To gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research phase. Global heads of Pharmacovigilance, chief medical officers, vice presidents of Drug Safety, chief executive officers, and commercial directors from contract research organizations (CROs), PV service providers, drug safety software vendors, and biotechnology companies were among the supply-side sources. Global drug safety officers, regulatory affairs directors, risk management leads from large pharmaceutical companies, biotech safety managers, qualified persons for pharmacovigilance (QPPVs), and pharmacovigilance outsourcing coordinators from both established and start-up biopharma companies were among the demand-side sources. Primary research confirmed timelines for the adoption of AI and automation, validated market segmentation across service types (Adverse Event Reporting, Risk Assessment, Data Mining, Consulting), and collected information on software platform migration trends (cloud vs. on-premise), regulatory inspection readiness, outsourcing vs. insourcing dynamics, and signal detection methodologies.
