[Research Report] The bioinformatics market is expected to grow from US$ 12,609.39 million in 2021 to US$ 34,749.78 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 15.7% from 2022 to 2028.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

Bioinformatics is the application of information technology to manage biological data that helps in decoding plant genomes. The bioinformatics stores, analyses and interprets the big data generated by life-science experiments, or collected in a clinical context. This multidisciplinary field is driven by experts from a variety of backgrounds including biologists, computer scientists, mathematicians, statisticians and physicists. Bioinformatics allows researchers to perform experiments on a timeline that matters in a person’s lifetime. For example, during the coronavirus pandemic, researchers were able to sequence the virus’s genome, identify what was likely to be causing the virus to enter cells, and develop a vaccine based on the discovered genome within a matter of months. Additional bioinformatic approaches are being used to identify and treat other diseases like diabetes and cancer. The growth of the bioinformatics market is attributed to the increasing funding and investments in bioinformatics, and increased number of genomic research activities with corresponding adoption of bioinformatics are expected to propel the bioinformatics market growth during the forecast period.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

In the field of genetics and genomics, the bioinformatics aids in sequencing and annotating genomes. Bioinformatics plays a role in the analysis of gene and protein expression and regulation. Bioinformatics tools aid in the comparison of genetic and genomic data and more generally in the understanding of evolutionary aspects of molecular biology. The role of human genomics research and related biotechnologies has the potential to achieve several public health goals, such as to reduce global health inequalities by providing developing countries with efficient, cost-effective, and robust means of preventing, diagnosing, and treating major diseases that burden their populations. Currently, cancer treatment is also set to gain from genomic information to predict how an individual responds to drugs and inform prescription of the appropriate drug or dosage.

The initiatives to generate and collect human genomic data is evolving rapidly and is highly diverse, with private and public initiatives across multiple countries. Since 1990, the cost of sequencing a whole genome dropped from US$ 2.7 million to as low as US$ 300, opening new opportunities to build repositories of genomic data. By the start of 2020, there were 187 genomic initiatives globally of which 50% originated in the U.S. and 19% in Europe. Thirty-eight million genomes had been analyzed using techniques ranging from genotyping to whole genome sequencing, and this number is expected to grow to 52 million by 2025. Therefore, the increasing number of genomics activities along with rising adoption of bioinformatics is driving the market.

One of the challenges is that bioinformatics is a collection of different fields – structural biology, genomics, chemical biology, etc – and they’re all moving very quickly. New techniques are coming online almost daily, there are lots of new data types, so keeping up with the deluge of new things is very difficult.
