Inflow of Funds to Ameliorate Microbiome Discovery Pipeline Drives Europe Microbiome Therapeutics Market
Research has shown that imbalances or disruptions in the microbiome can contribute to various conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease and obesity, as well as mental health disorders. The recognition of the microbiome's role in overall health has generated significant interest in developing therapeutics to target and modulate the microbiome. Additionally, advancements in technology and research tools have made it easier to study and manipulate the microbiome. Next-generation sequencing and metagenomic analysis have allowed for a deeper understanding of microbial communities and their functions. The increased knowledge has opened up new possibilities for developing targeted therapies. For instance, in March 2023, mbiomics GmbH, a German microbiome biotech company, developed the first generation of effective microbiome-based therapeutics. It received a funding of 13 million (US$ 15 million) from MIG Capital. The funding will allow to build the platform, which will accelerate the identification of first-lead drug candidates and speed up research efforts toward clinical validation. As strong clinical evidence becomes available, investors are beginning to take notice of microbiome modulator firms. The heightened funding provides companies with necessary resources to overcome the challenges associated with the high cost of development and production, ultimately driving the field forward.
Europe Microbiome Therapeutics Market Overview
Microbiome therapeutic research companies in Germany are focused on calling other companies to invest in their research activities to improve the quality of research being conducted for microbiome product development. In March 2023, mbiomics GmbH, a German biotech company focused on the microbiome, received ~US$ 15 million (13 million) in a series A financing round led by MIG Capital. mbiomics used the proceeds to embark on strategic partnerships, significantly expanding their Munich laboratory facilities and R&D teams in Germany. In some FMT procedures, infectious agents may be transferred from donor to patient, which affects the outcomes. Hence, Germany has set particular regulations for the use of microbiome or FMT procedures. In Germany, FMT drugs are regulated as a medicinal product; however, the use of this product can be done only when no other treatment is working on conditions such as C. difficile infections and gut infections. Hence, despite an upsurge in investments in research on microbiome therapeutics, regulations regarding the use of these therapeutic products may hamper the growth of the Europe microbiome therapeutics market in Germany.
