Analysts are projecting that total clinical research spending in India will increase by more than 30% annually through 2010. There will be a huge demand for qualified and trained clinical research professionals. Also, along with the demand, there are great career prospects for clinical research professionals in various site management offices (SMOs-where clinical trials are conducted), CROs and pharmaceutical companies. If India were to take advantage of this boom, the country would require at least 50,000 clinical research professionals by 2010. They will also be in demand abroad. There are more than 2,50,000 positions vacant worldwide with salaries for a clinical research coordinator in the US starting at $40,000 per annum and $1,00,000 for a business development manager. According to a McKinsey report, there will be a requirement of 50,000 clinical research professionals by 2010.
