Oligonucleotide Synthesis Market Outlook, 2030
The global oligonucleotide synthesis market size was valued at USD 5.198 Billion in 2020, and is projected to reach USD 26.09 Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 17.10% from 2021 to 2030. Rise in government support for synthetic biology and genome projects and robust research is a major factor that drives the growth of the oligonucleotide synthesis market. In addition, R&D expenditure in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to produce oligonucleotide products with increased therapeutic potential and less side effects further fuels the growth of the market.
Oligonucleotide synthesis is the chemical synthesis of relatively short fragments of nucleic acids with defined chemical structure (sequence). The technique is extremely useful in current laboratory practice because it provides a rapid and inexpensive access to custom-made oligonucleotides of the desired sequence. It is also useful for carrying out the molecular diagnosis in several diseases, including detection of infectious diseases, such as hepatitis, SARS-COV2 as well as for diagnosis of cancer.
Market Dynamics
Growing applications of synthesized oligonucleotides in molecular diagnostics & clinical applications as well as rise in demand for high end customized oligos and upgradation in purification of synthetic oligonucleotide also boost the growth of the oligonucleotide synthesis market. On the contrary, the market for oligonucleotide synthesis may be hindered by the complexities associated with therapeutic oligos and challenging delivery of oligonucleotide drugs to specific targets. However, growth opportunities in emerging economies and rise in focus on personalized medicine are anticipated to create lucrative opportunity to the market.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted workflows in the healthcare sector across the world. The disease has forced a number of industries to shut their doors temporarily, including several sub-domains of healthcare. However, there has also been a positive effect and surge in demand for various medical services, including oligonucleotide products. Oligo products are required for developing test kits, treatments, and vaccines that target the infection caused by the novel Coronavirus. Moreover, with the increase in cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the urgency for a potential treatment, new generations of oligonucleotide drugs, including mRNA and DNA vaccines, are currently under development. For instance, in June 2020, Bio-Synthesis Inc. (US) delivered ready-to-use cocktail mixes such as the SARS-CoV-2 N1 Oligo Mix, the SARS-CoV-2 N2 Oligo Mix, and the Human RNase P (RP) Oligo Mix for COVID-19 research. Furthermore, in April 2020, TriLink BioTechnologies (a part of Maravai Lifesciences) (US) entered into a partnership with Imperial College London (UK) for the manufacturing of self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) for COVID-19 vaccine development. Moreover, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Biolegio B.V. (Netherlands) rapidly scaled up production capabilities to deliver primers and probes for RT-qPCR testing of the Coronavirus and have been supplying laboratories and customers sufficient primer and probe sets to perform millions of tests.
