Overview:
The
gene editing market is growing by leaps and bounds as the demand for such from
both agriculture and healthcare sectors are on the rise. Gene editing is a
process that involves insertion, deletion or replacement of DNA in the genome
sequence of a living organism which can be achieved by using molecular scissors. It can
be applied to both plants and animals. The life science sector across the
globe is expected to benefit much from the engineering technology. Its
applications in several areas such as mutation, therapeutics, and agriculture
biotechnology are providing traction to the market.
The technique has huge opportunity in agriculture as it can
better crop production. The global gene editing market is expecting a
significant rise by 18.30% CAGR during the forecast period (2018-2023). A report
published by Market Research Future (MRFR) includes an overview of the market
with special emphasis on the segmental
analysis and factors that can contribute to
the growth of the market. Its use in the healthcare sector to develop new
medicines can open up avenues for the gene editing market. The technique has
the prospect to treat genetically affected cells, cancer, diseases caused by
viruses, bacteria, and parasites.

However,
ethical issues regarding the alteration
of the human genome can be seen as a market irritant during the
forecast period. At the same time, genetically-edited animals are also raising
concerns regarding the quality of
products. Despite these factors, gene editing has a colossal prospect in the healthcare sector which can ensure the
expected growth in the coming years.
Competitive Analysis:
Integrated DNA Technologies,
Inc. (U.S.), GenScript USA Inc. (U.S.), Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. (U.S.),
Lonza Group Ltd. (Switzerland), New England Biolabs, Inc. (U.S.), Horizon
Discovery Group plc (U.K.), Sangamo Biosciences, Inc. (U.S.), OriGene
Technologies, Inc. (U.S.), Sigma-Aldrich Corporation (U.S.), and Transposagen
Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (U.S.)
are major companies of this gene editing market profiled in the report.
In 2018, scientists at The University of Texas at
Austin discovered that in Cas9 the most popular enzyme used in CRISPR gene
editing is, in reality, less effective
and precise than CRISPR protein named Cas12a. The use of the latter would
enhance the speed which is much necessary for
such tests.
In March 2018, the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) announced that the regulatory board would no longer control
the genome testing in plants as they believe that it is perfectly safe and
brings in new traits much quicker. This
is a promising sign for the gene editing market.
However, many are still arguing over the credibility of such decision as
they believe that perfect process is still miles away.
