The global electronic data capture (EDC) systems market size reached USD 1.4 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 3.3 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% during 2025-2033. The rapid digitalization of clinical trials, the rising adoption of the cloud-based system, and the introduction of mobile-EDC represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Electronic data capture (EDC) systems refer to software tools designed to collect and manage clinical trial data in electronic format. They capture a wide variety of data, including patient demographics, medical history, adverse events, laboratory results, clinical outcome assessments, electronic informed consent (eConsent), and study site information. EDC systems are widely used by regulatory agencies, clinical trial sponsors, contract research organizations (CROs), trial participants, and data managers. They help streamline data collection, improve data quality, minimize human errors, protect sensitive information, and reduce the risk of data loss and duplications. EDC systems also enhance the efficiency of the clinical trial, provide real-time monitoring capabilities, assist in decision-making, and ensure data accuracy, reliability, and consistency.
The rapid digitalization of clinical trials across the globe is one of the primary factors propelling the market growth. EDC systems are widely used to automate various clinical trial operations, such as data collection, storage, monitoring, and analysis, which, in turn, accelerate the process, provide transparency, prevent errors, and improve overall efficiency. In addition to this, the growing demand for new treatments and therapeutics due to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), are acting as another growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the rising adoption of the cloud-based system, which is cost-effective, user-friendly, scalable, highly secure, and offers real-time access to data, is providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, the introduction of mobile-EDC, which utilize smartphones or tablets as a convenient and cost-effective way to collect patients' data, thus improving engagement, increasing compliance, and reducing the risk of errors, is favoring the market growth. Apart from this, the integration of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve data analysis, enable faster decision-making, and identify patterns, trends, and anomalies is positively influencing the market growth. Moreover, the implementation of stringent government regulations regarding the safety and integrity of clinical trial data is facilitating the demand for advanced data management and reporting systems, such as EDC, which aids in ensuring greater compliance with the authorities. Other factors, including increasing demand for personalized medicines, extensive research and development (R&D) activities, and the growing focus on patient-centric clinical trials, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
