In this report, the global market is segmented by type, disease, application, end user. By type, the market is segmented into retroviral vectors, adenoviral vectors, adeno-associated viral vectors, and other viral vectors. The adeno-associated viral vector manufacturing segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period as they have applications in most cell-based gene therapies.
Based on disease, the market is segmented into cancer, genetic disorders, infectious diseases, and other diseases. In 2018, cancer is expected to account for the largest share of the global market. Its large share can be attributed to growing research on viral vector gene therapies for cancer.
By application, the viral vector manufacturing market is segmented into gene therapy and vaccinology. The gene therapy segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. The availability of effective viral vector gene therapies for rare diseases and cancers, ongoing research activities on viral vector gene therapies, and the recent approval of several viral vector gene therapies are driving the growth of this market.
Based on end users, the viral vector manufacturing market is segmented into pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies and research institutes. In 2018, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies are expected to account for the largest share of the global market. The successful launch of viral vector gene therapies and a robust pipeline of such therapies are the key factors contributing to the growth of the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies segment during the forecast period.
Geographically, Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest rate viral vector manufacturing market during the forecast period. The fast growth of this regional segment can be attributed to the growing research activities to launch novel gene therapies in the untapped markets of this region.
While the overall market is expected to grow during the forecast period, the high price of gene therapies and short shelf-life of viral vectors are likely to restrain the growth of this market to a certain extent. The major players in the global market include Lonza (Switzerland), Merck (Germany), Oxford BioMedica (UK), CGT Catapult (UK), Cobra Biologics (UK), uniQure (Netherlands), FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies (US), and Spark Therapeutics (US).
