Recent developments by key players in the Plasmid DNA Manufacturing Market:

Cobra Biologics and Pharmaceutical Services

Cobra Biologics, Cognate BioServices' gene therapy subsidiary, announced a multi-phase expansion of its plasmid DNA services in January 2021 as part of the company's Gene Therapy services expansion project for viral vectors and plasmid DNA. This includes a fourfold increase in HQ (High Quality) DNA manufacturing capacity at its European locations, as well as new clinical and commercial GMP DNA facilities.

VGXI, Inc.

In January 2024, VGXI completed its new headquarters and manufacturing facility in Texas, effectively tripling its output of pDNA and mRNA raw materials, allowing it to better support the growing pipeline of cell and gene therapies.

Enhanced Manufacturing Capabilities: VGXI, Inc. remains a leading company in the plasmid DNA manufacturing market, specializing in the production of high-quality plasmid DNA for gene therapy applications. The organization is recognized for its expertise in large-scale plasmid DNA production, responding to the increasing demand within the biotechnology sector.

Aldevron

In February 2024, Aldevron expanded its GMP-grade plasmid DNA manufacturing capabilities in North Dakota, significantly increasing the capacity for clinical and commercial-scale gene therapy supply.

The market for plasmid DNA production is growing as a result of rising research demand in the areas of gene therapy and genetic immunisation. In the modern healthcare sector, plasmid DNA is crucial. The plasmid DNA can be utilised for research as well as the production of vaccine antigens and gene therapy. The expansion of the market is being driven by the rise in patients seeking gene therapy. Also, the market for plasmid DNA synthesis is being driven by the biopharmaceutical sector's explosive rise. Additionally, the increased use of gene therapy to treat serious illnesses like cancer, autoimmune diseases, and others is anticipated to boost demand for plasmid DNA production in the near future. Furthermore, the desire for innovative manufacturing technologies for the commercial production of plasmid DNA is driven by the expanding demand for advancements in the biopharmaceutical industry. The increase in partnerships and cooperation amongst the numerous organisations operating in this field reflects the rising need for plasmid DNA production. However, there are major backlogs and lengthy waiting lists for contract manufacturers who can supply plasmid DNA of GMP standard. The market and patient expectations could be harmed by the industry's inability to deliver high-quality DNA in a timely manner, which could hinder R&D pipeline advancement. These factors are expected to hinder the market of plasmid DNA manufacture.
