Global Viral Vector Manufacturing Market Overview

Viral vectors are efficient gene transfer vehicles that are commonly used by molecular biologists to manipulate a specific cell type or tissue for certain therapeutic purposes. The viral vector manufacturing market is witnessing a steady rise due to increased research and development activities aimed at the early diagnosis and effective treatment of several medical conditions. In April 2023, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed the genetic cause of severe developmental diseases in about 5,500 patients.  With a rise in the prevalence of genetic disorders along with technical advancements in diagnostic methods, the viral vector manufacturing market demand is expected to fuel in the coming years.

Several leading players in the market are actively investing in the capacity expansion for viral vector manufacturing activities. In June 2023, SK Inc.'s subsidiary SK Pharmteco,  a global contract development and manufacturing organization headquartered in California, announced the establishment of its second facility for cell and gene therapies (CGT) manufacturing in Europe spanning 5000 square meters. The new facility specializes in the bioproduction of lentiviral vectors (LV) and adeno-associated virus (AAV). With the help of its commercial viral vector manufacturing subsidiary for CGTs, the company is expanding its presence in the market. The surge in investments to scale up viral vector production are anticipated to propel the viral vector manufacturing market growth in the forecast period.

The market is also driven by the rise in government initiatives and programs to fuel viral vector manufacture and development. The rising healthcare expenditure to improve patient outcomes is another factor, poised to aid expansion of the market size.
