This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Opportunities for Bioinformatics in European Drug Discovery Market provides a detailed analysis of the key factors driving growth in the European bioinformatics industry in the drug discovery market. The study also covers the basic aspects of bioinformatics including the segmentation pattern and the challenges faced by market participants. In this research, Frost & Sullivan’s expert analysts thoroughly examine the following applications: proteomic applications, genomic applications and bioinformatics manipulation systems.

Market Overview

Growing Demand for Advanced Data Handling Tools Promotes Need for Bioinformatics in the European Drug Discovery Market

The European bioinformatics industry is competing in a growing market, dominated by a few large vendors. Bioinformatics has varied applications in the drug discovery market, including proteomic, genomic and information manipulation applications. Most of the life sciences organisations involved in the process of drug discovery adopt bioinformatics in varying degrees in their routine process.

The growth rates in the bioinformatics market are modest, yet steady. The large amount of data generated in the process of drug discovery is creating increasing demand for improved data handling tools. "It is impossible for professionals to handle and analyse the data without the use of advanced computational tools," notes the analyst of this research service. "Here, bioinformatics has been able to constantly develop new tools that are capable of handling high-end voluminous data, thereby facilitating the work of life sciences professionals." Moreover, given the reducing drug pipelines in the European pharmaceuticals industry, companies are looking for tools to increase drug research productivity. This demand from pharmaceuticals and life science companies is another factor influencing the bioinformatics market favourably.

Emphasis on Continuous Training and Support for Life Science Professionals Essential

A key factor restraining market growth is the resistance of European companies in adopting new technologies. "Undoubtedly, bioinformatics offers the best forms of application to life sciences companies for the simplification of the drug discovery process," remarks the analyst. "However, the conservative attitude of European companies toward the adoption of new technologies is a well-known fact." In addition to this, as various companies use different data formats, proprietary and incompatible data formats limit the value of bioinformatics.

Yet another challenge that exists in the market is that the tools presently used in the European bioinformatics industry mostly serve specialised end users. As these tools require a technical skill set, researches who are directly involved in the R&D process do not get to use the bioinformatics tools. As a result, all professionals who utilise the tools will need to be periodically trained in the functioning of the tools to enable them to take full advantage of the functionality. Thus, continuous training and support for life science professionals will help drive market growth. Market participants should also look to acquire or form alliances with companies that can help them broaden their product portfolio, rather than increase their market share. By expanding their product portfolio, smaller companies can hope to actively compete with the larger multi-modality vendors.
