MRNA SYNTHESIS AND MANUFACTURING MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
In recent years, mRNA technology has revolutionized the pharmaceutical industry to prevent and treat a wide array of diseases and disorders. The success of COVID-19 vaccines has paved the path for mRNA vaccines and therapeutics. It is worth highlighting that, in the past few years, more than 170 clinical trials related to mRNA-based therapeutics / vaccines have been registered. Multiple preclinical and clinical reports demonstrating the efficacy of these platforms have been published in the last two years. As a result, there is an evident increase in the demand for mRNA manufacturing capacity. However, the synthesis and manufacturing process of mRNA-based therapeutics / vaccines is complex and associated with several challenges. Production of such drug products requires skilled labor, stringent manufacturing protocols and specialized expertise. Due to such operational and technical challenges associated with the production of RNA-based products, innovators in the biopharmaceutical industry are increasingly relying on contract service providers. In the foreseen future, as more of such RNA-based leads mature and move into the clinic and / or get commercialized, we anticipate the mRNA synthesis and manufacturing services market to witness healthy growth.
