GLOBAL DNA AND GENE CLONING SERVICES MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
Cloning refers to a process of creating identical copies of DNA and genes that are used in various research and therapeutic applications. Advancements in cloning and genetic engineering techniques enable researchers to modify the genome of microorganisms and use them to produce gene therapies. These target-specific gene therapies have shown significant potential in the treatment of serious disease indications such as AIDS, cystic fibrosis, and others. Moreover, it is worth noting that DNA and gene cloning often play a significant role in the production of antibiotics, hormones, and vitamins. As a result, due to the several applications of DNA and gene cloning, many researchers have taken the initiative to construct gene libraries that comprise cloned DNA. However, the DNA and gene cloning processes may pose complications such as gene toxicity, unstable DNA elements, and the requirement of particular gene insert sizes and vectors. To address the concerns, several industrial stakeholders have begun to outsource DNA and gene cloning to obtain high-quality and stable final products.

Currently, there are several service providers available in the field with the required expertise and technological support to meet the demand for DNA clones. It is worth highlighting here that comprehensive research has been conducted on DNA cloning technologies; this is evident from over 6,900 research articles that have been published on various research websites for DNA cloning technologies in the past few decades. The ongoing demand for gene therapies and the growing adoption of advanced DNA cloning technologies are anticipated to grow the market at a steady rate during the forecast period.
