Highlights
While R&D growth is still strong in the Asian and Latin American countries of China, Brazil, and India, it has stalled, or even declined, in Eastern Europe and Russia. China, Brazil, and India also have some of the lowest site densities suggesting that they still have significant opportunity for further expansion.

South Korea has a rapidly emerging clinical trial sector. Regulatory standards are high, and approval processes efficient. The expertise of South Korea in drug discovery and preclinical research, is being recognized, and the country is emerging as a destination for R&D across the entire drug development spectrum.

Qatar, Taiwan, and Cuba have great potential as R&D destinations, although they are likely to lag behind the main next-wave countries identified in the report: South Korea, Thailand, Bulgaria, Jordan, and Egypt.
