Overview
Global Computational Biology market reached US$ YY million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ YY million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of YY% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
Computational biology is an exciting and quickly expanding field that blends the complexity of biological systems with the power of computers. It analyzes, interprets, and comprehends biological data, from genes and proteins to entire ecosystems, using computational and analytical approaches.
A computational biologist builds models to gain a deeper understanding of biological processes using biological data. uses massive data sets and computational and mathematical techniques to do analysis. It involves the representation and simulation of biological systems as well as the interpretation of experimental data, frequently on a very large scale, through the application of computer techniques.
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Increase in research activities for drug discovery processes
The increase in the research and developmental activities in drug discovery and at the molecular level is expected to drive market growth. The introduction of new databases and new software for drug discoveries and development is expected to drive market growth.
For instance, in October 2023, BioBam introduced OmicsBox 3.1, its latest version packed with innovative features designed to empower researchers, scientists, and bioinformaticians in their pursuit of advanced omics data analysis and interpretation.
Additionally, in January 2024, Uppaluri K&H Personalized Medicine Clinic unveiled GeneConnectRx, the diagnostic wing of the K&H clinic. It is expected that the discovery of a revolutionized step in personalized medicine marks a paradigm shift, empowering healthcare providers to customize treatments based on individual genetic makeup. Thus, the above factors are expected to drive the market growth.
Lack of skilled resources to operate computational tools
Lack of professionals in the field is expected to hamper the market growth. It requires a unique blend of skills in biology, data science, computer science, and statistics to work in computational biology. Thus, finding experts with extreme knowledge can be difficult and is expected to hinder market growth.

Segment Analysis
The global computational biology market is segmented based on the application, tool, service, end user and region.
Cellular & Biological Simulation segment is expected to dominate the market share
Cellular & biological simulation segment is expected to hold the segment in the dominant position. The increase in research and development and the increase in investments and grant funds are expected to drive the segment growth and are expected to hold the segment in the dominant position in the forecast period.
For instance, in November 2022, Turbine Ltd., a U.K.-based cell behavior simulation company declared the closing of a US$ 20 million series financing round.
Additionally, in June 2022, Certara released new versions of its Immunogenicity (IG), Immuno-oncology (IO) and Vaccine Simulators to help predict how drugs work and address key questions in the development of novel biological therapies.

Geographical Analysis
North America is expected to hold a significant position in computational biology market share
North America has been dominant in the computational biology market share and is expected to continue throughout the forecast period. The research and development carried out in the region and also the investments and funding in the field have been holding the region in the dominant position.
For instance, in August 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) declared $4.7 million in funding for five new research projects in computational biology. These projects will develop new software and analytical tools to manage the growing quantities of genomics and other data stemming from the study of microbes and other biological systems.
Additionally, in September 2023, it was stated that the NSF Science and Technology Center for Quantitative Cell Biology would be at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology and supported by a $30 million U.S. National Science Foundation grant. Thus, the above factors are expected to hold the region in the dominant position in the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis
COVID-19 has impacted the market growth. Closures and restrictions on laboratories affected ongoing research initiatives and data collection activities. This slowed down advancement in a number of fields, including the creation of vaccines and new drugs. Funding and resources were redirected to the pandemic response immediately, which would have slowed down research in other computational biology-related fields.
