Market Introduction  

The medical affairs outsourcing market in the MEA is further segmented into the UAE, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and the Rest of MEA. The market growth is expected due to rising R&D expenses. Thus, the pressure to curtail value is encouraging the regulative affairs outsourcing trend. Also, contract analysis organizations offer price-efficient solutions and compliance with the health authority necessities, changes in reimbursement scenario and pricing pressure and developments by the market players in medical affairs outsourcing technology in countries such as South Africa, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The countries are developing their healthcare facilities, undertaking heavy investments in the research of novel drug therapies, and increasing partnerships with foreign entities are likely to propel market growth during the forecast period.   

The countries in the MEA region have taken precautionary measures and imposed stringent regulations to control the spread of COVID-19. Countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq, and Iran have strictly imposed lockdowns. The majority of the countries in the region are dependent on other regions for medical devices and other products. As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, the World Bank forecasts that remittances to the MENA region are projected to fall sharply by 19.6%, after a total of US$ 42 billion in 2020 after a 2.6% increase in 2019. MENA countries and the global community also have a role to play in tackling COVID-19. For the first time in decades, MENA countries are facing a common issue with no political or religious agenda. The advent of high-throughput screens of approved compounds and small molecules has allowed researchers to effectively evaluate large drug libraries for their in vitro antiviral activity against novel targets. Russia has developed a new treatment for the COVID-19 patients and will soon conduct a trial in partnership with Saudi Arabian health. The current pharmaceutical markets in the MENA region vary significantly between different nations. For example, high spending power and a cultural preference for expensive foreign brands in Saudi Arabia have resulted in 85% of pharmaceuticals being imported. In contrast, 90% of the consumption in Egypt is domestically produced, with a much greater market share for generics. In recent years, South Africa has turned increasingly to generic drugs, providing an excellent opportunity for domestic and foreign manufacturers. Medical affairs play a pivotal role in overcoming barriers to accessing healthcare professionals (HCPs). Moreover, compliance requirements mean medical affairs is responsible for providing HCPs with real-time, unbiased, and transparent medical information in the MEA.
