The growth of the global eTMF systems market is fueled by several factors such as rising activities in terms of acquisitions, new solution and service deployments, and collaborations by key players operating in the market, coupled with the increasing number of clinical trial studies. For instance, in October 2019, SureClinical Inc. launched a transparent eTMF pricing policy. To provide value to the prospective users, the company has posted its prices and terms online to battle price discrimination in this industry. However, budget constraints of the small and medium-sized enterprises, along with the dearth of skilled professionals for operating the electronic systems, can hinder the preference of such solutions. As a result, such elements can hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Several market players currently dominate the global eTMF systems market. The key players are involved in product launches and strategic collaborations to strengthen their market positions. For instance, in June 2018, Phlexglobal, a UK-based specialist provider of TMF and eTMF management solutions, is adopting Version 1 of the eTMF Exchange Mechanism Standard (eTMF-EMS) of the TMF Reference Model (TMF-RM) into PhlexEview, the company’s eTMF technology. Such strategies push the growth of the eTMF systems market.
