Small Molecule Drug Discovery Market, By Therapeutic Area (Oncology, Central Nervous System, Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Metabolic Disorders, Gastrointestinal, and Other Therapeutic Areas), By Process/Phase (Target ID/Validation, Hit Generation and Selection, Lead Identification, and Lead Optimization), and By Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and Middle East and Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2028
Small molecule drugs have represented some of the crucial blockbusters in the history of the pharmaceutical industry. Defined as any organic compound with low molecular weight, small molecule drugs have some distinct advantages as therapeutics. Small molecule drugs capable of modulating biochemical processes to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases. Small molecule drugs are the mainstay of medicine, representing around 90 percent of all approved medicines and 75 percent of all new medicines approved in the U.S. in 2020.
Market Dynamics:
High prevalence of chronic diseases, increase in demand for small molecule drugs, rise in focus on small molecule drug discovery, increasing number of contract organizations, and increase in research and development activities are some major factors expected to augment the growth of the global small molecule drug discovery market.
In July 2022, RxCelerate revealed details of a new small molecule discovery platform, named RxNfinity, which leverages machine learning, in silico structure modeling and combinatorial chemistry in a novel workflow that offers significant advantages over the current generation of tools to identify small molecule drugs against a wide range of protein targets.
In July 2022, Dotmatics announced the release of its Small Molecule Drug Discovery Solution, an integrated scientific research and development platform with pre-configured workflows and expanded data management capabilities. The new solution will help companies innovate more easily by leveraging best practices derived from Dotmatics’ 15+ years of experience supporting small molecule drug discovery.
