Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Synthetic biology combines engineering and science to create unique biological systems with practical applications. Synthetic biology is the process of creating new biological units such as cells, enzymes, and genetic circuits and modifying existing biological systems. Synthetic biology's primary goal is to create new biological components that do not exist in nature, such as advanced biofuels, renewable chemicals, and bio goods. Synthetic biology discovers standardised genomic units that can be utilised to quickly synthesize and assemble small genomic parts into integrated large systems to tackle specific biological difficulties for the development of biological systems.

Synthetic Biology Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increase in synthetic drugs and vaccines

The market is predicted to expand as demand for protein therapies and personalised medicine grows and research into synthetic pharmaceuticals and vaccines. Other factors such as increased synthetic biology application, increased synthetic biology investment, lower DNA sequencing and synthesising costs, and increased R&D expenditure and activities are likely to accelerate synthetic biology market expansion during the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.

• Increased research and development funding

R&D spending in the life sciences industry climbed by 22% from 2018 to 2019, according to a Business Wire report published in September 2020. Pharmaceutical companies have received more funds for research and development in order to discover new therapies. The government has made steps to fund various pharmaceutical and biotech enterprises in order to advance pharmaceutically and boost international competitiveness. As a result, R&D spending and funding have steadily rised throughout the years. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology businesses devote significant resources to research in order to create game-changing compounds that will meet the expanding demands of the healthcare industry and tackle emerging ailments. Pharmaceutical research and development accounts for more than 80% of all R&D spending in the life sciences industry.

• Improving diagnosis and better treatment

Synthetic biology is used in the healthcare industry because it can help improve diagnostics and offer better treatment options for a variety of diseases by targeting only the disease site and creating no side effects. In addition, the use of genetically designed viruses to fix damaged genes in patients with inherited disorders such as epidermolysis bullosa or severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) has increased significantly. Aside from that, technologies for executing synthetic biology are becoming more accessible, and internet usage has facilitated free interchange of ideas and information, encouraging market expansion. Furthermore, the market is being influenced positively by significant expansion in the healthcare sector and an increase in the number of synthetic biology research units around the world.

Opportunities

• Demand for fuel alternatives

Biofuels are becoming increasingly important as fuel use rises and concerns about energy security develop. Annually, nearly 150 billion tonnes of biomass are produced worldwide. Biofuels are currently made from edible commodities such as maize, sugarcane, and vegetable oil. As a result, synthetic biology techniques are becoming more widely used in renewable energy development.

Restraints/Challenges

• Ethical and biosafety concerns

The purposeful or unintentional release of synthetic organisms into the environment during research and other purposes is the primary biosafety risk in synthetic biology. When synthetic microorganisms are released into the environment, they might mutate or interact with existing organisms, potentially causing crossbreeding and bio errors. These repercussions may pose a hazard to natural creatures' ecosystems. Additionally, the emergence of antibiotic-resistant superbugs is a huge biosecurity risk. In recent years, the European Union (EU) has supported a number of studies into the environmental impact of genetically altered bacteria released for plant growth or bioremediation. These factors may limit the market's growth in the following years.

COVID-19 Impact on Global Synthetic Biology Market

Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical businesses and synthetic biology market players have stepped up to help with global research efforts by providing synthetic biology for producing test kits, therapies, and vaccinations to combat coronavirus infection. A report from the European Parliament highlights synthetic biology as one of the developing technologies. It has the ability to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The US National Institute of Health has also suggested synthetic biology as a technique to accelerate vaccine development. By employing their engineering methodologies founded on a range of data, synthetic biology technologies have the potential to alter the research and manufacture of vaccines, medicines, and diagnostics (genomic sequences, sequence annotations, enzyme properties, metabolic models, lab protocols, algorithms, and scientific knowledge). Vaccine technologies based on DNA and mRNA, for example, can make vaccine development and manufacture easier. These vaccines are made up of synthetic nucleotide strands that cause proteins to develop in the individual's own cells, triggering an immunological response. As a result of the availability of viral sequencing data, vaccination candidates can be developed quickly. This has allowed companies like Moderna and Inovio to proceed quickly into clinical development.

Recent Development

• In January 2021, Frontia GlutenEx was developed by Novozymes. It would assist wheat processors in improving gluten protein recovery while reducing energy use.
• In February 2021, Merck collaborated with BioNTech (Germany) to provide lipids for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2).
• In January 2021, Merck bought AmpTec (Germany). The company expanded its product portfolio by developing and manufacturing mRNA for use in vaccinations, therapies, and diagnostics as a result of this purchase.
