The viral vectors and plasmid dna market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In the past few years, the market size for viral vectors and plasmid dna has been expanding rapidly. It is projected to rise from $1.05 billion in 2024 to $1.2 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%.
Factors contributing to growth during the historical period include a rise in cancer cases, heightened awareness about gene therapy, a growing patient population, improved access to healthcare services, and an increased demand for personalized medicine.
The viral vectors and plasmid dna market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for viral vectors and plasmid DNA is predicted to witness substantial growth over the next several years. The market is anticipated to reach $1.66 billion by 2029, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%.
The projected growth within this forecast period can be linked to the emergence of therapeutic applications, response to the COVID-19 pandemic, increased investment, and worldwide expansion. The future trend prognosis shows advancements in the manufacturing technology of viral vector and plasmid DNA, improvements in gene editing, personalized vectors, scalability and efficient production, safe and high-quality standards, non-viral delivery methods, and global collaboration.
The surge in worldwide cancer occurrences is fuelling the market for viral vector and plasmid DNA. Key contributors to most cancers encompass obesity, smoking, alcohol intake and unhealthy dietary habits. For example, the American Cancer Society anticipated in January 2022, that there will be around 1.9 million fresh cancer cases and 609,360 cancer-related deaths in the US, which approximately translates to 1,670 death incidents daily. The four most prevalent cancer types around the globe are lung, prostate, bowel, and breast cancer in women, making up 43 percent of all the newly diagnosed cases. The projected increase in worldwide cancer occurrences is foreseen to escalate the demand for the viral vectors and plasmid DNA market in the forthcoming years.

The prohibitive pricing of gene therapies poses a significant obstacle in the viral vectors and plasmid DNA market. Gene therapy costs can fluctuate between $0.2 million to $2.1 million. For example, Gilead's product, Yescarta, a form of gene therapy, is priced at roughly $0.3 million, while Bluebird Bio's Letiglobin, another gene therapy, is priced at approximately $2.1 million. The high cost can be attributed to factors such as government regulations, manufacturing expenses, among others. Consequently, the exorbitant cost of gene therapies is impeding the growth of the viral vector & plasmid DNA market.
