RNA-based therapeutics is a moderately new class of treatment representing significant potential and growth for the treatment of severe and rare diseases. RNA-based therapeutics are gaining significance for several disease targets, such as genetic disorders, HIV, cancer, etc. The growing prevalence of chronic diseases and lack of proper treatment is generating high demand for the development of RNA-based therapeutics. For instance, according to WHO, cancer ranked number two as a cause of death, and about 9.6 million deaths occurred in 2018. Moreover, the rising prevalence of genetic diseases, hematological disorders are generating the global demand for RNA-based therapeutics. Moreover, advancements and development of promising technologies such as SMaRT technology, antisense technology, and RNAi interference technology are expected to generate immense opportunities for the growth of the market in the coming years.
The strong base on ongoing studies for RNA-based therapeutics and the presence of a large number of players investing in the market is estimated to propel the growth of the market significantly over the estimated timeframe. In July 2018, about 320 ongoing clinical studies for RNA-based therapeutics were registered. The introduction of these potential therapies in the coming years is expected to significantly boost the market's overall growth. However, challenges connected with the commercialization of RNA-based therapies such as drug delivery and toxicity may substantially hamper the market growth. Moreover, the high cost of development may hinder the growth of the market. The lack of substitute treatment selections for rare diseases further enhancing the demand for RNA-based therapeutics globally. Additionally, a growing focus of legislative bodies on evolving reimbursement policies is fueling the development of RNA’s molecules process.
