Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) Market Analysis

A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) is a computational or mathematical modeling approach to reveal connections between biological activities and chemical compounds' structural properties. It attempts to correlate chemical structure with an activity using statistical approaches. The QSAR models are beneficial for various purposes, including the prediction of actions of untested chemicals. In addition, it helps to prioritize desired biological activities as an in silico methodology and thus decreases the number of candidate chemicals to be tested with in vivo experiments. Key factors that are driving growth of the market are increasing adoption of modeling tools in drug discovery and increasing economic burden of drug discovery. However, less adoption rate of the technique in emerging countries hinders the growth of the market.

Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship ( Overview

North America is the largest market for the quantitative structure-activity relationship (, with the US holding the largest market share, followed by Canada.
