Biosimulation Market

Report Overview

The global biosimulation market was pegged at US$ 2.11 billion in 2020 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 15.5% during the forecast period.

Market Fundamentals

Biosimulation refers to the simulation of biological systems and thereby predicting the system behavior in terms of mathematical expression using modern computers. The results of biosimulation come from understanding clinical outcomes in discovery or development. Biosimulation is used by pharmaceutical companies, regulatory agencies, and academic institutions. Pharmaceutical companies use this tool throughout the drug development process as well as during drug discovery to understand the complexity of human physiology and predict human response to the treatment or therapies. Biosimulation is also used in clinical development to reduce toxicity and potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Biosimulation is a promising tool and has tremendous benefit such as saving both time and money and improving the predictability in early stage of drug development.
