    Market Definition

    Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are among the most clinically advanced drug delivery systems. They safely and effectively deliver nucleic acids. LNPs serve as vehicles that transport pharmaceutical substances into targeted cells, where the substances are absorbed and released. LNPs have been in high demand owing to their applications in COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, where they coat fragile mRNA strands for cellular uptake and processing. LNPs have several applications, including gene editing, rapid vaccine development, immuno-oncology, and the treatment of rare genetic diseases and undruggable targets, which are often hindered by inefficient nucleic acid delivery.
