by Plasmid DNA is a small, circular DNA molecule that occurs in bacteria and other cellular organisms, and can replicate independently of the chromosome. Plasmid DNA is commonly used as a vector for cloning and sequencing genetic components such as DNA. It is widely used in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, gene therapy and other research sectors. Plasmid DNA is used to produce genetic vaccines, therapeutic proteins and antibodies. It is also used in gene therapy clinical trials to treat various diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, genetic diseases and others. The rising demand for innovative gene therapies and biologics coupled with increasing gene therapy clinical trials is expected to drive the global plasmid DNA manufacturing market.
The global plasmid DNA manufacturing market is estimated to be valued at US$ 901.2 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
