Market Report Description

The Global Bioinformatics Market size is expected to reach $19.9 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 12.5% CAGR during the forecast period.

In order to serve several fields of scientific study, including biomedicine, bioinformatics—a mix of biology and information technology—links biological data with methods for information storage, dissemination, and analysis. It makes use of software tools for data management, data mining, data warehousing, and other functions. Exploiting such data produces scientific findings that are used in the study of genetics and genomes.

There are several bioinformatics tools on the market. They are divided into four groups: tools for sequence analysis, tools for homology and similarity analysis, and other tools. The discipline includes a wide range of cutting-edge and specialized aspects of life, including comparative genomics, DNA microarrays, structural genomics, and medical data. Therefore, the market share for bioinformatics globally is increased by the aforementioned considerations.

Sequencing and data analysis may be useful tools for the characterization and detection of viruses in animals, environments, and people during a pandemic. The development of vaccinations and less expensive diagnostic techniques may be guided by an understanding of viral variability, while knowledge of transmission networks is essential for public health control and containment measures.

For instance, Illumina provided cloud-based bioinformatics and sequencing supplies to Canadian COVID-19 projects in November 2021. The funds will help the CanCoGen, or Canada's COVID-19 Genomics Network, HostSeq, and VirusSeq initiatives. Over the anticipated time, these variables are predicted to have a positive impact on the bioinformatics industry.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic served as a bioinformatics field test. Every nation has made studying and comprehending how to stop the spread of the virus a top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary technique for examining SARS-CoV-2 genomes, which provides essential knowledge about the virus, is next-generation sequencing. Databases of biological and host-virus interactions, as well as bioinformatics pipelines, are essential tools for calculating these data and improving understanding of SARS-CoV-2. As a result, several research is being carried out to comprehend the genetic makeup of the virus; bioinformatics is the driving force behind these studies.

Market Growth Factors

Increasing Support from the Public and Private Sectors for Bioinformatics

Globally, a large number of public and commercial entities are making investments in the area of bioinformatics. The quality of these services has increased as a result of these expenditures, which have led to technical breakthroughs in bioinformatics services. For instance, the UK government established a new partnership called COVID-19 Genomics UK Consortium (COG-UK) in March 2020 with an investment of EUR 20 million to sequence the genomes of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that is driving the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Adoption of Genomics in Specialized/Personalized Medicine

Personalized medicine research is becoming more popular among pharmaceutical corporations. Personalized medicine allows doctors to pinpoint a patient's specific needs and then prescribe medications and treatments to meet those needs. This method ensures improved treatment outcomes. In addition, advances in the field of gene therapy are projected to enable doctors to treat a problem by inserting a gene into a patient's cell, potentially replacing existing medications and operations.

Market Restraining Factor

Expensive Equipment

NGS technology advancements have increased the need for rapid, precise, and user-friendly bioinformatics tools. Not all scientists doing experimental research are bioinformaticians. Because of this, having accessible tools is crucial for using bioinformatics systems. Due to the fact that many bioinformatics tools lack an appropriate user-friendly interface, they often need significant computer knowledge. The cost of genomic instruments, which range between USD 10 and 20 million, is premium because of their extensive features and functions.
