Transforming Drug Discovery with AI

Drug discovery has traditionally taken 10–15 years and cost billions of dollars to bring a single medicine to market. AI is changing that by enabling faster drug target identification, drug repurposing, and screening processes. According to Deloitte, AI adoption could save the pharmaceutical industry more than USD 70 billion annually by 2030.

The largest share of the market will come from oncology drug discovery, fueled by rising cancer cases and demand for personalized medicine. Meanwhile, neurology drug discovery is set to grow the fastest, thanks to advanced AI algorithms and increased funding for brain-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Key Market Drivers
Several factors are fueling this surge:
AI integration in pharma R&D: Pharmaceutical companies are increasing digital investments by about 15% year-over-year. AI-driven platforms can cut drug development costs by up to 30%.
Regulatory support: The U.S. FDA’s AI/ML-Based Software as a Medical Device Action Plan is helping streamline approvals for AI tools in drug discovery. The EU Horizon Europe program has also allocated €1.5 billion for AI research.
Public and private funding: Global funding for AI in healthcare is growing, accelerating collaborations between tech firms and pharmaceutical companies.
Product innovation: In 2024, Insilico Medicine launched a new AI-powered drug discovery platform that cut target identification time by 50%, already adopted by leading pharma firms.
