“Global Bioinformatics Market: Industry Size, Trends and Forecast 2014-2018”


Global Industry Analysts Inc. (GIA) announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Bioinformatics markets. The global Bioinformatics market is forecast to reach US$6.8 billion by the year 2017. Principal factors driving market growth include significant development in the field of genomics and its ever-growing application in the research and development processes; breakthrough technologies in drug discovery initiatives; and the entry of new market players along with the growth in size and revenues of existing companies. Going forwards, the penetration of genomics in drug discovery is expected to increase further, which bodes tremendous market prospects for bioinformatics.

Research and Development Extent
Backed by significant developments in the area of genomics, there is increase in the overall volume of distinct biological data, which includes protein and gene sequences. This leaves an arduous task for R&D laboratories of analysis. Data management tools based on bioinformatics have helped companies in easing this task, thereby enhancing their productivity by way of identifying new biomarkers for toxicity and drug efficacy, diagnostic biomarkers as well as new drug targets. Bioinformatics help utilization of this gene and protein data and construct interactive models that aid in identifying disease pathways and effects of compounds. The penetration of genomics in drug discovery is expected to witness further growth, which bodes tremendous market prospects for bioinformatics. It is expected that more and more investments would be made by pharmaceutical companies in research and development initiatives, of which a major chunk would be towards bioinformatics. Concerns associated with patent expiries of several blockbuster drugs, shrinking product pipelines, and increasing drug development costs are driving pharma companies to seek help from biotechnology. Bioinformatics, being helpful at every stage of R&D processes in biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors, offers increasing potential for future growth.
