Industrial Applications of Recombinant DNA Technology: Enzymes, Biocatalysts, and More

Recombinant DNA Technology Market Growth & Trends

The global Recombinant DNA Technology Market size is expected to reach USD 1,067.1 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The success of genetically engineered human insulin in diabetes treatment has triggered the development of many other recombinant therapeutics and drugs. This has translated to the huge success of Recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology. This technology has offered significant prospects for elucidating the gap between disease and its effective treatment.

Widespread successful application of this technique in veterinary product development, genetically modified crop development, biopesticides & biofuel production, and gene therapy, are expected to spur the adoption of this technology throughout the forecast period.

The use of Genetically Modified (GM) products, such as GM animals, developed using the rDNA method are found to be indispensable to accelerate medical research. Furthermore, more than 3000 scientific studies have been carried out to assess GM product safety in context to its impact on human health and the environment.

In addition, there is a rising need to improve the recombinant proteins’ production capacity by several folds, owing to an increase in demand for effective therapeutics for disease treatment. The aforementioned fact pronounces the technological advances in this sector thus driving growth.

As per Monsanto and other proponents of GM crops, genetic engineering is one of the fastest and widely adopted agricultural innovations over the past few years. This, in turn, is expected to bolster the adoption of rDNA technology for non-traditional applications.
