Advancements in technology |
The increased need for plasmid DNA is one of the biggest consequences of the development of cell and gene therapies. High-class plasmid DNA has become increasingly essential as the number of clinical trials followed by approved therapies for genetic and rare diseases keeps rising. For instance, the World Health Organization (WHO) and international health organizations have released new statements about the growing numbers, and worsening effects of genetic and uncommon diseases across the globe. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that approximately 7.9 million babies are born every year with genetic or partially genetic conditions. This represents about 6% of all worldwide births.
Plasmid DNA is a fundamental source material that is necessary for creating viral vectors, mRNA, and the other gene-based therapeutic products. Such a rise in the number of therapeutics in the pipeline is leading to a need for scaled-up, GMP-compliant plasmid manufacturing, and purification technologies. The FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) regulates plasmid DNA products in the U.S. The agency releases guidance documents including the Considerations for Plasmid DNA Vaccines, which offer detailed recommendations for manufacturing processes and quality testing, and preclinical safety assessments, and final product release procedures for clinical-use products.
The plasmid purification market is being majorly influenced by technological advancements that are making the production workflows more efficient and of better quality. One of the main effects of automation has been the increase in throughput, consistency, and reduction of manual intervention in laboratories and manufacturers, which, in general, is leading to fewer mistakes and less variability in purification results.
For instance, the FDA's manual "Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Control (CMC) Information for Human Gene Therapy Investigational New Drug Applications (INDs)" has given an explanation regarding the role of plasmid DNA intermediates in the form of materials for viral-vector or gene therapy productions.
Moreover, innovations in chromatography methods like affinity chromatography and anion exchange have significantly improved plasmid DNA yield, purity, and selectivity. These advanced systems provide reproducible and scalable purification processes. Thus, they are perfect for both - research and large-scale GMP manufacturing settings.
For instance, USP has published a draft General Chapter entitled "Quality Considerations of Plasmid DNA as a Starting Material for Cell and Gene Therapies (USP <1040>)," which describes the production and quality control requirements for plasmid DNA used in cell & gene therapy products. The document is also inclusive of details such as GMP/clinical-grade sourcing, documentation, characterization.

Cloning & protein expression is the major application segment that drives the plasmid purification market globally with 45.5% market share. The segment keeps the highest share as plasmids are the most common carriers are thus indispensable for gene cloning, recombinant protein production, and functional studies in both academic and industrial research.
The need for purified plasmid DNA to facilitate large-scale protein expression workflows is one of the main factors that, along with the continuous growth of biotechnology R&D and bio manufacturing, cloning and protein expression have remained the chief contributors to the consumption of plasmid purification products in laboratories and production facilities globally.
One of the main reasons for the continuance of its monopoly is the implementation of plasmid-based systems in synthetic biology and engineered therapeutics trending currently. Moreover, a constant focus on innovation for high-yield plasmid workflows is what keeps this segment in front of the field of other application areas.
A significant part of its leadership is therefore attributed to the trend that follows large-volume expression studies which require high-purity plasmids thus inciting a recurring demand from research and bio production labs. The increasing application of sophisticated expression vectors and the availability of scalable purification kits are the main factors behind this segment's strong hold.
