Bioinformatics software and tools are being used as integrated solutions that provide algorithms and statistical methodologies for data analysis and help integrate data management and analysis for applications such as next-generation sequencing, genomic and proteomic structuring, modeling, and three-dimensional drug designing. Increasing R&D initiatives in the proteomics and genomics market, including other related ‘-omics’ fields, are further expected to support market growth to meet data storage and analysis demands.

According to an article published by Stanford Medicine in January 2022, research conducted by Stanford scientists showed that a DNA sequencing technique could sequence a human genome in about 8 hours. Such developments can boost demand for genomics and, consequently, the bioinformatics sector. Bioinformatics data storage and analysis applications are capable of storing a large amount of genomic and proteomic information to facilitate research activities in fields ranging from aging and carcinogenesis to preventive therapy for genetic diseases. This factor is also expected to significantly contribute to the growth of this industry over the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the bioinformatics market. Researchers and physicians resorted to bioinformatics to help them comprehend the virus and create diagnostic tests and cures. As a result, the demand for bioinformatics tools and services showed a noticeable surge during this period.
