Drug Discovery Informatics Market Projected to Reach $7.74 Billion by 2030 as AI Agents Need ...

A report cited by MarketsandMarkets projects the global artificial intelligence in drug discovery market will grow from $5.09 billion in 2026 to $17.56 billion by 2031, a 28.1% compound annual growth rate. The market expansion is tied to spending moving from early pilots into real discovery workflows, where companies are building a “layer” between organizational data and AI agents. This layer is described as an ontology, semantic layer, or context layer. A separate forecast from Research and Markets estimates the drug discovery informatics segment at $4.06 billion in 2025, rising to $7.74 billion by 2030 with a 13.7% CAGR. Both projections point toward software that can organize scientific data enough for machines to reason over it.
