Global AI Drug Target Discovery Service Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2025-2031

According to this study, the global AI Drug Target Discovery Service market size will reach US$ 14469 million by 2031.

AI Drug Target Discovery Service refers to a method that uses artificial intelligence technology to identify, validate and screen potential drug targets. By analyzing and mining massive biomedical data, this method uses machine learning, deep learning and other algorithms to predict and identify disease-related biomolecules, which can be used as targets for drug development, thereby accelerating the process of new drug discovery and research and development.

Market Opportunities and Key Drivers:

The AI Drug Target Discovery Service is experiencing unprecedented growth opportunities, with the core driving forces stemming from the triple resonance of technological innovation, policy support, and market demand. This growth is attributed to the disruptive impact of AI technology on the efficiency of drug development: traditional target discovery takes 5-7 years, while AI algorithms can shorten the cycle to 1-2 years, reducing the research cost by 40%-60%, and increasing the success rate of preclinical target validation from less than 10% to over 25%. At the policy level, China's "14th Five-Year Plan" has designated AI pharmaceuticals as a key development area, and the US FDA has also launched an "AI Priority" fast-track approval channel to accelerate the entry of AI-discovered targets into clinical trials. At the market demand end, the explosive growth in the treatment needs for chronic diseases and rare diseases has become the core driving force - for instance, AI successfully identified PD-L1's drug resistance mechanism-derived targets (such as LAG-3) in tumor target discovery, promoting the iteration of immunotherapy; in the rare disease field, AI analyzed the data from the 10,000 Genomes Project to identify new targets such as SMN2 enhancer for SMA (spinal muscular atrophy), filling the gaps in traditional research. Additionally, the capital enthusiasm continues to rise: in 2024, the global financing in the AI pharmaceutical field exceeded 12 billion US dollars, with target discovery enterprises accounting for 35% (such as Insilico Medicine, Exscientia, etc.), and pharmaceutical giants such as Eli Lilly and Roche have deeply invested in AI target platforms through cooperation or acquisition, further catalyzing industry expansion.

Challenges and Future Directions:

The AI Drug Target Discovery Service still faces multiple challenges in terms of data, technology, and ethics. The primary data bottleneck is the foremost issue: the fragmentation of biomedical data and privacy barriers lead to a lack of high-quality training data, for example, only 15% of protein interaction data related to target association meet the requirements of AI models, and the anonymization of patient genetic data weakens the accuracy of target prediction. The insufficient technical maturity also restricts application: deep learning models have poor explainability in predicting target mechanisms (the "black box problem"), resulting in 30% of AI predicted targets being unable to be verified through wet experiments; at the same time, the shortage of interdisciplinary talents separates algorithm development from biological validation, prolonging the transformation cycle. The regulatory and ethical risks are equally prominent: there are no unified standards for the intellectual property rights of AI-generated targets in various countries (such as whether AI can be listed as an inventor of a patent), and algorithm biases may ignore the characteristics of specific populations (such as the missing rate of genetic variation data for African Americans reaching 40%), exacerbating medical inequality. The future direction will focus on technology integration and ecosystem reconstruction: on the one hand, multimodal AI models (such as AlphaFold 3 combined with structure prediction and molecular dynamics simulation) can improve the accuracy of target screening, while quantum computing will solve the computational bottleneck of protein folding simulation; on the other hand, federated learning technology can integrate cross-border medical data under privacy protection, building a "global brain" for target discovery. At the industry level, the "AI + CRO" model (such as the collaboration between Wuxi Chemtech and Insilico) will promote the large-scale validation of targets, and blockchain technology may establish new standards for target data traceability and intellectual property rights confirmation. Ultimately, AI target discovery will evolve from a tool to a platform ecosystem, achieving a paradigm shift from "single-target breakthrough" to "disease network targeting" through open collaboration.
