Molecular Pharming Market Size is valued at USD 1655.3 Mn in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 3516.73 Mn by the year 2034 at a 8.1% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
In a biotechnological program known as "molecular farming," crops are genetically altered to create proteins and chemicals for industrial and pharmaceutical uses. The vast majority of developing nations cannot pay the enormous price of medical treatments brought on by the already-used techniques. Farmers are urged by mounting environmental concerns to reorient their efforts toward sustainable agriculture methods, including resource conservation. This has increased the demand for better crop nutrition and protection, supporting market expansion.
The molecular farming market growth is also anticipated to continue growing due to the rising demand for modern medicines and pharmaceuticals. Increasing environmental concerns are pressuring farmers to refocus their efforts on sustainable agriculture practices, including resource conservation. As a result, there is a tremendous need for improved crop nutrition and protection, which has helped the molecular farming industry to grow.
The molecular pharming market is segmented on the crop type, technology, applications and end users. The market is segmented based on crop type: maize, barley, tobacco, safflower, rice and alfalfa. Based on technology, the molecular pharming market is segmented into gene guns, agroinfiltration, electroporation, agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer and Others. Based on the application, the molecular pharming market is segmented into recombinant antibodies, hormones, vaccines, industrial enzymes, proteins & protein-based materials, technical reagents, and nutritional products. Based on end-use, the molecular pharming market is segmented into biotechnology & pharmaceutical companies, contract manufacturing organizations, and others.
The market's leading segment is gene guns. A gene gun is a tool that is used to transport external (exogenous) DNA, RNA, or proteins to the cells in a way that allows the biological particles to be reproduced or translated using the plant reproduction system and to multiply the necessary biologics without the need of low-cost microbial systems.
The process known as agroinfiltration combines plant biotechnology and agriculture. To mass-create the desired protein, the approach simultaneously stimulates transitory gene expression in a plant, part of a plant, or numerous plants. A microbiological technique called electroporation, also referred to as electro-permeabilization, employs an electric field to make cells more permeable via their membranes. When utilized in plant biotechnology, these cells are preferably plant cells.
Biotechnology & pharmaceutical companies grabbed the highest revenue share, and it is anticipated that they will continue to hold that position during the anticipated time. Strong government support for the market is demonstrated by programs aiming to modernize the regulatory environment, enhance approval procedures and reimbursement practices, and standardize clinical studies. Biotechnological methods are expanding significantly, with examples including genetic engineering, DNA fingerprinting, and stem cell technologies.
The North American molecular pharming market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue shortly. The region's market has a high revenue due to factors including expanding government efforts that boost the implementation of modern agriculture technologies and established infrastructure. Additionally, a robust administrative framework helps farmers acquire the necessary skills for using and maintaining molecular farming equipment.
In addition, Asia Pacific is projected to grow rapidly in the global molecular pharming market. In emerging nations like India, Sri Lanka, and Nigeria, various government programs are being carried out to promote the adoption of cutting-edge molecular farming technologies and consequently increase productivity.
