digital Participation is a five
year programme running from April 2016 to March 2019
• During Year 1 2016-17 we will:
- Establish programme resourcing & governance
- Approve business case
- Procure delivery partner
- Identify & fund pathfinders
- Engage stakeholders
How much will it cost?
• Programme budget is £1m a year
10. What will success look like?
The outcomes of the programme will include:
• Number of citizens engaged
• Digital skills improved (using GDS digital inclusion scale)
• Health & care organisations engaged
• Activation of individuals (including decision making & self
care)
• Impact on frontline services (including increased use of
digital services & reduced use of primary or urgent care)
• Sustainability of digital inclusion activity at local level
(embedding in health & social care commissioning &
provision)
12. Group discussions
A. Sharing of good practice
• Opportunity to share
practical tools and
strategies that can be used
to promote digital health
literacy
• ‘Bring and buy’ format
B. Policy and strategy
• Discuss current state of
affairs of incorporating
digital inclusion in strategy
and policy
• What are the barriers and
opportunities to
implementing policy
• Next steps?
Designate a ‘feedback spokesperson’ to share discussions to the group (14:20-14:50)
