Abstract: This paper aims to identify business opportunities and players in the pharmaceutical sector, especially herbal immunomodulatory developed using bioinformatics technology. The research results using a bibliometric approach show that several countries in Asia, including China, India and South Korea, dominate the ownership of scientific publications and patent documents for herbal immunomodulatory preparations. Apart from that, we see that the business opportunities for developing herbal immunomodulatory, especially using bioinformatics technology, are still wide open. This research shows that the number of publications and patent documents has increased rapidly since the 2020 pandemic. Countries with limited research budgets can utilise bioinformatics technology for faster and more cost-effective drug discovery. Those countries need to increase efforts, especially international cooperation, to address gaps in infrastructure and capacity of researchers and health professionals.
