(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Key opportunities in the DNA encoded library market include demand for streamlined drug discovery, with a focus on cancer treatments, driven by pharma/biopharma sectors. Growth is expected in Asia-Pacific, supported by increasing licensing and partnerships, expansion of service offerings, and investment influx.

Dublin, Dec. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "DNA Encoded Library Market Industry Trends and Global Forecasts to 2035, by Application Area, Therapeutic Area, End-Users, Payment Model and Key Geographical Regions" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.

The global DNA encoded library market is estimated to grow from USD 0.8 billion in 2025, to USD 5 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 16.04% during the forecast period, till 2035.

Drug discovery and development is a complex and tedious process requiring a significant amount of time and resources. In fact, on average, the entire drug development process, from the demonstration of proof-of -concept to commercial launch, takes around 10-15 years and requires huge capital investments (USD 4-10 billion). In addition, technological advancements in key disciplines, such as molecular biology and the emergence of new-generation biologics, has made the process even more complicated.

In order to optimize resources and efforts, drug developers are gradually shifting their focus towards the use of novel discovery techniques, which include screening combinatorial chemistry based large collections of compounds. In the recent past, DNA-encoded library technology has captured the attention of drug developers among all the screening techniques. This can be primarily attributed to its various advantages, including rapid and effective screening of a large number of compounds, low investment and less requirement of storage space, and streamlined drug discovery process.

Moreover, the growing demand for advanced therapies to treat complex diseases, such as neurological disorders and oncological disorders, has resulted in a significant rise in the development of DNA-encoded libraries. Additionally, the rising adoption of DNA encoded chemical library by pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic institutions and contract research organizations has further propelled the market growth of this industry.
