Global mRNA Synthesis Raw Materials Market Size is valued at USD 1.8 Bn in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 3.4 Bn by the year 2034 at a 6.6% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
The mRNA synthesis raw material market revolves around the essential ingredients needed to produce messenger RNA (mRNA). Significant raw materials include nucleotides (the building blocks), enzymes (which help construct the mRNA), capping agents (that protect the message), and modified bases (to enhance performance). This market study encompasses companies that manufacture and supply these materials to biotech firms, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and research laboratories.
mRNA vaccines are more efficacious, have better immunogenicity, and cost less to produce than traditional treatments. For the projection period, mRNA synthesis and production services are anticipated to have rapid market expansion due to ongoing breakthroughs and advancements. Due to the key market players' goal of providing superior quality and efficacy products, there is an increasing demand for high-quality raw materials for efficient mRNA synthesis. This is essential for developing safe and effective pharmaceutical goods, vaccines, and medications. Key competitors' alliances, acquisitions, and partnerships to increase the supply of raw materials also drive the industry. The market is expanding due to new pharmaceutical companies' inventions, improved medical technology, and greater customization of facilities and services with higher quality and effectiveness.
The mRNA synthesis raw materials market is segmented into type, application, and end-user. Based on type, the market is segmented into capping agents, nucleotides, plasmid DNA, enzymes, and others. Based on the application, the market is divided into vaccine production, therapeutics production, and others. Based on the End-user, the market is divided into biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies, cross and CMOS, and academic and research institutes.
Based on type, the market is segmented into capping agents, nucleotides, plasmid DNA, enzymes, and others. Among these, the capping agents’ segment is expected to have the highest growth rate during the forecast period. Capping agents are critical for mRNA stability, translation efficiency, and reduced immunogenicity, making them essential components in the synthesis of functional, therapeutic-grade mRNA. They play a vital role in the formation of the 5' cap structure, which is crucial for effective mRNA translation. The demand for capping agents has grown significantly with the expanding use of mRNA technologies in vaccines, gene therapies, and personalized medicines. This segment is further driven by innovations in cap analogs and enzymatic capping kits, which enhance the efficiency and safety of mRNA products. In comparison, nucleotides including modified variants like N1-methyl-pseudouridine are also used in large volumes but have a relatively lower unit cost, making their overall market share smaller despite their importance in mRNA synthesis.
Based on the application, the market is divided into vaccine production, therapeutics production, and others. Among these, the vaccine production segment dominates the market. Vaccine production is the major demand driver in the mRNA synthesis raw materials market, especially in the post-COVID-19 era. The success of mRNA-based vaccines during the pandemic has accelerated research and development efforts, leading to a strong pipeline of mRNA vaccines targeting infectious diseases such as influenza, RSV, and HIV. This segment continues to be supported by government funding and global health initiatives aimed at pandemic preparedness and public health. While therapeutics production is rapidly growing, it remains an emerging segment, primarily focused on oncology, rare diseases, and genetic disorders. Although its current volume is smaller compared to vaccines, it holds significant growth potential due to increasing investments and clinical advancements.
North America is home to leading biotech and pharmaceutical companies, making it a major hub for the consumption and production of mRNA synthesis raw materials. The region boasts a well-established research ecosystem supported by top universities, advanced research institutes, and substantial funding from both public agencies, such as the NIH and BARDA, as well as private investors. Additionally, strong regulatory support for mRNA technologies through mechanisms like FDA fast-tracks and Emergency Use Authorizations has accelerated development timelines and market access. Combined with significant investments in pandemic preparedness and biotechnology innovation, these factors have firmly positioned North America as the dominant region in the mRNA synthesis raw materials market.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
