Global In Silico Clinical Trials Market Size

In Silico Clinical Trials Market Analysis

The Global In Silico Clinical Trials Market size is estimated at USD 3.63 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 5.08 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.89% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The unanticipated spread of COVID-19 significantly influences the in silico clinical trials market. Even though the news article "Why 2020 Saw The Steady Rise Of In Silico Trials", published in January 2021, explains that as COVID-19-related constraints continue to cause chaos in the clinical research environment, big pharma companies are increasingly turning to in silico or virtual clinical trials to help companies continue their product development efforts. Before evaluating their drug prospects in humans, companies can use advanced computational modeling and simulation tools to test them in "virtual patients." Additionally, since the in silico studies are based on computer simulations, they are unaffected by the ongoing COVID-19-related travel and social distancing restrictions that have hampered many traditional trials.

Furthermore, the proper understanding of drug efficacy and safety, the growing prevalence of numerous diseases, and the cost-effectiveness of in silico clinical trials make the in silico market grow. The article "In silico imaging clinical trials: cheaper, faster, better, safer, and more scalable," published in the Trial journal in 2021, reveals the tremendous advantages offered by in silico clinical trials, such as adjustable variability, unlimited samples, no patient risk, and less burden. These advantages, in turn, lead to high demand for in silico clinical trial market.

Furthermore, market players are engaged in marketing tactics such as mergers and acquisitions and product launches. For instance, in July 2021, Kiromic Biopharma, Inc., a pioneer in Immuno oncology cellular therapy for solid tumors, acquired InSilico Solutions. Kiromic will integrate a team of bioinformatics and AI professionals in-house as part of this deal, extending its lead in the race for AI technology that can identify the best biomarkers for cutting-edge immunotherapeutics like CAR-T cell treatment.

Increased understanding of the benefits of in silico clinical trials has led the market to develop exponentially over the ages. The webcast published by the United States Food and Drug Administration under the title "The VICTRE trial: an in-silico replica of a clinical trial for evaluating digital breast tomosynthesis as a replacement for full-field digital mammography" on March 2021 explains the simulated Virtual Imaging Clinical Trial for Regulatory Evaluation (VICTRE trial) compared digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis using computer-simulated imaging of 2,986 in silico patients (an advanced type of mammography that generates three-dimensional images of the breasts using a low-dose x-ray system and computer reconstructions). All breast sizes and lesion types showed an improved lesion detection performance favoring tomosynthesis. The improved tomosynthesis performance was in line with findings from a comparison trial including real patients and radiologists.

As a result of the reasons outlined, the explored market is anticipated to grow throughout the analysis period. However, since human subjects are not involved, the results are based on an approximation that can restrain market growth in silico clinical trials.
