AI in Computer Aided Synthesis Planning Market Outlook:
AI in Computer Aided Synthesis Planning Market size was valued at USD 3.1 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 82.2 billion by the end of 2035, rising at a CAGR of 38.8% during the forecast period, i.e., 2026-2035. In 2026, the industry size of AI in computer aided synthesis planning is estimated at USD 4.3 billion.
The AI in computer aided synthesis planning sector is slated to experience explosive growth due to the surge in the adoption of deep learning algorithms and retrosynthesis automation across notable domains such as chemical and pharmaceuticals. According to the American Planning Association report in September 2022, the adoption of AI in planning disciplines, which also include chemical process design is poised to grow over 20% in the upcoming years. This rise reflects on the broader shift toward data-driven decision-making in R&D environments. Further, the growth reduces the human error and surges the time to market of the new compound.
Industrial deployment is being shaped by policy frameworks that promotes the adoption of advanced digital technologies. The European Medicines Agency has undertaken a qualification process for new methodologies, creating a route for regulatory approval of innovative tools, such as AI-based techniques for drug discovery. The technological innovation and the increased demand for synthesis procedures have led CASP to become a critical tool for businesses. The market demand for CASP with AI is expected to continue steadily during the forecast period.
