Which Factor Is Shaping The Future Of The Small Molecule Drug Discovery Market?
The increase in chronic disease prevalence is projected to spur the expansion of the small molecule drug discovery market. Chronic diseases implicate conditions lasting a year or more, impeding daily activities, requiring ongoing medical attention, or both. Chronic ailments such as HIV, cancer, infections, heart disease, and renal disease can be treated with small-molecule drugs, which are typically more affordable for such patients. Consequently, the surge in chronic diseases will likely stimulate the small molecule drug discovery market. For example, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a US-based biomedical research agency, reported that in 2023, the population aged 50 and above with at least one chronic disease is anticipated to escalate by 99.5%, from 71.522 million in 2020 to 142.66 million in 2050 in the U.S. Furthermore, the multimorbid population will see a 91.16% increase from 7.8304 million in 2020 to 14.968 million in 2050. Hence, the escalation in chronic diseases is propelling the small molecule drug discovery market’s growth.
