The major factors driving the bioinformatics market is the need for integrated data, rising demand for drug development and discovery, the increasing focus in genomics & proteomics and the favourable government initiatives. The factor limiting this market is the need for skilled personnel due to the complexity of the bioinformatics tools used. The other limiting factors are the saturation of the pharmaceutical sectors and lack of common data formats. The factors that would provide opportunity for the growth of this market are standardization of databases, need for integration systems and solutions and need to control data overload due to the piling-up of data due to the numerous experiments conducted. The reason to study this market is to understand the current trends and applications in the bioinformatics field along with in depth analysis of the segments.

Bioinformatics Technology and Services Market Analysis

The bioinformatics technology and services market is segmented into knowledge management tools, bioinformatics platforms and bioinformatics services. The Bioinformatics platform market was the highest revenue generating market in 2013. This was due to the increased application usage of the platforms in various genomic applications. However, the Knowledge Management Tools is expected to emerge as the highest revenue generating segment by 2020 due to the increasing number of data generated due to the increasing clinical trials.

Bioinformatics Application Market Analysis

The bioinformatics application market is segmented based on, metabolomics, molecular phylogenetics, transcriptomics, proteomics, chemoinformatics, genomics and others. The Genomics was the highest revenue generating market among the bioinformatics application market in 2013. This was due to the increased applications in drug discovery and development using bioinformatics tools. The tools proved to be cost and time efficient for the pharmaceutical companies. The Chemoinformatics and Drug Design is expected to be the highest revenue generating segment by 2020 due to its ability to use information in the selection and designing of the drug cycle.

Bioinformatics Sector Market Analysis

The bioinformatics sector is segmented into medical bioinformatics, animal bioinformatics, agriculture bioinformatics, academics and others. The Medical bioinformatics was and is forecast to be the highest revenue generating market through 2020. This was due to the increasing application of drug discovery and development using bioinformatics tools, which were also used in the preventive medicine and gene therapy.
