The global rat and mouse model market is anticipated to reach USD 3.58 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 9.0% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Humanized mouse and rat models are used in biological and medical research due to functional human genes, tissues, cells, and organs. In health and clinical settings, these mouse & rat prototypes are utilized to replicate the human immune system. Furthermore, humanized mouse and rat prototypes are used for basic research, evaluating the safety of large-molecule medicines, simulating some human-specific infectious diseases, along with testing the efficacy of immunotherapy approaches.
The use of mouse & rat prototypes for the identification of immunodeficiency disorders, tumors, and various other rare diseases, along with an increase in R&D activities carried out by healthcare and biotechnology companies, as well as continuous funding and interventions from governments and private sectors for mouse & rat model research, are driving the global market. Furthermore, technological advancements for developing animal models are anticipated to spur market growth. Companies are adopting advanced technologies to develop better models. For instance, in October 2023, Taconic Biosciences, a major company operating in the industry, announced the ExprssMODEL CRISPR Platform, which can advance the development and manufacturing of mouse models. This platform can eliminate the need for an expansion breeding step and saves a minimum three months in the overall study timeline. Such developments are anticipated to drive the industry's growth over the forecast period.
Furthermore, players operating in the industry are undertaking several initiatives like partnerships, collaborations, acquisitions, and mergers to strengthen their market position. For instance, in April 2023, an ingenious targeting laboratory, a provider of custom genetically modified rat, mouse, and rabbit models, partnered with Shanghai Model Organisms Center (SMOC) to distribute SMOC's validated off-the-shelf mouse models in Europe and North America. Such collaborations are expected to increase the accessibility of animal models, which can drive market growth in the coming years.
