Date:10/20/2009

New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.healthcareIT.frost.com), Competitive Profiling of Market Participants in Lifesciences-IT, finds that the market was worth $26.5 billion in 2008 and is estimated to reach $41.6 billion in 2015.

Pharmaceutical companies are reducing their IT budgets. They are also rationalising new purchases due to uncertainties in the industry.
