Top 5 vendors in the global life science software market from 2017 to 2021: Technavio.
Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global life science software market 2017-2021 report. The market research report also lists 12 other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
Competitive Vendor Landscape
According to the market research analysis, the global life science software market is fragmented and offers ample opportunities for M&A. Large enterprises and core life sciences solutions vendors can enter partnerships and work in collaboration with each other to improve their market presence.
The market is driven by technology, and the small vendors focus on introducing technological innovations. However, the lack of resources hampers the growth of their businesses. Large enterprises, such as Oracle, SAS, and SAP, use M&A as a strategy for exploring new markets.
“The market is witnessing the entry of numerous pure-play SaaS-based life sciences solutions providers that compete with the large open-source life sciences solutions providers. The organizations assess the vendors based on the technical knowledge of life sciences solutions and the quality of the products,” says Ishmeet Kaur, a lead enterprise application analyst from Technavio.
