Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) Market Analysis

A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) is a computational or mathematical modeling approach to reveal connections between biological activities and chemical compounds' structural properties. It attempts to correlate chemical structure with an activity using statistical approaches. The QSAR models are beneficial for various purposes, including the prediction of actions of untested chemicals. In addition, it helps to prioritize desired biological activities as an in silico methodology and thus decreases the number of candidate chemicals to be tested with in vivo experiments. Key factors that are driving growth of the market are increasing adoption of modeling tools in drug discovery and increasing economic burden of drug discovery. However, less adoption rate of the technique in emerging countries hinders the growth of the market.

Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship ( Overview

North America is the largest market for the quantitative structure-activity relationship (, with the US holding the largest market share, followed by Canada. This can be attributed to growing numbers of research and development activities, increasing numbers of startups, and rising investments for development of novel and innovative drug candidates targeting rare and incurable diseases and others. The demand for the market in the region is anticipated to witness growth at a significant rate during the forecast period owing to other factors such as government investment in healthcare infrastructure, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, and growing adoption of big data & health IT tools.
