The viral and non-viral vector manufacturing market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•The market size for viral and non-viral vector manufacturing has expanded drastically in the past couple of years. It is projected to increase from $8.67 billion in 2024 to $10.3 billion in 2025, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.8%.
The considerable growth observed in the historical period can be related to the escalating occurrence of genetic diseases, advancements in the field of biotechnology, a surge in gene therapy research investments, a wider recognition of personalized medicine, and the regulatory bodies' aid for the development of gene therapy.
The viral and non-viral vector manufacturing market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for manufacturing of viral and non-viral vectors is poised to witness a massive surge over the coming years, expanding to a value of $22.06 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate of 21.0%.
This predicted growth can be accredited to several factors, which includes the escalating demand for gene therapies, the widening application in the treatment of rare diseases, a surge in investments in biomanufacturing infrastructure, and the increasing embrace of precision medicine. Significant trends forecasted during this period involve the innovation of next-generation viral vectors, the escalating utilization of CRISPR or cas9 technology in vector manufacturing, emphasis on scalability and economical manufacturing procedures, growing use of non-viral vectors, and progress in cell and gene therapy manufacturing technologies.
The rising occurrence of genetic anomalies is projected to fuel the expansion of the viral and non-viral vector manufacturing markets. Genetic anomalies represent conditions that are wholly or partly induced by variations from the standard DNA sequence. Viral vectors administer remedial genes to specific cells, superseding or amplifying faulty genes responsible for genetic diseases. Typically, non-viral vectors are deployed in ex vivo gene therapy procedures where cells are genetically altered outside the body prior to reinfusion into a patient. To illustrate, as per records by the International Diabetes Federation, a Belgium-based diabetes federation in June 2022, the global occurrence of diabetes had climbed to 10.5%, with more than half (44.7%) remaining undiagnosed and nearly 783 million adults, or one-eighth of the population, anticipated to be afflicted by 2045. Consequently, the escalating prevalence of genetic disorders stimulates the progression of the viral and non-viral vector production market.
