The pharmaceutical quality management systems market is expected to reach $3.97 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 15.6% from 2023 to 2030.

Succeeding extensive secondary and primary research and in-depth analysis of the market scenario, the report studies the key industry drivers, restraints, challenges, and opportunities. The growth of this market is driven by the increasing costs of drug manufacturing, pharmaceutical companies growing need to comply with regulatory requirements, the rapid growth of the pharmaceutical industry, and the benefits of software-based quality management systems. Additionally, the growing generic drugs & and biopharmaceuticals markets and pharmaceutical companies’ increasing preference for platform-as-a-service solutions are expected to generate growth opportunities for the players in this market. However, the high costs of deploying pharmaceutical quality management systems restrain the growth of this market. Security concerns related to on-cloud deployments among pharmaceutical organizations are a major challenge for market growth.

Based on solution type, the pharmaceutical quality management systems market is segmented into non-conformance/deviation management, CAPA management, audit management, risk & compliance management, suppliers & materials management, inspection management, document management, change management, training management, and other solution types. The CAPA management segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The need for Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) management in the pharmaceutical industry is driven by several factors that ensure product quality, patient safety, and regulatory compliance. CAPA management is essential for addressing issues and preventing their recurrence, further contributing to the overall integrity of pharmaceutical operations.

Based on deployment mode, the global pharmaceutical quality management systems market is segmented into cloud/web-based and on-premise. In 2023, the cloud/web-based segment is expected to account for the largest share of the pharmaceutical quality management systems market. The largest share of this segment is attributed to several advantages offered by cloud/web-based deployments over on-premise deployments, such as cost minimization, easy accessibility, adjustability, and updated cloud systems. Another major advantage of web-based deployments is the lower risk of data loss through better encryption and data backup.

Based on end user, the global pharmaceutical quality management systems market is segmented into pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, contract development and manufacturing organizations/contract research organizations, and research laboratories. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The highest CAGR of the segment is attributed to increasing R&D investments by pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies, widespread utilization of quality management systems to ensure product quality, and a growing emphasis on personalized medicine research.
