Gene Editing Market Dynamics
DRIVER: Growing applications of genomics
Future trends in genomic engineering include its use in marine engineering for applications such as developing nutraceuticals from algae. Forensic sciences and personalized medicine are some of the other upcoming application areas. NGS can be used for DNA barcoding to identify fish larvae and eggs, along with the complete description of fish communities while assessing fish populations. Genomics is increasingly being used in food quality and safety testing. Genome editing technologies are vital in drug discovery and diagnosing and treating human genetic disorders. Genome editing is also used in NGS, DNA analysis & profiling, and plant and animal genetic engineering. Thus, with the growing application areas of genomics, the demand for genome editing technologies is expected to increase during the forecast period.
RESTRAINT: Off-target effects of CRISPR technology
The off-target effects of CRISPR technology pose a significant restraint in gene editing. While CRISPR-Cas9 offers remarkable precision in targeting specific genes, it can also result in unintended modifications at sites other than the intended target. This off-target activity can lead to potential risks and challenges in applying CRISPR technology. Ensuring accurate targeting is crucial to minimize the risk of unintended modifications and potential adverse effects. Researchers are refining CRISPR techniques and developing strategies to improve specificity and reduce off-target effects. Advancements such as high-fidelity Cas9 variants, improved guide RNA design, and bioinformatics tools have shown promise in mitigating off-target activity.
OPPORTUNITY: Expanding pipeline for gene therapy
The expanding pipeline for gene therapy in the gene editing industry presents significant opportunities for advancements in treating genetic disorders and other diseases. Gene therapy involves the delivery of therapeutic genes or gene editing tools into the patient’s cells to correct genetic mutations, restore normal gene function, or introduce therapeutic genes for targeted treatment. The growing number of gene therapy candidates in the development pipeline highlights the potential for transformative breakthroughs in personalized medicine and the treatment of previously incurable diseases.
CHALLENGE: High equipment costs
The costs associated with gene editing equipment can be substantial. For instance, gene editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9 require specialized laboratory equipment, including DNA sequencers, thermal cyclers, electroporation devices, and fluorescence microscopes. These instruments can have high price tags, ranging from thousands to millions of dollars. In addition to equipment costs, procuring quality reagents, such as nucleases, guide RNAs, and donor templates, can contribute to the overall expenses.
