Frost & Sullivan will host a live briefing on Tuesday, September 23, at 3:00 pm EDT to provide industry participants an overview of a recently published study focusing on Clinical Trials Markets in Brazil.

Over the years, Brazil has increasingly raised its attractiveness for pharmaceutical clinical trials and outsourcing due to cost advantages, considerable patient pool and quality resources. Furthermore, expiring patents, and consequent increasing presence of generics drugs, and fiercely competition are compelling pharmaceutical companies to raise R&D investments and improve the speed of new drugs launching. From the challenges of pharmaceutical companies, to the need of developing new drugs for new diseases, to the increasing and aging population, these companies are setting themselves up to take advantage of promising market dynamics in Brazil.

Highlights of the briefing include analyses of: Clinical Trials market overview and profile, structure and processes, outsourcing, major challenges and trends and growth opportunities.

This briefing will benefit market participants, companies interested in participate in this market, hospitals and healthcare institutions by discussing emerging trends, market opportunities and challenges and providing a complete overview despite forward projections for the Pharmaceutical Clinical Trials Market in Brazil.

"Higher costs, competition from generics, and lack of productivity from R&D have been challenging pharmaceutical companies worldwide to better manage R&D costs and deadlines as well as improve quality of the whole drug discovery process," observes Daniela Putti, Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "To responsibly address these issues, pharmaceutical and biotech companies are seeking for more accessible and efficient clinical trial locations such as emerging countries like Brazil. Here these companies and Contract Research Organizations (CROs) may likely find promising market features and growth opportunities for clinical trials."
