Computational Biology Market to Exhibit 21.30% CAGR 2012-2018 as Companies Target Better Clinical Trial Outcomes A number of drug candidates failing in late-stage clinical trials has brought to the fore the importance of computational biology; this will help the global computational biology market reach a valuation of US$2.9 bn by 2018, rising rapidly from its 2011 valuation of US$0.7 bn, says Transparency Market Research. In its report, titled ‘Computational Biology Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2018’, the market intelligence firm also states that the computational biology market will expand at a 21.30% CAGR worldwide. The high CAGR of the market can be attributed to the fact that several big pharma players such as Sanofi, Roche, Novartis, and Pfizer have made investments in computational biology systems for improved clinical outcomes and many other companies are expected to follow suit.

Healthcare IT is one of the most promising fields in the healthcare sector today. One of its core disciplines, computational biology, comprises the application and development of several aspects of healthcare IT, including simulation techniques in computation, mathematical modelling, and the application and development of theoretical methods and data analytical methods. Also known as bioinformatics, computational biology is the scientific pursuit of applying mathematical relations and algorithms between several biological systems. It is the current solution to an ageold problem that biological scientists have been restrained by: Processing data that was previously too large to be processed manually. The global computational biology market is projected to expand vigorously at a CAGR of 21.3% within the forecast period of 2012 to 2018. This market had reached US$0.7 bn in 2011. By the end of 2018, it is expected to reach US$2.9 bn. The answers to the three questions mentioned below shall put the global computational biology market in the proper perspective for anyone seeking opportunities in this market to capitalize. Will Computational Biology Serve a Purpose in Modern Drug Development? Without a doubt, it will hold an important position in the science of drug development in today’s medical world. The global computational biology market has already shown its benefits in the
