In this regard, the Indian subcontinent has witnessed a steady rise and expansion in the field of clinical trials, medical researches and studies and is becoming one of the most coveted hubs for medical tourism. This it proves that the Indian medical sector has taken proactive steps in medical treatments and drug development activities. With the amount of applications for medical research and studies are increasing, the pace of clinical trials is estimated to grow in the future years. According to a report published by the Booming Clinical Trials Market in India, the expansion of medical studies by the global and domestic players is on the rise every day. In keeping with this expansion, clinical trials in India are predicted to touch the benchmark of 1950 by 2013.
