Oligonucleotide Pool Market Trends

• Increasing focus on new oligonucleotide therapies is driving the market growth.

Market CAGR for the oligonucleotide pool is being driven by the increasing focus on new oligonucleotide therapies. Pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies are focusing on the R&D of new oligonucleotide drugs due to the presence of a limited number of approved drugs. Oligonucleotides efficiently target disease-relevant proteins and genes inaccessible by small-molecule drugs and biological drugs. Recent advances have helped overcome challenges associated with the administration, cellular uptake, biodistribution, and side effects of oligonucleotide therapies. Many oligonucleotide therapeutics are in various clinical trials to treat many diseases, including viral infections, rare genetic disorders, neural and neuromuscular conditions, and cancers. The presence of these drugs and an increase in R&D are expected to drive the oligonucleotide pool market revenue.

The increasing prevalence of chronic and life-threatening diseases has also prompted pharmaceutical companies and research firms to focus on R&D activities to develop effective therapeutics. As a result, life science research advances are leading to an improved understanding of biological systems. Developing oligonucleotide synthesis technologies has helped pharmaceutical and biotechnology researchers with molecular-level development, design, and modification of biological systems. The increasing research activities in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors will expand the  market.

The emergence of oligonucleotide-based therapies increases the demand for oligonucleotide pool libraries. Oligonucleotides are poly nucleic acids made up of five base pairs called oligos. They work by changing the gene expression of the person they impact. Developing oligonucleotide-based therapies is evolving for various diseases, including respiratory diseases, cancer, influenza, and STDs. Currently, only two oligonucleotide therapeutics are approved by the FDA, namely the antisense oligonucleotide Fomivirsen and the aptamer Macugen. The FDA has authorized several antisense medicines, the majority of which are used to treat rare illnesses such as Batten disease, CMV retinitis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and spinal muscular atrophy.

Initiatives taken by key players and government support are also playing a crucial role in the oligonucleotide pool library market growth. Many industry players are working on various strategies for emerging technologies for oligonucleotide pool libraries. The government also supports developing novel therapies based on genes for rare diseases. For instance, in August 2021, The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that Federal Government is expected to increase research and healthcare development investments to boost the health sector. Under this investment ministry of state, health is expected to inaugurate an oligo-synthesis laboratory.
