The early stages of research related to drug discovery, including the identification of a relevant biological target and a viable lead compound, play a crucial role in the overall success of a drug candidate in preclinical and clinical studies. It is also worth noting that the process of drug discovery is extremely demanding, both in terms of capital requirements and time. Moreover, there is always a high risk of failure associated with R&D programs and, considering the increasing regulatory stringency, the approval of new drugs has become significantly more difficult.

Given the increase in complexity of the drug discovery process, the overall R&D spending in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology sector has grown from around USD 128 billion in 2008 to USD 158 billion in 2017. As a result, the industry is currently under tremendous pressure not only to meet the expectations of a growing patient population, but also to identify ways to mitigate the risks associated with novel drug discovery programs to avoid failure.

Over the years, various computational tools and services have emerged, enabling the selection, modeling, analysis and optimization of potential lead candidates. The predictive power of computer-aided drug discovery (CADD) has proven to be extremely advantageous, allowing researchers to bypass the random screening of billions of molecules across hundreds of biological targets. As a result, players offering novel in silico drug discovery services, such as CADD, have now become an integral part of the pharmaceutical industry. According to industry experts, almost 30% of the total cost and time invested in developing a new drug can be saved by utilizing such services. Owing to the significant cost benefits offered by such approaches, the adoption of CADD is anticipated to increase in the coming years. Furthermore, the growing number of drug discovery projects, coupled to their rapid progression through various stages of drug discovery, is expected to continue to create an increasing demand for computational services.

The ‘Computer-Aided Drug Discovery Services Market, 2018-2030’ report features an extensive study on the current landscape and the likely future potential of the players providing CADD services for drug discovery. The study provides an in-depth analysis, highlighting the capabilities of a diverse set of companies that offer such services across different stages of drug discovery, such as target identification, target validation, hit generation, hit-to-lead and lead optimization.

Amongst other elements, the report features:
