The pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies segment is expected to account for the largest share of the CTMS market in 2016. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the increasing adoption of CTMS software during drug clinical trials by pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies. The contract research organizations segment is estimated to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, primarily due to the rising trend of clinical trial outsourcing to CROs.

On the basis of delivery mode, the global CTMS market is segmented into web-based (on-demand), licensed enterprise (on-premise), and cloud-based (SaaS) segments. The cloud-based (SaaS) segment is estimated to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, primarily due to the rising adoption of cloud-based solutions in medical research studies owing to various benefits offered by them such as low cost, high security, privacy, and easy accessibility from any device.

On the basis of component, the CTMS market is segmented into software and services. The software segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global CTMS market in 2016, and is also expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This high growth is mainly attributed to the fierce competition in the pharmaceutical industry to introduce cost-effective novel drugs in the market, increased adoption of CTMS due to advantages provided by the same among various end users, and increasing number of clinical trials.

The CTMS market is further segmented into enterprise CTMS and site CTMS on the basis of type. The enterprise CTMS segment is expected to command the largest share of the global CTMS market in 2016, and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the forecast period.
