Dublin, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "eClinical Solutions Market 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The eclinical solutions market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $8.29 billion in 2024 to $9.15 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in healthcare digitalization, electronic health records (EHR), increasing regulatory compliance, increased need for efficiency and productivity, and increased healthcare integration. The eclinical solutions market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.52 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing interoperability and data exchange, telehealth and remote care, value-based care models, growing demand for population health management, and increasing adoption of precision medicine. Major trends in the forecast period include artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, technological advancements, innovative solutions, strategic collaborations, and healthcare integration solutions. The growth of the eclinical solutions market is expected to be fueled by the increasing number of clinical trials. In May 2023, according to ClinicalTrials.gov, the number of registered clinical trials studies increased from 399,499 in 2022 to 437,533, encompassing all 50 states of the United States and 221 countries globally. The surge in clinical trials, with 53% recorded in non-U.S. locations, is poised to drive the growth of the eclinical solutions market during the forecast period. Major companies in the eClinical Solutions market are concentrating on developing innovations, such as a comprehensive clinical trial management solution aimed at streamlining the research and development process, enhancing data integrity, and improving regulatory compliance. For example, in May 2024, EDETEK Inc., a US-based innovative clinical solutions firm, launched CONFORM eClinical Version 5.1, a comprehensive clinical trial management solution designed to enhance and simplify the clinical trial process. This integrated platform includes essential components like electronic data capture, randomization management, and an electronic trial master file, all focused on improving efficiency, data quality, and regulatory compliance. By providing a self-contained system that meets industry standards, CONFORM eClinical Version 5.1 allows sponsors to gain better control over study conduct, resulting in significant cost savings and quicker turnaround times. Major companies in the eClinical Solutions market are concentrating on developing innovations in eClinical Technologies, such as eClinical Platforms, to enhance data management, improve patient engagement, and streamline clinical trial processes. For example, in September 2023, Datacubed Health, a US-based eClinical technology firm, launched its eClinical platform app in China through a partnership with AppInChina for deployment across official Android and Apple app stores. This launch highlights the company's commitment to compliance, as it has established a legal entity in China and obtained the necessary licenses. The app has been tailored to meet local requirements and thoroughly tested for compliance with Chinese network security standards, backed by a secure SaaS infrastructure hosted on AWS Beijing. North America was the largest region in the eclinical solutions market in 2024. The regions covered in the eclinical solutions market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

| CRF: Reinvestment Down At The NAV Works To Your Benefit |
Cornerstone Total Return Fund (CRF) offers a high dividend yield of 15.6% with monthly payouts, making it ideal for income-focused investors. The fund trades at a premium to NAV but this allows dividends to be reinvested down at the fund's NAV. This provides an immediate capital gain on distributions. CRF is less resilient during market downturns due to its reliance on net realized gains for distributions, making it riskier in volatile markets. |

| Closed-End Funds: Screening For Potential Opportunites To Kick Off Q1 2025 |
The closed-end fund space saw a significant narrowing of discounts throughout 2024 as equity markets charged higher and now discounts remain tight heading into 2025. In particular, equity CEFs have seen significantly narrowed discounts along with taxable fixed-income, though municipal bond funds look relatively attractive after widening discounts in December. We are screening for funds with the deepest discounts and widest z-scores to find potential buys and funds that may be getting a bit pricey as sell candidates. |

RCS and PCM recently announced distribution cuts, and they were simultaneously trading at some hefty premiums to their NAV per share. We saw the usual outcome, which is a drastic sell-off as is often the case with the dangerous combination of elevated NAV distribution rates and premiums are mixed. We are looking at two more names to warn about in the future, but predicting distribution cuts is incredibly difficult as funds can pay out what they'd like. |

| Compounding Income Strategy With Cornerstone Total Return Fund |
Cornerstone Total Return Fund offers a monthly dividend with a high distribution rate of 13%. CRF offers a compelling Dividend Reinvestment Program (DRIP) that allows investors to buy at NAV, which becomes a discount when the fund trades at a premium. The main risk to the fund is its high allocation to technology stocks, which could devalue the fund in a correction. |

| CLM & CRF: High Yields, High Premiums, Bargain Prices (For Some) |
CLM and CRF have historically sold at very high premiums, perhaps driven by the allure of high cash yields. Shareholders participating in their dividend-reinvestment plans (DRIP) have been able to buy new shares at a highly discounted price (i.e. NAV), essentially at the expense of non-DRIP shareholders. As more shareholders come to understand how this works, I expect the air will slowly go out of the balloon. |
