The computational biology market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of computational biology has experienced significant growth in the recent past. The market is projected to expand from $8.09 billion in 2024 to $9.52 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.6%.
Factors driving this increase during the historical period include the integration of multi-omics, advances in personalized medicine and precision healthcare, the revolution in genomic sequencing, and the management of biological big data.
The computational biology market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The size of the computational biology market is projected to experience dramatic expansion in the upcoming years, reaching a valuation of $22.47 billion in 2029, a result of a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.9%.
The surge in growth during this projected period can be credited to the rise in cloud computing, high-performance computing (HPC), the increasing use of quantitative and predictive biology, interdisciplinary research collaborations, and advancements in both bioinformatics and computational tools. Key trends anticipated during this prediction period encompass advances in bioinformatics and data science, genomic sequencing technologies, the application of machine learning and AI in bioinformatics, advancements in drug discovery and development, and strides in personalized medicine and precision healthcare.
The computational biology market has primarily been propelled by government funding. Worldwide, governments are injecting capital into infrastructure and academia to bolster the capabilities of computational biologics across R&D, educational entities, and additional sectors. This swift escalation of government funding is anticipated to stimulate demand for computational biology solutions, given their broad application in R&D, clinical research, and other progression initiatives. For example, in April 2023, The National Cancer Institute (NCI), an American governmental agency, had a total budget of $6.4 billion, inclusive of $195 million received through the CURES Act. This amounted to a 1.6 percent increase, equivalent to $99.3 million, relative to the prior fiscal year. Thus, government funding is the motor propelling the computational biology market's growth.
