Gene Editing Market Trends



  • Increased financing for genetic research will boost gene editing market growth.


Additionally, a rise in gene editing research and development (R&D) activities is fueling gene editing market revenue expansion. For example, on June 2, 2022, CRISPR-Combo, a method developed by scientists at the University of Maryland's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, enables the editing of several genes in plants while concurrently changing the expression of other genes. With the help of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), this new technique will enable genetic engineering combinations to improve crop breeding and functioning.


Governments worldwide have recently made large expenditures in the science of genomics, which has greatly influenced the advancement of novel genome editing technologies. Additionally, the availability of government financing has made it possible for government and university institutions to do extensive research on genome engineering. For instance, the Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Industry (Science) announced in March 2020 that Genome Canada would receive USD 15 million to fund 11 genomic research initiatives in health, agriculture, and the environment. Provincial governments, companies, and research partners will also spend USD 29.7 million to assist these research programs. The initiatives cover ovarian and cervical cancer research. There has been a tremendous increase in genomics research initiatives due to large government funding. Thus, this factor is driving the gene editing market CAGR.


The United States Food and Drug Administration granted permission to researchers at the University of California (U.C.), San Francisco, UC Berkeley, and UC Los Angeles in March 2021 to jointly begin an early phase, first-in-human clinical trial of a gene correction therapy in sickle cell disease patients using the patient's blood-forming stem cells.


Similarly, Merck and Takara Bio USA, Inc. struck a licensing deal in October 2020. Through this arrangement, Takara has been granted a license from Merck to use its CRISPR technology to create vectors and other cutting-edge products to assist CRISPR-based research and cell engineering services, notably for stem cells. Thus, it is anticipated that this aspect will accelerate Gene Editing market revenue globally.


Gene Editing Market Segment Insights


Gene Editing Method Insights


The Gene Editing market segmentation, based on Method, includes Crispr, Talen, Zfn, Antisense Technology and Others. The Crispr segment held the majority share in 2022 in the Gene Editing market data. It is mainly because of its expanded use in agriculture, biotechnology, and healthcare. CRISPR/Cas9 research is being conducted to discover treatments for life-threatening conditions, including the human immunodeficiency virus and Huntington's disease (HIV). The growth of the mutant protein was decreased by roughly 90% in mice models using CRISPR/Cas9, according to a study, which suggests that a mutant protein is what causes Huntington's disease. Studies show that CRISPR/Cas9 can successfully remove the receptors that cause viral infections. CRISPR techniques are being used in several hundred tests and research worldwide; thus, it is anticipated that this technology will continue to rule the gene editing market.
