Some of the major drivers which help in increasing demand for bioinformatics are growing applications of bioinformatics in drug discovery and development, growing information technology applications in bioinformatics and rising need for integrated bioinformatics systems in proteomics and genomics. Increasing bioinformatics support in the development of personalized medicines and clinical diagnostics also supports the growth of the bioinformatics market. However, lack of skilled and trained professionals and lack of interoperability among data formats are restraining the growth of the bioinformatics market. Rising number of merger and acquisition and new product innovation are some of the latest trends in the bioinformatics market.
