Due to the rising number of COVID-19 patients around the world and the significant external financing for the manufacturing of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines, the COVID-19 pandemic has favorably impacted the growth of the global market. Additionally, when new strains of the SARS-COVID-19 virus appear in numerous nations throughout the world, demand for mRNA vaccines witness a sharp rise due to their potent protection against these strains. As a result, the usage of these mRNA-based products is projected to increase during the COVID-19 pandemic and result in market growth.

Furthermore, messenger RNAs have become a promising therapeutic tool owing to recent technological advancements such as improved stability, translation, and delivery techniques. Indeed, mRNA vaccines have paved the way for new pharmacological areas and emerged as a prominent therapeutic class. These mRNA vaccines support next-generation vaccinations, ushering in a new era in vaccine development. For instance, in March 2020, Moderna, Inc. and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases jointly developed the mRNA-1273 (NIAID). It shows 94.1% efficacy in symptomatic prevention from COVID-19 and in December 2020, received emergency use authorization from the US Food & Drug Administration (US FDA) for widespread immunization of people. Additionally, mRNA therapies, a rapidly growing class of medications for numerous diseases, will alter the accepted standard of service and advance customized medicine. As a result, the demand for mRNA-based products is anticipated to grow in the coming years.

This market growth is fueled by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, respiratory, CKD, and rare diseases like propionic acidemia, methylmalonic acidemia, glycogen disease, phenylketonuria, and metabolic and immune disorders. For instance, according to Globocan, in December 2020, there were 19.3 million new cases of cancer worldwide and 10 million cancer-related deaths were reported. Furthermore, the popularization of mRNA vaccines; the development of personalized therapeutics for cancer; and a strong pipeline of new products increase the demand for mRNA vaccines and therapeutics, thus propelling the industry growth during the projection period.

Increased investments by operating players for the production of advanced and effective therapeutics and vaccines are likely to support industry growth throughout the projected timeframe. For instance, in April 2021, in a joint venture with Axcelead, Inc., American mRNA therapeutic developer Arcturus Therapeutics formed a Japanese company in Chiba Prefecture and is constructing a production facility in Minamisoma City, Fukushima Prefecture. Such investments are likely to supplement the industry growth in the coming years.

Application Insights

The infectious disease segment led the market and held 100% revenue share in 2021. The increasing adoption of mRNA-based vaccines, a high number of candidates entering clinical trials for various infectious diseases, and the COVID-19 outbreak in late 2019 are anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period. The oncology segment is expected to expand at a lucrative rate over the forecast period. As per the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, cancer accounted for approximately 10 million deaths in 2020, making it the leading cause of death globally.

Furthermore, lung, colon, rectum, liver, stomach, and breast cancers are some of the prevalent cancers that cause death. As a result, rising chronic illness incidence would ultimately increase the need for mRNA cancer vaccines and therapies, driving the market over the forecast period. Additionally, the lack of precision cancer therapy medications is pressuring the government and a number of important players to invest extensively in R&D. As a result, the demand for cancer vaccines and treatments is rising, thus driving the industry over the forecast period.
