Artificial Intelligence in Genomics Market Size, Share, and COVID-19 Impact Analysis By Offering (Software and Services), By Delivery Mode (On Cloud and Premise), By Technology (Machine Learning and Computer Vision), By Application (Diagnostics, Drug Discovery & Development, and Precision Medicine), and By End-User (Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Companies, Research Institutes, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Artificial intelligence (AI) was developed to perform tasks that would generally require human intelligence. However, the technology currently has opened new growth avenues in the field of healthcare, such as clinical genomics. Through deep learning and machine learning, artificial intelligence is used to process large and complex genomic datasets. Although the use of AI and ML in genomics is in the early stage, the advantages associated such as accurate identification of genetic disorders, identification of the primary kind of cancer through liquid biopsy, and mapping the progress of cancer in individuals is expected to drive the growth of the market.

Furthermore, the adoption of AI solutions in the development of precision medicine, the increasing investment by major companies in the research and development of AI in genomics, and the growing government initiatives are fueling the market growth.

• For instance, in July 2022, CSIR Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology in India partnered with Lenovo in order to accelerate cancer-related research by using Lenovo Genomics Optimization and Scalability Tool (GOAST).

Impact of COVID-19 on Artificial Intelligence in Genomics Market 

The covid-19 pandemic created significant opportunities for AI in genomics for drug discovery, development, and diagnostics. AI in genomics helped in the identification of the SARS-CoV-2 sequence during the pandemic. Furthermore, it also helped in the identification of the variants such as delta strains and omicron. Technologies such as bioinformatics, immune informatics, machine learning, and reverse vaccinology were used in the development of drugs and vaccines used for the treatment of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

As the COVID-19 pandemic became a public health crisis, government regulatory bodies also partnered and collaborated with research institutes for assistance in COVID-19-related research.

The growing number of applications for AI in genomics during the pandemic has provided new growth avenues for the market.

• For instance, in March 2020, Predictive Oncology and Soluble Therapeutics signed an agreement to launch an artificial intelligence platform for the development of vaccines and drug development during the COVID-19 pandem
