Frost & Sullivan Projects CRISPR Technology Will Be Fastest Growing Gene Editing Market Segment
Investment and funding spur new product and application development
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan expects that multiple applications of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) genome editing technology can generate almost $25 billion in revenue by 2030s. Various CRISPR/Cas9 systems are being developed as new diagnostic tools and others are being programmed to edit DNA at precise locations of genetic code. Frost & Sullivan Transformational Health's new analysis, Growth Insights on the Global CRISPR/Cas9 Tools Market, 2017, provides insights on existing and emerging growth opportunities in this exciting market.
Growth Insights on the Global CRISPR/Cas9 Tools Market, 2017:

"CRISPR has gained strong traction from the global research community because of its huge potential in diverse applications. Companies operating in CRISPR research tools for human therapeutics applications need to expand and strengthen their product portfolios because researchers typically prefer the single-vendor model to ensure compatibility across different products and tools," said Frost & Sullivan Transformational Healthcare Industry Analyst Piyush Bansal. "Considering this fact, the industry may witness a few mergers and acquisitions in the mid- to long- term."
Key trends in the global CRISPR tool market include:
- A Large number of partnerships and licensing activities with mid-sized and big companies looking to acquire their smaller counterparts to develop unique end-to-end products and solutions;
- Strong focus on therapeutics development over past two to three years with large pharmaceutical companies showing interest in using CRISPR for therapeutics development, drug discovery, and other research activities;
- Gene-edited agriculture products gaining popularity as sizeable agriculture companies, including Monsanto, DuPont and BASF, take initiatives to develop gene-editing crops and food products; and
- Favorable regulatory environment in both the drug discovery and agriculture biotechnology segments supporting market growth as well as new investments from existing participants and potential entrants.
"In addition, ethical considerations are important and can have legal and regulatory implications in the long term," noted Bansal. "Therefore, all industry participants need to create and adopt industry-wide application patterns and guidelines to avoid possibly large-scale negative implications."
