The global bioinformatics market size was valued at USD 20.72 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 25.83 billion in 2024 to USD 94.76 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 17.6% during the forecast period.


Bioinformatics is a computer-assisted data management discipline that helps gather, analyze, and present information to study life processes in healthy and diseased states, and discover novel and better drugs. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is surging the demand for innovative treatment interventions. This is increasing the number of clinical studies being undertaken to gather enough data and provide effective treatment solutions.


The increasing volume of data generated by these clinical studies to interpret and analyze the data has surged the demand for creating advanced solutions. The expanding use of these solutions in analyzing genomic data to guide treatment decisions is increasing the number of collaborations between research institutions and pharmaceutical companies. Moreover, the growing use of these platforms and services in every step of drug discovery, which includes target identification, drug design, and toxicity prediction, has accelerated the drug discovery process.


This is likely to broaden the treatment spectrum for treating a range of diseases and subsequently contribute to the market’s growth during the forecast period. Moreover, a rising number of initiatives and programs aimed to promote the use of these solutions in healthcare is driving the market growth.



  • In October 2023, the Canadian government invested USD 15 million to develop a first-of-its-kind Pan-Canadian genome library. Such investments made by government entities encourage research projects, which subsequently surges the demand for tools and techniques needed for data analysis.


During the COVID-19 pandemic, the global market witnessed positive growth due to the effective implementation of these solutions to study and identify suitable vaccines against the infection. Bioinformatics solutions helped in studying the large amount of genomic sequence information to understand the functioning of the virus and identify potential targets for treatment. Various tools and techniques were used to develop models to predict infection patterns and identify effective treatment options. Since 2021, owing to the positive outcomes observed in the clinical research of COVID-19, the applications of this software and services have expanded, which is anticipated to help the market maintain steady growth during the forecast period.


Bioinformatics Market Trends


Growing Use of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning


One of the prevailing global bioinformatics market trends observed is the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to extract meaningful patterns from large and complex datasets. This accelerates the drug discovery process, improvises prediction models, and introduces personalized medicine.

Bioinformatics Market Growth Factors


Increased Funding for Genomics Research to Surge Demand for Bioinformatic Solutions


Bioinformatics is an emerging discipline that uses skills and technologies from computer science and biology to understand and analyze biological data. One field where it plays a significant role is genomics, which generates vast amounts of data. It helps provide meaningful insights that can be used for the diagnosis of a rare condition, to identify and monitor contagious organisms among a population, and identify the best treatment for a patient with cancer. To explore whole-genome sequencing and introduce novel treatment interventions for rare and chronic diseases, government and non-government organizations are actively investing in genomic research.



  • For instance, in December 2022, the U.K. government invested £175 million (USD 223.02 million) in genomics research. This investment was made to explore the effectiveness of using whole-genome sequencing in treating genetic diseases identified in newborn babies. This study was led by Genomics England in partnership with the National Health Service (NHS).


The collection and storage of genetic mutations that have been identified and found to be associated with resistance have led to the creation of many genomics-based tools, such as PhyResSE, TB-Profiler, and Mykrobe Predictor, among others. These knowledge management tools allow researchers to predict drug resistance immediately after obtaining a sample’s genetic sequencing data, which is anticipated to be an effective implementation of these solutions. This will surge the demand for more innovative and effective bioinformatics platforms and services, eventually driving the bioinformatics market growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Lack of Standardization in Data Formats and Analysis Methods May Limit Market Growth


Despite increasing investment in introducing novel tools and methods in the market, one of the major impediments is the lack of standardization in data formats, which may impact the process of extracting meaningful insights and lead to ineffective implementation of these solutions.



  • According to a study published by PLOS Digital Health in October 2023, health-related information holds great potential in advancing health research and improving patient care delivery. However, over 80% of this digital data in healthcare is available as unstructured data, which requires novel ways to process and standardize, and proves to be a challenge to health researchers.


In addition to this, processing large amounts of unstructured genomic data may delay the analysis process, leading to an increase in the manufacturing cost of a novel medication. Moreover, the emerging field limits its exposure to large-scale projects and also influences the interest of market players to implement these solutions to avoid financial risks. These are some of the factors that may limit the adoption or penetration rate of these solutions, subsequently limiting the market growth.
