According to the Foreclaro Global Research, the Global Drug Discovery Services Market size was valued at USD 24.6 billion in 2025. The report “Global Drug Discovery Services Market Segmentation By Drug Type (Small Molecules, Biologics), By Type (DMPK, Biology Services, Medicinal Chemistry), By Therapeutic Area (Oncology, Cardiovascular Diseases, Diabetes, Neurology, Respiratory Diseases, Others)- Industry Trends and Forecast to 2033” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

 

The global drug discovery services market is witnessing rapid growth as pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies increasingly outsource early-stage research to accelerate drug development, reduce costs, and optimize resource allocation. Drug discovery services encompass target identification, high-throughput screening, hit-to-lead and lead optimization, and preclinical research, leveraging advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, bioinformatics, and cheminformatics. The market is driven by rising prevalence of chronic, infectious, and rare diseases, increasing demand for novel therapeutics, and growing investments in R&D by both private and public sectors. Contract research organizations (CROs) are expanding capabilities to offer end-to-end and hybrid drug discovery solutions, enabling faster timelines and improved efficiency. North America leads the market due to the presence of major biopharma companies, advanced research infrastructure, and technological adoption, while Asia-Pacific is emerging as a high-growth region supported by cost-effective research facilities, skilled talent, and increasing outsourcing trends. Overall, innovation, collaborations, and technology integration are expected to sustain long-term market growth.
