Effect Of Disease Prevalence And R&D On Biotechnology Services Market
The increasing pervasiveness of conditions like hepatitis B, diabetes, and cancer is driving biotechnology research. Biotechnology uses research tools from biology and chemistry to study the genetic material of bacteria and viruses to check the disease-producing agents. Oncology research is most prominent among biopharma companies. Stem cell treatment using a monoclonal antibody for therapy and genome sequencing is progressing in medical applications. According to the Indian Economic Survey 2021, the Indian biotechnology business is predicted to grow to $150 billion by 2025. Therefore, the rising pervasiveness of diseases and huge expenses on R&D are predicted to contribute to the growth of the biotechnology services market.
Chronic Disease Treatment Driving Biotechnology Services Market
The rising demand for clinical solutions for the treatment of chronic diseases is expected to propel the growth of the biotechnology services market going forward. Chronic diseases refer to long-lasting medical conditions that persist over an extended period, typically for three months or more. Biotechnology services provide innovative clinical solutions for the treatment of chronic diseases by developing advanced therapies, precision medicine, and targeted treatments tailored to individual patients, improving the management and outcomes of chronic conditions. For instance, in September 2022, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, each year there are 41 million deaths worldwide, accounting for 74% of all fatalities attributed to chronic diseases. This includes 17.9 million deaths from cardiovascular diseases, 9.3 million from cancer, 4.1 million from chronic respiratory diseases, and 2.0 million from diabetes. Therefore, the rising demand for clinical solutions for the treatment of chronic diseases is driving the growth of the biotechnology services market.

Genetic Data Risk Hinders Biotechnology Services Market Growth
The risk related to genetic data is anticipated to limit the growth of the biotechnology services market. The biotechnological approach of transferring specially created genes for modification in characteristics to create genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has always been considered a threat to human and environmental health. According to the report of the World Conservation Union, there are numerous environmental risks likely to occur due to the use of GMOs, which include interbreeding, antibiotic resistance, impact on the ecosystem, creation of new or worse viruses, competition with natural species, unpredictable and unintended effects, and ethical concerns. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also set guidelines for manufacturers of GMO food. In January 2021, The National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard was implemented in the USA, making it mandatory to label all foods containing genetically engineered items as ‘bioengineered’. Thus, the risk associated with genetically modified items is negatively impacting the growth of the biotechnology services market.
Collaborations And Partnerships In Biotechnology Services Market
Collaborations and partnerships between industry players are a growing trend in the field of biotech services. In January 2021, Novartis, a Switzerland-based pharmaceutical company collaborated with Alnylam, a US-based biopharmaceutical company, for exploration in the application of the latter’s siRNA technology and the development of targeted therapy for the restoration of liver function. As part of the exclusive three-year research collaboration, Alnylam will develop and test potential siRNAs using Novartis' target-specific assays. Novartis will conduct further development and clinical research once a lead candidate has been identified.
Innovative Therapies In The Biotechnology Services Market
Major companies operating in the biotechnology services market are focusing on developing innovative therapies such as biomarker algorithms for first-line treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A biomarker algorithm is a mathematical or computational model that combines data from multiple biomarkers or biological indicators to provide a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of a particular biological or medical condition. For instance, in April 2023, Strata Oncology Inc., a US-based precision oncology company, announced the launch of Strata Select, a first-of-its-kind molecular profiling test for patients with advanced cancer. Strata Select is the first immunotherapy biomarker algorithm to be covered by Medicare across solid tumors meeting specified coverage criteria. The launch empowers oncologists to make better-informed treatment decisions and enhance patient outcomes.
