Computer-aided drug discovery (CADD) is a methodology that uses computational techniques and algorithms to speed up the drug discovery process. It involves leveraging computer software and advanced technologies to identify, design, and optimize potential drug candidates targeting specific biological sites.
The main types of computer-aided drug discovery include structure-based drug design, ligand-based drug design, and sequence-based approaches. Structure-based drug design (SBDD) focuses on designing molecules based on the 3D structure of a biological target, usually a protein, which is obtained through methods such as X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy. These techniques are applied in various therapeutic areas such as oncology, neurology, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, diabetes, and more, and are utilized by pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, and research laboratories.

This computer aided drug discovery market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The computer aided drug discovery market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.94 billion in 2023 to $6.69 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to advancements in computational power, improvements in molecular modeling, rising demand from the pharmaceutical industry, support from regulatory bodies, and increased collaborations.
The computer aided drug discovery market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.83 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to the integration of AI and machine learning into drug discovery processes, a shift toward personalized medicine, increased availability of big data, the development and adoption of cloud-based platforms for CADD, and the creation of novel therapeutics. Major trends during this period include a growing emphasis on collaboration among various stakeholders, the expansion of AI-driven platforms providing end-to-end solutions for drug discovery, and ongoing product innovations.
The increasing prevalence of cancer cases is projected to drive the growth of the computer-aided drug discovery market in the coming years. Cancer encompasses a range of diseases marked by the uncontrolled growth and division of abnormal cells within the body. The rising number of cancer cases can be attributed to various factors, including lifestyle changes, urbanization, environmental pollution, and the consumption of tobacco and alcohol, as well as disparities in healthcare access and awareness. Computer-aided drug discovery can facilitate the design of drugs that target cancer cells with specific genetic mutations, leading to more personalized and effective cancer treatments. For instance, in May 2024, the National Cancer Institute, a US-based agency focused on cancer research and training, reported nearly 20 million new cancer cases and 9.7 million cancer-related deaths in 2022. These figures are expected to rise significantly by 2040, with projections of approximately 29.9 million new cases and 15.3 million deaths each year. Consequently, the growing prevalence of cancer cases is driving the expansion of the computer-aided drug discovery market.
Leading companies in the computer-aided drug discovery (CADD) market are advancing innovative solutions, such as incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into drug discovery, to improve the accuracy, speed, and efficiency of identifying potential drug candidates, optimizing lead compounds, and supporting the development of personalized medicine. AI in drug discovery involves the use of technologies like machine learning and deep learning, which rely on advanced algorithms to accelerate and enhance the precision of discovering and developing new drugs. For example, in December 2023, Merck KGaA, a science and technology company based in Germany, launched AIDDISONTM, a software-as-a-service platform that integrates drug discovery and synthesis. AIDDISONTM combines generative AI, machine learning, and computer-aided drug design to speed up drug development by virtually screening compounds from over 60 billion chemical targets and recommending the best synthesis routes. The platform is built on two decades of pharmaceutical R&D data to identify drug-like candidates with properties such as non-toxicity and stability. By integrating Merck's SynthiaTM retrosynthesis API, AIDDISONTM also optimizes drug manufacturing for greater efficiency and sustainability, with the goal of reducing the time and cost of drug discovery.
In January 2022, Schrodinger Inc., a US-based company specializing in computational tools and software for drug discovery, acquired XTAL BioStructures Inc. for $6 million. This acquisition supports Schrodinger's strategy to advance structure-based drug discovery by integrating its computational platform with experimental structural biology methods. XTAL BioStructures, a US-based biotechnology company, provides structural biology services and reagents to support drug discovery programs.
