Bioinformatics Industry

The global bioinformatics market size was valued at USD 10.1 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7% from 2023 to 2030. Growing demand in the process of novel drug R&D and private and public funding initiatives to support R&D activities are expected to be the key factors driving the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the introduction of user-friendly and readily available bioinformatics software such as RasMol, AUTODOCK, BALL, and Bioclipse, and growing market usage of these tools for the accurate and effective analysis of biomarkers discovery programs that assist in toxicity detection during the initial stage of the drug development process are expected to drive industry growth over the forecast period.

Bioinformatics software and tools are being used as integrated solutions that provide algorithms and statistical methodologies for data analysis and help integrate data management and analysis for applications such as next-generation sequencing, genomic and proteomic structuring, modeling, and three-dimensional drug designing. Increasing R&D initiatives in the proteomics and genomics market, including other related ‘-omics’ fields, are further expected to support market growth to meet data storage and analysis demands.

Bioinformatics Market Segments:

Application Insights

The genomics application segment accounted for a significant revenue share in 2022. Growing demand for pharmacogenomics in drug development and sequence screening and the introduction of technological advancements aimed at managing large sets of genomic data are key factors accounting for this large share. Based on application, the market is segmented into genomics, molecular phylogenetics, metabolomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, cheminformatics and drug designing, and others.

Product Insights

The bio-content management segment led the market with a revenue share of 39.6% in 2022. High usage rates of bioinformatics tools and software in database management are one of the primary reasons attributed to its large share, as it efficiently provides easy data sharing with external databases and resources and promotes data integration. The genetic sequence analysis platforms segment is also expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period due to the rapidly growing demand for whole-genome and exome sequencing technologies as a result of exponentially reduced costs of genetic sequencing.

Data compatibility and improved data sharing and collaboration are ensured by adherence to guidelines set out by organizations such as the Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS), Genomic Data Commons (GDC), and Minimum Information About a Microarray Experiment (MIAME). In April 2022, ATCC entered into an agreement with Qiagen to share sequencing data from its collection of animal and human cell lines and biological materials. Qiagen will form a database from this information and use it in the development and delivery of high-value content for the pharma and biotechnology industries, which helps in knowing about new diseases and the development of new therapeutic targets.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market and accounted for a revenue share of 43.6% in 2022. The majority of the revenue is generated from the U.S. and Canada, driven by the extensive presence of top research organizations, academic institutions, and bioinformatics businesses in the region. Increasing investments in the research & development of new and innovative technologies related to molecular biology and genome sequencing is expected to boost the regional market. For instance, in June 2022, LatchBio, California’s biotechnology research startup, launched an end-to-end bioinformatics platform that handles big biotech data to accelerate scientific discovery.
