Transfection Technologies Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2022-2028)

Transfection Technologies Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2022-2028)

The transfection technologies market is expected to witness a CAGR of around 8% during the forecast period. Transfection is a modern and powerful method used to insert foreign nucleic acids into eukaryotic cells. The ability to modify host cells’ genetic content enables the broad application of this process in studying normal cellular processes, disease molecular mechanisms, and gene therapeutic effects. Biosimilar drug development is accelerated as several drug patents are anticipated to lapse in the coming years. A combination of cytological, genomic, and proteomic analysis is crucial to their development. As a result, the use of transfection equipment and reagents in proteomic and genomic research has grown. Furthermore, rising cases of cancer & high demand for synthetic genes will increase the growth of the transfection technologies market. For instance, according to the data provided by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IRAC) in 2018, it is estimated that there will be more than 27.5 million new cancer cases by 2040. Also, the two main purposes of transfection are to produce recombinant proteins or to specifically enhance or inhibit gene expression in transfected cells. As such, transfection is a powerful analytical tool for the study of the function and regulation of genes or gene products, for the production of transgenic organisms, and as a method for gene therapy.
