The market is driven by strong government support through initiatives aimed at the modernization of regulatory framework, improvements in approval processes & reimbursement policies, as well as standardization of clinical studies. The growing foothold of personalized medicine and an increasing number of orphan drug formulations are opening new avenues for biotechnology applications and are driving the influx of emerging and innovative biotechnology companies, further boosting the market revenue.
The COVID-19 pandemic has positively impacted the biotechnology market by propelling a rise in opportunities and advancements for drug development and manufacturing of vaccines for the disease. For instance, in 2021, over 11 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine were produced globally, resulting in vaccination of about half of the world’s population within a year. Furthermore, the success of mRNA vaccines and accelerated approval processes have led to a surge in vaccine-related revenues, as evident by a combined revenue generation of around USD 31 billion in 2021 from Moderna, Pfizer/BioNTech, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
Expanding demand for biotechnology tools for agricultural applications including micro-propagation, molecular breeding, tissue culturing, conventional plant breeding & development of genetically modified crops, among others, have boosted the market growth. Moreover, genetically modified crops and herbicide-tolerant & insect resistant seeds are witnessing an increasing popularity and are contributing to the market growth. Rise in adoption of tissue culture technology for production of novel rice variants and disease- & pest-free banana varieties in regions of South Asia and Africa, and use of the technology for cloning of disease-free and nutritious plant varieties have propelled the agricultural applications for biotechnology.
The market is also driven by the presence of strong clinical trial pipeline and funding opportunities available in tissue engineering and regeneration technologies. As per the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine, companies developing cell and gene therapies raised over USD 23.1 billion investments globally in 2021, an increase of about 16% over 2020’s total of USD 19.9 billion. Clinical success of leading gene therapy players in 2021, such as promising results from an in vivo CRISPR treatment for transthyretin amyloidosis, developed by Intellia Therapeutics and Regeneron, are significantly affecting the market growth.
Rising demand for clinical solutions for the treatment of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, age-related macular degeneration, and almost all forms of arthritis are anticipated to boost the market. Major firms are investigating and developing pipeline products for diabetes and neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s & Alzheimer’s diseases, various types of cancers and cardiovascular diseases. For instance, according to clinicaltrials.gov, as of January 2021, there were 126 agents in clinical trials for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, with 28 treatments in phase III trials.
Life sciences and healthcare sectors are experiencing a widespread use of fermentation technology and have positively impacted the market growth. Several modifications and advancements in the conventional bioreactors, such as introduction of simplified bioreactors and vortex bioreactors have led to improvements in the fermentation technology and growth in its adoption. Furthermore, vortex bioreactors have also been improvised for wastewater processing, to offer an enhanced operational feasibility. These modifications and improvement in fermentation technology are expected to accelerate market growth in the near future.
CAR T and TCR T-cell therapies are being explored as potential treatment options against chronic viral infections, such as HIV, hepatitis B, and SARS-CoV-2. For instance, scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School are evaluating the use of T-cell therapy in combating the COVID-19 infection. The scientists have demonstrated that TCR-redirected T cells exhibit a functional profile comparable to that of SARS-specific CD8 memory T cells obtained from patients who have recovered from the infection. Such investigations are anticipated to spur further research prospects in this domain and drive the market growth.
Biotechnological techniques including stem cell technology, DNA fingerprinting, and genetic engineering, among other, are gaining significant traction since past few years. Technological advancement in stem cell therapeutics, increasing demand for biologics, and a growing focus on the development of personalized medicines have resulted in a growing market for stem cell technologies.

Similarly, genetic engineering and cloning techniques are being increasingly used in animal breeding and for manufacturing of complex biological substances.
DNA sequencing held a significant market share of 17.53% in 2023 which can be attributed to declining sequencing costs and rising penetration of advanced DNA sequencing techniques. Government funding in genetic research has enabled a rise in applications of sequencing for better understanding of diseases. For instance, in May 2021, a USD 10.7 million NIH grant was awarded to the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, for investigation of the genetic basis of Alzheimer’s disease.
Nanobiotechnology is expected to grow at a significant growth rate from 2024 to 2033 owing to an increase in nanomedicine approvals and the advent of advanced technology. For instance, applications of theranostics nanoparticles have gained impetus for enabling prompt diagnosis and customization of treatment options for multiple disorders at once. Factors such as low toxicity, smaller size, and chemical plasticity of nanoparticles have proved to be beneficial for overcoming the limitation associated with conventional routes of generic drug administration. Furthermore, tissue engineering and regeneration medicine held a significant share due to government and private investments in the field, along with high healthcare spending and presence of significant number of mature and emerging players in this space. These factors are expected to drive the segment growth over the forecast period.
The health application segment accounted for the largest share 51% in 2023. Growing disease burden, increasing availability of agri-biotech & bio-services, and technological developments in bio-industrial sector are expected to drive the segment growth.
