        associated with patient recruitment and retention. During our research,
        we identified that more than 60% of the players claim to use social
        media platforms to enroll patients for clinical studies. Further,

    --  A detailed market forecast analysis, based on several parameters,
        offering an informed perspective on the likely evolution of this market
        over the period 2019-2030. The future opportunity was segmented across
        [A] key therapeutic areas (oncology, infectious diseases, cardiovascular
        diseases, CNS disorders, respiratory disorders, metabolic disorders, and
        others), [B] steps in the patient recruitment process (pre-screening and
        screening), [C] phases of development (phase I, phase II, phase III and
        phase IV), and [D] different global regions (North America, Europe,
        Asia-Pacific and rest of the world). Driven by the steady growth in the
        volume of clinical trials, the patient recruitment services market is
        expected to grow at an annualized rate of nearly ~4% between 2019 and
        2030. Based on the aforementioned estimates, clinical trials evaluating
        drugs for cancer indications are expected to contribute to 23% of the
        revenues generated within the market by 2030; this is likely to be
        followed by trials evaluating therapies for infectious diseases (15%),
        cardiovascular diseases (15%), CNS disorders (10%), respiratory
        disorders (7%), metabolic disorders (6%), and other indications (24%).

The report features inputs from a number of eminent industry stakeholders. Lahmo remarked, "Most of the experts we spoke to concur on the opinion that the rate of outsourcing of patient recruitment operations is likely to increase at a fast pace due to steady rise in global clinical trials, demand for highly specific study participants, and complex inclusion-exclusion criteria. In fact, some stakeholders expect close to 40% of such operations to be outsourced in the future." The report features detailed transcripts of discussions held with the following experts:

    --  Simon Klaasen (Co-founder and Managing Director, Link2Trials)
    --  Hagit Nof (Chief Operation Officer and Business Development, nRollmed)
