Companies are adopting these technologies for drug discovery. For instance, in June 2019, Navitas Life Sciences (US) in partnership with ThoughtSphere (US) Company adopted AI and ML technologies to deliver unparalleled data collection.

On the other hand, Europe is expected to hold the second-largest position in the global life sciences BPO market, due to the favorable regulatory scenario to support the outsourcing process in the life sciences industry. For instance, in 2020, UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) issued guidance on how investigators and sponsors should manage clinical trials during the outbreak. Such moves are set to increase the European life science industry.

Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing region over the assessment period due to the rising demand for outsourcing in the life science industry, and the rising importance of safety & security of products. Initiatives by the government such as the introduction of ICD-10 standards that capture the inpatient procedures has supported the rising adoption of electronic health records (EHR), electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) in the life sciences industry. These digital platforms enable the rapid growth of the back-end payer and provider BPO services, such as claims processing, claims management, financial and payroll management, and other administrative services.

Furthermore, the growth of the Middle East & Africa is attributed to the technological development in the field of medical and healthcare industry, high penetration of advanced healthcare technologies in research organizations such as Saudi Arabia and UAE.
