Market Introduction
High-throughput screening (HTS) is a drug discovery process that allows automated testing of large numbers of chemical and/or biological compounds for a specific biological target. High-throughput screening methods are extensively used in the pharmaceutical industry, leveraging robotics and automation to quickly test the biological or biochemical activity of many molecules, usually drugs. They accelerate target analysis, as large-scale compound libraries can quickly be screened in a cost-effective way. HTS is a useful tool for assessing for instance pharmacological targets, pharmacologically profiling agonists and antagonists for receptors (such as GPCRs) and enzymes.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The South and Central America high throughput screening market is expected to reach US$ 1,121.75 million by 2028 from US$ 659.10 million in 2021; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 7.9% from 2021 to 2028. Driving factors such as an increase in investment in research and development by the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry and the introduction of technologically advanced products in the high throughput screening market are driving the growth of the market. However, the lack of proper automation methods is obstructing the growth of the market.
An increase in R&D investments by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and extensive drug pipelines for the treatment of various chronic diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, metabolic disorders, immunological disorders, and neurological disorders are the prominent drivers for the high throughput screening market. Several big and small pharmaceutical companies are engaged in the development and manufacturing of new and novel molecules for various life-threatening conditions. This has led to the adoption of automated high-throughput screening (HTS) techniques to screen huge chemical libraries to meet the needs of ever-increasing drug target molecules. Pharma and biotech companies have substantially invested in high throughput screening techniques in the past decade. High-throughput screening has been regarded as a key technology in the drug discovery process. Large pharmaceutical companies invest up to US$ 35 million annually in screening technologies. The major proportion of these investments goes into the development of new assays. Thus, an increase in investment in research and development by the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry is expected to help boost the market growth. Furthermore, there is an increase in demand for high throughput screening owing to the need for screening the new chemical entities with more efficient and productive optimization of drug molecules. Technological advancements in HTS techniques and the launch of innovative systems by various market players are expected to propel the market growth.
South and Central America have been witnessing a growing number of COVID-19 cases since its outbreak. State-run hospitals and clinics are already overstressed due to the treatment of vector‐borne diseases, community‐acquired infections, and high rates of non‐communicable diseases (NCDs). The consequences of a lack of investment in public healthcare systems are being greatly witnessed during the pandemic. The COVID‐19 pandemic is exacerbating these inequalities by exposing the inadequate infrastructure and capacity of government‐owned healthcare systems. Thus, the factors mentioned above are negatively impacting the growth of the market in the region.
