Report Overview: Medical Writing Market

The global medical writing market size was valued at USD 2.3 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 9.9% from 2021 to 2027.  High demand for medical writing services can be attributed to a rise in CRO outsourcing, increased R&D investments by market players, favorable environment for clinical trials in developing regions, new medical device regulations, and increasing penetration of internet and social media. As per a conducted study conducted in 2018, around 80% of internet users in the U.S. searched online for health-related information. In addition, nearly 60% of social media users rely on information posted by doctors on social media platforms. Physicians can expand their reach for better patient care by engaging with patients on these platforms. Hence, demand for online medical writing is increasing. However, the information posted on such forums should be in accordance with medical writing guidelines. In recent years, pharmaceutical companies have adapted their advertising strategies to improve patient outreach. In addition, the growing influence of social media on customer’s decisions has compelled pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to reconsider their marketing strategies. Hence, the robust growth of health and wellness-related blogs is expected to increase the demand for scientific writing. Regulatory agencies require detailed methodologies for all phases of product development for approval, which makes the process tedious. In addition, insurance providers demand information about drugs for determining reimbursement policies. Hence, it has become challenging for pharmaceutical companies to keep up with industry norms. Increasing investments in R&D are resulting in a rise in the number of clinical trials. However, the number of medical writers is not increasing at the same rate, resulting in the shortage of skilled writers in the field of medicine, which is expected to increase the scope for new writers in the field of medicine.
