Virtual Screening held the largest share in the Drug Designing Tools Market in 2020 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR 13.8% during the forecast period 2021-2026. Virtual screening is used for helping in drug discovery processes and for the identification of novel bioactive compounds by screening large molecular databases. It is a computer-aided method that can save time and costs in the drug development process and it also reduces the failure rate by prioritizing compounds. Structure-based virtual screening uses molecular docking techniques to screen large virtual libraries and the compounds are scored based on the predicted interactions with the target. Virtual Screening is set to be the highest growing segment and is estimated to register the highest CAGR over the period 2021-2026.

Molecular Modelling held the largest share in the Drug Designing Tools Market in 2020 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR 9.9% during the forecast period 2021-2026. Molecular modelling is a theoretical method and computational technique to model the behavior of molecules and their properties into databases. Molecular modelling permeates all aspects of drug designs. Target prediction has a significant role in the drug discovery process that aims to identify the new drug compounds for biological targets and binds to the target molecule by forming temporary bonds. Target Prediction is set to be the highest growing segment and is estimated to register the highest CAGR over the period 2021-2026.

North America dominated Drug Designing Tools Market with a major share of 46.3% in 2020. This is attributed to the increasing research & development in healthcare and advancing technological developments. The rising use of intelligent enterprise techniques for the purpose of drug designing and various biotechnology & pharmaceutical companies use drug discovery tools to limit the use of resources and reduce the time for their drug development processes is increasing the growth of the market in this region. However, Asia Pacific is estimated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period 2021-2026 owing to the growing number of academic institutes which are end-user of drug designing tools along with the huge investments made in drug designing tools and growing awareness regarding the clinical phases.

 

 

The adoption of advanced technologies in drug designing is increasing the growth of the Drug Designing Tools Market. This is attributed to the increasing size of chemical libraries, high-throughput screening, and increase in compounds for optimization. Genome-based therapeutics is a new advancing technology that has the potential to develop and identify the new drug targets to pursue.
