A viral vector is a tool used by molecular biologists for delivering genetic materials into cells. It is used to replace defective genes for curing genetic disorders and express and present pathogenic antigens for generating an immune response by mimicking a natural infection. It is widely employed in oncolytic therapies to target and kill tumor cells. Besides this, as it assists in treating different diseases, such as heart defects, metabolic diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders, it finds extensive applications in life science research, gene therapy and vaccinology. At present, there is a rise in viral vector manufacturing on account of the rising prevalence of genetic disorders due to a combination of gene mutations and damaged chromosomes in the body.
Viral Vector Manufacturing Market Trends:
The increasing cancer patients due to the rising alcohol consumption and sedentary lifestyles of individuals represents one of the key factors contributing to the growth of the market. In addition, there is a rise in the number of clinical studies undertaken on viral vectors across the globe. This, along with the growing utilization of viral vectors in novel drug delivery, is positively influencing the market. Besides this, they are efficient carriers of virus-disabling sequences and are used to deliver HIV-inhibiting transgenes to human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Additionally, governments of several countries are launching campaigns to generate awareness about viral vector vaccines among individuals. They are also improving the regulatory environment via changes, such as fast-track approval processes. Furthermore, key market players are extensively investing in capacity expansion for manufacturing activities around the world. These players are also indulging in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), which is projected to increase their overall sales and profitability.
