The global clinical pharmacy market reached nearly $3.0 billion in 2012. This market is expected to grow to nearly $3.2 billion in 2013 and $4.9 billion in 2018 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8% over the five-year period, 2015 to 2020. Clinical pharmacy has a rich history of advancing practice through innovation.
