OLIGONUCLEOTIDE SYNTHESIS MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
Oligonucleotides are one of the fastest growing segments in the pharmaceutical industry. These molecules are extensively utilized in biopharmaceutical and biotechnology fields for various applications, including research, genetic testing, forensic analysis, and other analytical methods. Currently, researchers are investigating the potential of oligonucleotides as a pharmacological approach for the treatment of a myriad of disease indications. In addition, it is worth noting that close to 300 clinical trials have been registered across different geographical regions to evaluate various oligonucleotides for therapeutic purposes. As the oligonucleotide manufacturing industry advances, numerous automatic oligo synthesizers are being incorporated into large scale production for developing and producing oligonucleotide therapeutics. These synthesizers can execute steps, such as molecule synthesis, removal of protecting groups, purification, desalting and lyophilization, with increased efficiency. However, the challenges associated with oligonucleotide production, including extended timelines, lack of purification techniques, lack of expertise, and regulatory and compliance-related issues among the developers, have driven drug developers to outsource key operations. At present, over 110 oligonucleotide synthesis providers offer custom oligonucleotide synthesis, oligonucleotide modification and oligonucleotide purification services, which are intended for research, diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The growing oligonucleotide-based drugs pipeline, encouraging clinical trial results and extensive research activity in the domain, is likely to present lucrative market growth opportunities for custom / contract service providers, during the forecast period.
