Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are anticipated to transform every industry. In drug discovery and development, time and costs required are key challenges to sustain the drug development pipeline. The development of oncology therapeutics is estimated to cost over US$ 2.6 billion to the manufacturer and take over a decade. These soaring costs are mostly a result of money invested in the 90% of candidate therapies that fail to enter the late stages of drug development, i.e., between phase 1 trials and regulatory approval. AI is projected to be the foundation for rapid, cheap, and efficient drug discovery and development. The integration of AI technology in cancer care could improve the accuracy and speed of diagnosis, aid in improved clinical decision-making, and lead to better health outcomes. AI-guided clinical care can play an important role in reducing health disparities, particularly in low-resource settings. Notably, the application areas of AI are expanding to include new approaches for cancer detection, screening, diagnosis and classification; cancer genomics characterization; tumor microenvironment analysis; and predictive and prognostic biomarkers assessment. AI can enhance many processes that are directly and indirectly related to the drug discovery and development. It can be used for improved tumor classification, computer-aided organic synthesis, compound discovery, assay development, and biomarker and target discovery. In general, AI aims to automate and optimize slow processes to substantially speed up the R&D drug discovery process. Several pharmaceutical, biotech, and software companies are making efforts to integrate AI into drug discovery and development. In 2016, Pfizer partnered with IBM Watson Health, an AI platform provider, to enhance its search for immuno-oncology treatments. Sanofi joined forces with Exscientia, the spin-out of Dundee University, to discover metabolic-disease therapies. Thus, the increased use of AI in drug development and delivery would create significant opportunities for the growth of the metastatic cancer drug market during the forecast period.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the metastatic cancer drugs market growth in the coming years. The market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
