Drug Discovery Technologies Market and COVID-19 Impact Assessment Report 2021

Dublin, April 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Drug Discovery Technologies" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The drug discovery industry witnessed growth in the past several years owing to progress in biochemical, translational and molecular studies in biomedical research. These technologies are commercially employed in the development of new and efficient drug candidates. The booming healthcare sector and increased government funding have aided notable growth in this market. The delineation of mechanistic details and the underlying mechanisms of drug-target interaction have paved the way for more accurate and effective therapies.

The growing field of drug discovery and development is enabling researchers to focus on discovering essential lead compounds for different forms of cancer and other diseases. Biopharmaceutical companies and various research institutes are conducting research in the field of drug discovery technologies. Globally, research institutes and biopharmaceutical companies are exploring several molecular and biochemical aspects to develop mechanistic approaches for drug discovery. Various technologies, such as high-throughput screening, proteomics and genomics, including quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), next-generation sequencing (NGS) and many others, are being widely used for cellular analysis.

A rise in R&D, increasing incidences of various life-threatening diseases, and the increasing global population are all market drivers. The companies in this industry are focusing on enhancing biomedical research and the advancement of superior technologies in order to provide better quality treatments and therapies.

Collaborative efforts of researchers and the pharmaceutical industry are establishing various promising future drug candidates. Drug discoveries find applications in cardiovascular, neurological, cancer and other disease areas. However, the rapid spread of COVID-19 has thrown countless businesses into a frenzy. The healthcare industry, in particular, is facing growing pressure to rapidly-produce tests needed in nearly every region around the world.

The virus has created unprecedented challenges for the healthcare industry. COVID-19 has put the healthcare industry at center stage with the remarkable demand for diagnostic tests, personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilators and other critical medical supplies. Moreover, for the unusual measures underway to rapidly ramp up manufacturing capacity and capabilities, healthcare leaders are also looking outside their normal sector boundaries to explore creative solutions to supplement further capacity, like partnerships with companies outside the sector, open-source equipment design and deployment of medically trained employees to support public-health needs.
