science, especially in the case of pharmaceutical and bio-pharmaceutical business. This has been on
the rise with the outsourcing of clinical trials that constitutes a crucial part of the drug development
process. A research study named "Booming Clinical Trials Market in India" highlights about the trends of
Indian clinical trials that has been expected to grow at a CGAR beyond 30 percent during the years 2000

tourism and become the global clinical trial hub.

This report also highlights leading pharmaceutical players and the clinical research organizations (CRO's)
conducting clinical trials globally by locating patients who qualify for the trials. This process is reported
to be simpler in India than any other Western destination. Few other essential aspects such as the cost-
effective nature if the trials and the prominence of ailments have also facilitated the growth of medical
researches. The report further reveals certain controls, for instance the absence of sufficient medical
staff and inappropriate IPR security that has halted the growth. Hence, for clinical trials to become a
