The Nucleic Acid Therapeutics CDMO Market Size is valued at USD 2,272.7 Million in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 5,293.4 Billion by the year 2031 at an 11.4 % CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
- A robust pipeline of nucleic acid-based drugs and high levels of investment from pharmaceutical companies and venture capitalists are boosting the market.
- The development of novel nucleic acid-based therapies, such as RNA interference (RNAi), antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), messenger RNA (mRNA) therapies, and CRISPR-based gene editing, is driving demand for specialized manufacturing services.
- North America dominated the market and accounted for a global revenue share in 2023.
- Scaling up production of nucleic acid therapeutics to meet commercial demand while maintaining quality and cost-effectiveness is a significant challenge.
Nucleic acids are now recognized as the third most crucial platform for drug discovery, following small molecules and antibodies. Through gene inhibition, addition, replacement, or modification, nucleic acid therapeutics implement synthetic oligonucleotides to achieve curative or enduring effects.The science of nucleic acid therapeutics provides promise for treating disorders that cannot be managed with the drugs that are now available.
Nucleic acid therapeutics deal with nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) or other related chemical compounds. The nucleic acid therapeutics CDMO market is estimated to show high growth over the next few years, driven by the high application potential of nucleic acids for a variety of medical conditions. In addition, the increasing preference for personalized medicine also propels the market growth. Furthermore, continued research and development activities for manufacturing innovative nucleic acid therapeutics are forcing pharmaceutical companies to expand their businesses. Most companies focus on partnerships, acquisitions, collaborations, and mergers with contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) to seamlessly scale oligonucleotides from research to commercial manufacturing. Therefore, scaling up the products cost-effectively and efficiently from research to commercial quantities is a key challenge to CDMOs.
Other driving factors of the nucleic acid therapeutics CDMO market include the growing demand for nucleic acid therapeutics and the high prevalence of chronic and genetic diseases. Furthermore, advancements in nucleic acid technologies, a rise in R&D investments, increasing FDA approvals of nucleic acid therapeutics, and growing CDMO partnerships and acquisitions are expected to escalate the nucleic acid therapeutics CDMO market growth over the forecast years. However, mass production at low cost, lack of expertise in developing nucleic acid therapeutics, and supply chain challenges are anticipated to hinder the industry growth.
