Clinical Research Industry in India is growing at a very promising and healthy rate. During 2010 and 2012, Indian Clinical Research Industry is forecasted to grow at 30% rate with a business of US$ 600 million. With this tremendous growth rate, India will be one of the fastest growing Clinical Research destinations in the world, providing excellent job opportunities for graduates from Life Sciences (Biotech, Biochemistry, Genetics,
Microbiology), Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, BPT, BAMS and BHMS backgrounds. Though Clinical Research Industry in India started from the year 1992, it shown very high rate of growth from 2004.
Updated regulatory requirements (Schedule ‘Y’ updated in 2005) from Drugs Controller General (India) and Ethical guidelines from Indian Council of Medical Research have prompted Indian and Western Clinical Research Organizations to maintain compliance with DCGI and ICMR guidelines. Western companies were encouraged by the move because they were always looking for cost effective solution for their otherwise very expensive Clinical Trial projects. They found India as a good destination. India being a second most populous country in the world with 1.2 Billion people, is also home for various diseases, with 1 in 5 adults in urban India suffering from both Diabetes and Hypertension, close to 4 new infections every minute with Tuberculosis (TB) alone and over 30 million cases of Cardiovascular diseases. India has very good healthcare infrastructure to take care of these patients, which is another plus point for Western CROs to conduct their Clinical Trials. Another biggest advantage in India is availability of English speaking graduates, who are enthusiastic and energetic. Though these candidates have educational qualification, they have no or very little Clinical Research Industry knowledge. As a result many Clinical/Contract Research Organizations (CROs) find it difficult to employ such candidates though they have many openings.
