Synthetic Biology: DNA Cloning Market, 2022-2035

Synthetic Biology: DNA Cloning Market, 2022-2035

The field of gene cloning remained a largely unexplored area until 1973, when A. C. Y. Chang, H. W. Boyer, R. B. Helling and Stanley N. Cohen reported that individual genes can be cloned and isolated by cleaving DNA enzymatically into DNA fragments. Over time, the evolution of genome engineering techniques has allowed for alterations in the genome of microorganisms, thereby enabling the production of substances having various research and therapeutic applications. DNA cloning, which is a highly regulated method, is widely acknowledged and employed in many laboratories throughout the world. Specifically, during the COVID-19 pandemic, several well-known pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies, as well as synthetic biology market players, have stepped forward and contributed to the research and development of a variety of products, such as test kits, treatment solutions, and vaccines to combat the coronavirus infection using synthetic biology. Based on the requirement, a variety of approaches, such as traditional cloning, PCR cloning, ligation independent cloning, seamless cloning and recombinational cloning, can be used to clone the DNA. Despite several advancements in the field of synthetic biology, the DNA cloning process is associated with various challenges, such as requirement of large amounts of expensive vectors for cloning, different reagents and longer time duration for the completion of process.

In order to overcome these drawbacks, innovators in the pharmaceutical industry have undertaken several efforts for identifying and developing ways to improve the process of DNA cloning. Among other alternatives, the use of DNA cloning kits has emerged as a viable option for various drug developers and academic / research institutes to overcome the challenges associated with the traditional DNA cloning methods. Presently, more than 250 DNA cloning kits are available in the market. These cloning kits are affordable, easy to use and produce high quality results in short duration. Further, more than 3,200 patents and 4,000 research articles have been published for DNA cloning technologies in the past few years; this is indicative of the innovative efforts of the stakeholders engaged in this domain. Driven by the increasing demand for gene therapies and the introduction of novel and advanced DNA cloning technologies, the DNA cloning market is anticipated to witness steady growth in the coming years.
