The global drug discovery market size is anticipated to register a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the rapid expansion of drugs discovery experiments along with the emerging technology that can help proceeding to become more specific and little time consuming drug manufacturing process.
Drug discovery is the type of process of drug manufacturing, which involves applying new capable therapeutic operation using a combination of investigational, mathematical, and scientific methods. Designing drugs is an innovative method of discovering brand new medications based on the knowledge of biological target. Current drug discovery incudes the medicinal chemistry, recognition of screening hits, and development of those hits to increase the selectivity, adequacy, metabolic strength, and oral bioavailability.
Due to COVID-19 pandemic, several health organizations across countries are promptly investing in research and development programs to develop targeted drugs that can effectively fight the virus. As the number of the COVID-19 cases increased rapidly, there was surge in demand for drugs that can curb the spread of the virus. This led to the significant development of the market.
