Analysts’ Viewpoint on Global Market Scenario
In order to accelerate pharma R&D across targets and disease areas amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, stakeholders in the bioinformatics business are capitalizing on this trend to increase the availability of life-saving drugs. Bioinformatics is catering to the demand for advanced treatment of several diseases and effective preventive solutions. However, there is a need for integrated software platforms that cater to complex medical requirements of patients. Hence, market stakeholders should partner with tech providers to develop integrated software platforms. As such, a surge in R&D activities has led to a rise in data generation, which increases the demand for efficient technology for data management in the healthcare sector.
Bioinformatics is an important tool for managing the large data generated during the drug discovery process, starting from pre-clinical trials to target identification and screening. Bioinformatics data management stores data in one place, thereby enabling effective analysis of information whenever required. This helps in increasing the R&D productivity of a company by recognizing drug targets.
Bioinformatics technologies can save time and money, as it combines data into different interactive models to highlight disease pathway and aid drug discovery. Drug development can take years to complete and the cost associated could exceed millions of dollars. The use of bioinformatics has the potential to cut down these costs significantly. It can also help the companies overcome challenges of storing valuable and extensive processing data.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has placed a high priority on identifying drugs to prevent or lessen clinical infection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused by the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Stakeholders in the market for bioinformatics are taking advantage of this opportunity to increase R&D in different computational approaches to identify potential therapeutics. They are investigating existing FDA-approved drugs that could block coronavirus from entering cells. Since coronavirus and its variants share a large genome, there is a need for bioinformatics to rapidly discover existing therapeutic agents that can be effective in reducing morbidity and mortality in patients.
Diverse solutions of currently available bioinformatics platforms hamper the growth of the bioinformatics business. The need of combining the available software to build a composite application for current single-task tools is increasing. The tools should be compatible with each other to use the data. Current bioinformatics platforms do not offer a well-defined data format, which, in turn, restrains the growth of the global market for bioinformatics. Hence, stakeholders should team up with tech providers to innovate in bioinformatics platforms.
Bioinformatics is used to manage the data gathered from research & development projects in the biopharmaceutical, life sciences, and biotechnology industries. The growth of the bioinformatics market is driven by a rise in applications of IT in the healthcare sector, along with robust technological advancements. The usage of information technology or IT has enabled easy storage, processing, access, and retrieval of data.
Significant investments by pharmaceutical companies in chemical and drug research are expected to drive the global market over the next few years. Bioinformatics platforms were initially considered IT tools; however, presently, these are used as integrated solutions that provide algorithms and statistical tools for data analysis. Bioinformatics solutions help in integrating data management and analysis for applications such as gene sequencing.
Bioinformatics has applications in preventive medicine, molecular medicine, gene therapy, drug development, and others. Other application areas include forensic analysis of microbes, genetic research for antibiotic resistance, and veterinary science. The molecular medicine segment accounted for the largest market share in 2020. The drug development segment is anticipated to expand at the highest CAGR from 2021 to 2028 in the bioinformatics market.
Key players in the global bioinformatics industry are expanding their market position by adopting various strategies such as mergers & acquisitions and research collaborations with other companies to launch innovative products and consolidate their market positions across the world.
A few expansion strategies adopted by players operating in the global bioinformatics market include the launch of the Pan-Cancer IVD (in vitro diagnostic) Test and innovations in cloud-based bioinformatics platforms.
Participants in the market are joining forces to introduce Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based assay that analyzes cancer-relevant genetic alterations from DNA and RNA derived from a patient’s tumor in one integrated workflow.
