Regional Analysis:
The Global Drug Discovery Informatics Market has been segmented by region into the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa. On the basis of region, the Americas is expected to hold higher market share over the forecast period pertaining to the presence of market value contributors, burgeoning pharmaceutical and biotechnology vertical, and rising prevalence of chronic diseases in the US and Canada. For instance, as per statistics published by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 610,000 people die due to heart disease in the US every year (one in every four deaths).
Europe would follow the Americas in terms of value in the drug discovery informatics market owing to a surge in the clinical discovery ventures coupled with various activities conducted by research institutes, universities, and centers. The federal government acts as a regulator and also insures some public employees in Germany. Around 16 states in this county maintain public hospitals. The German government also proposes many healthcare programs to make citizens aware of the fatal disease.
Asia-Pacific would represent the fastest market growth during the forecast period owing to growing geriatric population coupled with rising prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing awareness and high adoption of drug discovery informatics, and surging number of clinical trials studies in the region.
