Market Overview:
Viral vector is a tool for delivering genetic material into cells. The modified viral vector is used as the viral vector in gene therapy. Plasmid DNA is a bacterial smaller, circular and extrachromosomal DNA used in the different molecular genetic research such as gene therapy, gene transfer and recombinant DNA technology due to its self-replication property. A gene of interest is transferred into the target cell for studying the function or expression of a gene.
Market Size Growth Rate:
According to the research report published by the DataM Intelligence, the North America viral vector and plasmid DNA manufacturing market size was valued at USD XX billion in 2021, it is projected to reach at USD XX billion by 2029, with growth at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period 2022-2029.
There is an increasing number of clinical studies conducted on viral vector manufacturing, emphasizing the potential of gene therapy to address important medical needs. Major pharmaceutical companies such as AstraZeneca, and Janssen Pharmaceuticals have developed COVID-19 viral vector-based vaccine in December 2020 and February 2021, respectively. Apart from these companies, several viral vector-based vaccines are currently in the development phase. This has accelerated the demand for viral vectors, thereby increasing revenue for viral vector manufacturers.
Market Drivers:
The market is driven by the increasing demand for the viral vectors and plasmid DNA manufacturing for developing the DNA vaccines, gene therapy, immunotherapy, and others. There is growing usage of the viral vectors & plasmid DNA due to their advantages such as high transfection efficiency, effective gene delivery, and stable gene expression. There is rise in the number of the clinical studies for examining the efficacy and safety of the viral vectors. In addition, increase in the launch of the contract manufacturing business for viral vectors and plasmid DNA manufacturing. For instance, in December 2019, Helixmith Co., Ltd. and Genopis launched the contract manufacturing business for plasmid DNA production.
Market Restraints:
However, some of the limitation of gene therapy are likely to hamper the market growth. In addition, risk associated with viral vector, complex and expensive manufacturing processes, and regulatory challenges are some of the restraints to the market growth.
Market Opportunities
The success of any viral-vector manufacturing market depends on its ability to get past multiple lines of defense deployed by the human immune system. Viral capsids, viral-vector DNA, and even the transgene products themselves may be recognized as foreign, providing multiple opportunities for the immune system to clear the gene therapy from the body. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and the R&D for vaccines have created serval opportunities for the market.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has underlined the importance of vaccine development for the global population. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 151 vaccine candidates have been subjected to preclinical studies and 42 vaccines have reached clinical trials. Viral vectors have played a central role especially using adenovirus-based vectors. Additionally, other viral vectors based on vaccinia viruses, measles viruses, rhabdoviruses, influenza viruses and lentiviruses have been subjected to vaccine development. Increasing research involving viral vectors is expected to continue at least for the next one or two years. This is expected to boost market growth.
Recent Developments in the Industry:
- In December 2020, CHA Biotech signed a lease agreement with Matica Bio to construct a viral vector production facility in College Station, Texas.
- In April 2020, Merck boosts commercial viral vector and gene therapy manufacturing capacity, with a second Carlsbad, California, USA-based facility for its BioReliance viral and gene therapy service offering.
- in May 2020, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. expanded its capacity for viral vector development and manufacturing services with the construction of a new commercial manufacturing site in Plainville, Mass.
- In October 2019, SIRION Biotech expanded into the U.S. viral vector market by opening a new office in Massachusetts.
Market Segmentation:
As per the research analysis, the viral vector and plasmid DNA manufacturing market is segmented by type into retroviral vectors, adenoviral vectors, lentiviral vectors, adeno-associated viral vectors, others. Based on disease, the market is segmented into cancer, genetic disorder, infectious disease, other diseases. Further, by application, it is further divided into gene therapy, vaccinology and by end user, it segmented into pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies, and research institutes.
- By type of vectors, adenoviral vectors segment is estimated to account for a share of around 29% of the viral vector manufacturing market by 2020. Adenoviral vectors are the most commonly employed vector for cancer gene therapy. They are also used for gene therapy and as vaccines to express foreign antigens.
- Based on type of diseases, the cancer segment accounted for the largest market share, owing to the high prevalence of cancer and increased acceptance of gene therapy for the treatment of cancer. Gene therapy involves the transfer of genetic information to a target cell to facilitate the production of therapeutic proteins and is now a realistic prospect as a cancer treatment. Multiple gene therapy strategies have been developed to treat a wide variety of cancers, including gene therapy with suicide genes, oncolytic viruses, anti-angiogenic genes and therapeutic gene vaccines..
Geographical Classification:
The North America viral vector and plasmid DNA manufacturing market is segmented into major countries including US, Canada, and Mexico.
US Viral Vector And Plasmid DNA Manufacturing Market:
In North America region, the United states holds the dominant share of about 71% in 2020, followed by Canada. The United States is the most lucrative market for viral vector and plasmid DNA manufacturing. The growth in the region is due to presence of several biopharmaceutical manufacturers in the U.S., coupled with advanced funding and public awareness. The Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (ARM), a U.S.-based non-profit organization in the field of gene therapy, reported a 164% increase in funding for gene and gene-modified cell therapy in 2017 over 2016 and a global investment of USD 4.5 billion in 2017. In November 2018, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched a new initiative to accelerate the adoption of gene therapy to cure around 20 million patients diagnosed with sickle cell disease.
Competitive Analysis:
Companies involved in the development of vector agent-based products often seek support from contract service providers for the launch of the clinical-grade products. This is primarily because of the complexity and limited availability of technologies and platforms used for vector designing, production, packaging, and release testing. The major players are entering into collaborations, acquisitions, mergers, and licensing activities for increasing their market presence. For instance, in January 2021, Thermo Fisher Scientific has acquired the viral-vector manufacturing business of the French pharmaceutical services firm Novasep for approximately $875 million.
