Market Overview:
Plasmid DNA is an extrachromosomal DNA molecule that is separate from the chromosomal DNA in a cell. Plasmid DNA can replicate independently and have origins of replication on their DNA that allows them to replicate separately from the genomic DNA. Plasmid DNA is widely used in genetic engineering processes and is used in medications for gene therapy.
The Plasmid DNA manufacturing market is estimated to be valued at US$ 901.2 Bn or Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 35% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Plasmid DNA manufacturing key trends include increasing investment and funding for cell and gene therapy development. Advancements in process development and scaling-up plasmid DNA manufacturing operations are also driving market growth. Commercial applications of plasmid DNA are increasing in areas like vaccines, cancer immunotherapy and regenerative medicines. Newer technologies using continuous manufacturing platforms are enabling more efficient plasmid DNA production. Growing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to increase demand for plasmid DNA engineered therapeutics, supporting market expansion through 2030.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: Plasmid DNA has wide applications in areas like gene therapy, DNA vaccination and genetic engineering which is driving the market growth. It is cost effective compared to alternative DNA production methods.
Weakness: Regulations around genetic engineering and cell and gene therapy can hamper the market growth. Production of high-quality and high-volume plasmids require advanced technologies which increases production costs.
