Global biotechnology market value was USD 752.88 billion in 2020. It is expected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 15.83%) between 2021 and 2028. Due to the rapid growth of biotechnology in developing countries like India and China, the market is driven by government initiatives. The government initiatives focus on modernizing the drug regulatory system, standardizing clinical studies and improving reimbursement policies. This will provide lucrative growth opportunities for the market. Additionally, small molecules dominated the pipeline of pharmaceutical compounds in 2019, with 22 U.S. FDA approvals to date. This compares to eight large molecules (biotech) which had only 8. A growing number of orphan drugs and personalized medicines means that around 4 out 10 drugs are biotech-derived. This is driving the growth of innovative biotechnology companies and further increasing market revenue.
Agri-input companies also focus on improving existing technologies, including the development of new stacked genes in crops and new germplasm through breeding innovations and gene sequences. For improved productivity and sustainable solutions, companies are focusing their efforts on bringing new agricultural innovations to market. BASF, for instance, announced in February 2020 that it will launch over 30 projects to develop novel seeds, traits and biological crop protection solutions. The market growth is aided by the extensive use of biotechnology to improve agricultural products.
The COVID-19 pandemic is a positive catalyst for market growth. The leaders in developing drugs that target COVID-19 are biotech companies. Gilead Sciences, Inc. was granted FDA approval for antiviral Remdesivir in the treatment of COVID-19 patients, 8 months after the initial COVID-19 case.
The market is also growing due to increased involvement of the biotechnology sector with drug manufacturers, multinational pharmaceutical companies and diagnostic companies. Pfizer Inc. partnered with BioNTech SE in March 2020 to develop BNT162, a COVID-19 vaccine candidate. BioNTech SE created the vaccine using mRNA technology to accelerate the development of the COVID-19 vaccination.
In 2020, the health application segment accounted for 48.64% of the total market. This trend is expected to continue throughout the forecast period. The increasing incidence of diseases is the main reason for the segment's growth. The segment's growth is also due to an increased focus on agribiotech and providing services, growing adoption of bioinformatics solutions, and thriving bio-industrial sector.
Companies are also entering into partnerships to develop new therapeutic molecules. This is what is driving the market. Amgen partnered with Adaptive Biotechnologies in April 2020 to develop and discover antibodies that will combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The collaboration will utilize Adaptive's immune medicine platform to identify virus-neutralizing antibody and combine Amgen’s expertise in immunology and novel antibody therapy for promising new treatments against SARS-CoV-2.
Due to increasing alliances that coordinate and promote the adoption of informatics tools, the bioinformatics segment will grow at a 21.2% CAGR from 2021-2028. GC Pharma, for example, entered into a partnership in September 2020 with Atomwise to discover new methods of treating hemophilia. Both companies will be focusing on other treatment options than the replacement therapies commonly used to treat hemophilia. Atomwise's AI platform AtomNet screened 16 billion compounds in just two days.
In 2020, the others technology segment accounted for 27.83% of the total market. In 2020, DNA sequencing accounted for the second largest share. Advanced DNA sequencing is responsible for the growth of this segment. In April 2020, for example, the Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center was awarded a grant by the National Institutes of Health for the Pacific Biosciences Sequel IIDNA sequencing instrument. This will improve the efficiency and capability of sequencing. It can sequence through difficult regions of the human genome. This will enable comprehensive genome sequencing
Nanobiotechnology will grow at 16.8% CAGR between 2021 and 2028 due to technological advances in the field. For instance, in January 2021, Oxford Nanopore collaborated with NVIDIA for integrating NVIDIA DGX Station A100 in PromethION, the company's ultra-high-throughput sequencing system. This integration of AI and computing tools allows for faster and more accurate DNA and RNA sequencing, increasing availability of nanopore sequencing data.
In 2020, North America was responsible for 44.19% of the total market share. Many factors are responsible for the growth of the region's market, including the presence of key players and extensive R&D activities. Also, high healthcare spending. The market is also growing due to an expanding number of drug approvals. Biogen Inc. was granted the U.S. FDA approval in February 2021 for PLEGRIDY (peginterferon alpha-1a), which is used to treat multiple sclerosis relapsing. This approval will expand the company's portfolio of multiple sclerosis treatments.
Asia Pacific will experience the fastest expansion rate of 16.8% between 2021 and 2028. The region's growth can be attributed to improved healthcare infrastructure, supportive policies by the government, clinical trials services and other epidemiological factors. For the sake of accelerating the growth of biotechnology, foreign companies have been collaborating extensively with local businesses. Bayer AG and Monsanto India entered into a USD 63 Billion merger agreement in September 2019. This led to Bayer CropScience Ltd being formed. This will allow Bayer to incorporate Monsanto’s knowledge in digital farming and seeds into its product portfolio.
Different business development strategies are used by companies to expand their product portfolio, including acquisitions, mergers and agreements. F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. acquired Inflazome in September 2020. This Irish biotechnology company specializes in inflammasome inhibitions. This acquisition will grant the company the rights to Inflazome’s entire portfolio of small molecules of NLRP3 inhibitors, both clinically and preclinically. The company also plans to develop NLRP3 inhibitions that can be used for a variety of indications. The following are some of the major players in the global biotechnology industry:
