Major market players are involved in strategic collaborations with leading biopharmaceutical companies and research institutes for the development of novel therapeutics based on recombinant DNA technologies. Such strategic collaborations in the market are expected to create a conducive environment for the growth of the global recombinant DNA technology market in the near future. For instance, in August, 2017, Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines division of the French multinational pharmaceutical company Sanofi acquired Protein Sciences Corporation, a biotech company based in Meriden, Connecticut. with a strategy to add a promising product to its vaccine portfolio – Flublok (Influenza Vaccine), which is the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved recombinant protein-based influenza vaccine.

Moreover, research organizations are launching initiatives and providing research grants for the development of novel therapeutics, which is expected to drive the growth of the recombinant DNA technology market over the forecast period. For instance, in March 2017, the University of Pennsylvania received US$ 16.3 million grants from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to develop a recombinant DNA technology-based HIV vaccine.

Global Recombinant DNA Technology Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe and the World Health Organization had declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

The COVID-19 can affect the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others are facing problems with regard to the transportation of drugs from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the global recombinant DNA technology market, owing to the novel recombinant technologies used in the development of COVID-19 vaccine. For instance, in November 2020, according to an article published by National Center for Biotechnology Information, in addition to live vectored and inactivated viruses, novel recombinant technologies are used in the development of COVID-19 vaccine. The advantages of recombinant vaccines include greater response predictability and improved efficacy.

 SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV are both positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses with a genome size of ~30 kilobases that encode several structural and non-structural proteins. Based on advances in techniques for vaccine design, inactivated, live-vectored, nucleic acid, and recombinant COVID-19 vaccines are being developed and tested for their efficacy.

Global Recombinant DNA Technology Market: Key Developments

In January 2022, Jiangsu Recbio Technology Co., Ltd. (Recbio), a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the research and development of new corona vaccine, developed Recombinant COVID-19 Vaccine ReCOV and announced the authorization of ReCOV in The Philippines after Phase 1 studies get strong immunogenicity and safety data, as well as good cross-neutralization against Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) such as Omicron and Delta. Phase II/III clinical development will be accelerated at international multi-centers globally in the upcoming months of 2022.

Global Recombinant DNA Technology Market: Restraint
