The synthetic biology market is expected to reach US$ 56,044.9 million by 2025 from US$ 6,802.0 in 2016; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 28.2% from 2018 to 2025.
Synthetic biology, an interdisciplinary branch of biology and engineering, involves designing and constructing new devices, systems, and biological parts as well as re-designing existing, natural biological systems. It has various applications in the field of food & agriculture, medicine, and other areas. Technologies such as gene synthesis, genome engineering, and cloning and sequencing help the researchers to understand the organization of natural biological systems and design new biological entities. It offers various advantages to humans. Factors such as extensive use of enzymes kits and other gene synthesis products in research institutes and academics. Additionally, rising demand for enzyme based kits and solutions required for gene manipulation and rising awareness about genetic engineering among the healthcare professionals in developed nations also accelerate the market growth. However, competition among existing market players may restrain the growth of the market.
