The rise of personalized medicine is expected to propel the growth of the molecular modeling market going forward. Personalized medicine is a medical approach that tailors healthcare decisions and treatments to individual patients based on their unique genetic, molecular, and clinical characteristics. Molecular modeling is used in personalized medicine to predict individual patient responses to treatments, design tailored drug therapies, and optimize treatment regimens based on patients' molecular profiles. For instance, in February 2024, according to the Personalized Medicine Coalition, a US-based hospital and health care organization, in 2023, the FDA approved 16 new personalized treatments for rare disease patients, up from six in 2022. Therefore, the rise of personalized medicine is driving the growth of the molecular modeling industry.
