Many softwares and models are being widely used in drug discovery and development process. Even though pharmaceutical companies have integrated biosimulation technology in their drug discovery and development process it is predominantly used as a decision making tool. Clinical trials of new drugs are being conducted on simulation models to determine the sample size and effective outcome of the drug. Using virtual patients instead of clinical research patients can save both time and money for pharmaceutical companies in their pursuit for new drugs. 

New analysis from MarketsandMarkets estimates Global Biosimulation market to reach $1.2 billion by 2017 at a CAGR of 18.5%. Santosh kumar analyst from MarketsandMarkets says “Biosimulation is expected to grow exponentially in the coming decade, driven by advancements in the field of systems biology and computational biology”. Analyst also quotes, “Pharmaceutical companies have realized the importance of biosimulation over other new technologies, as the future of R&D process would be based more on translational research than the conventional research”.
North America is the major market for biosimulation and has been driving the global market significantly. Since most of the existing drugs are going off patents, search for new cost-effective drugs is expected to bolster the growth of biosimulation in these regions. Europe is the second major market for biosimulation products mainly driven by support of government regulatory bodies which is promoting the use of biosimulation in drug discovery and development process. 

Emerging economies in Asia for example China and India are witnessing tremendous increase in the number of pharmaceutical companies and CRO’s. Due to these developments, biosimulation market in these economies expected to grow moderately in the next few years. 

Biosimulation Technology Market is highly competitive with many companies trying to capture market share with their niche capabilities, offering products and services to pharmaceutical companies. Use of biosimulation by pharmaceutical companies has been largely restricted to drug development which contributes to more than 60% revenue to the global biosimulation market. The main challenge to effective use of biosimulation is it has not been regulated. In addition to that lack of success stories has restricted the pharmaceutical companies to use the technology effectively. Several pharmaceutical companies have established their own biosimulation groups which have not been effectively utilized. Also, the current research landscape for biosimulation based drug discovery is fraught with other challenges. For e.g., companies employ scientists all over the world for their research work and coordination among these scientists for better modelling and simulations requires time, cost and expertise. Therefore, it is necessary that pharmaceutical firms come forward to collaborate with biosimulation solution providers to create successful models which will aid in new drug discovery and development.

Neurointerventional procedures refer to special kind of endovascular procedure within the vessels of the brain or within the spinal cavity, utilizing minimally invasive techniques, imaging guidance, and special microcatheters (thin tubes), guide wires, and small instruments to treat stroke and other neurological disorders. Neurointerventional procedures can be performed through different techniques such as neurothrombectomy procedure, cerebral angiography and stenting technique, and coiling procedure. These techniques are almost mutually exclusive and applied for definite clinical symptoms of neurological disorders.
The neurointerventional device market encompasses neurothrombectomy devices (suction/aspiration device, clot retriever, and snare device), cerebral angiography and stenting system (carotid stent, and embolic protection system), aneurysm coiling devices (platinum coil, liquid embolic agents, and flow diversion device) and support devices (microcatheter, and microguidewire).  

Gradual technological evolution, growing ageing and obese population, rising patient pool for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and increasing demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures are the major drivers that are slated to propel this market. Growing GDP and healthcare allocation are making developing countries in Asia and Latin America affordable to adapt novel medical practices for obtaining better treatment outcome. Upcoming clinical trial data is favoring the interventional procedure over neurosurgery as it offers limited hospital stays, minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissues, lesser chances of infection in post-surgical phase, minimum surgical trauma and lesser surgical scar.
