The worldwide industry is being driven by an increase in the number of patients choosing gene therapy. The demand for plasmid DNA is soaring as gene therapy research and development picks up steam. Hence, pDNA (Plasmid DNA) production is necessary for Adeno-associated virus (AAV), lentivirus, and other viral vector systems. Moreover, several hereditary disorders and infectious diseases are spreading across the globe. For instance, according to UNAIDS figures, 1.7 million persons acquired HIV in 2019, and 38.0 million people worldwide were living with the disease. Therefore, the medical condition has enhanced the Viral Vectors and Plasmid DNA Manufacturing market CAGR globally in recent years.

In order to purify the adeno-associated virus (= AAV) vectors used in gene treatments, GE Healthcare Life Sciences (US) and Children's Medical Research Institute (Australia) embarked on cooperation. The collaboration's main goal was to improve the chromatographic separation of AAV-based vectors using a variety of AAV variants. Furthermore, it is envisaged that these partnerships would increase the manufacturing effectiveness and scalability of gene therapies, enabling the availability of viral vectors worldwide and creating profitable market prospects. Market participants are also utilizing outside funds to expand their business activities. For example, Albumedix (UK) and Cobra Biologics (US) worked together in April 2021 to handle AAV and lentiviral vectors both upstream and downstream. The partnership aims to increase stability. For instance, there have been several advancements for Viral Vectors and Plasmid DNA Manufacturing implants, another factor driving the growth of the Viral Vectors and Plasmid DNA Manufacturing market revenue.
