Executive Summary

Nucleic acid drugs have a long history, but they have reached the status of a new therapeutic segment in recent years. Two major reasons have been the success of the COVID-19 vaccines, which are based on the mRNA and use lipid molecules for delivery. The second major reason is the increasing approval of nucleic acid drugs. Nucleic acid drugs are poised to treat “undruggable” diseases and rare diseases. They are also being researched for the treatment of chronic conditions and infectious diseases.

The last five years saw approval of siRNA-based drugs. These comprise a different class of nucleic acid drugs that cannot be delivered naked in the human body. Hence there is a need for these molecules to be attached to a delivery agent. The market for nucleic acid drugs is expanding, so a growing demand for the drug delivery agents is also increasing. Drug delivery has been a restricting point in the application of nucleic acid drugs. There is therefore constant research and development regarding the drug delivery systems of nucleic acid drugs.

The major driver of the market includes the increasing investment in the nucleic acid drug segment. The nucleic acid companies have been attracting investments from various sources, such as venture capitalists and seed investments. Even big pharmaceutical companies are keeping a close watch on new companies for mergers and acquisitions. The drugs currently available on the market are targeted toward rare diseases, and such drugs are allocated orphan drug status. They enjoy many benefits such as faster approval and even tax benefits, which are major drivers for the market. The opportunity to target undruggable diseases is also huge and will spur the market forward.

The major restraint affecting market growth is the addition of other technologies, such as CSPIR. The regulations are also not globally uniform, and they vary drastically for nucleic acid drugs. Another major restraint is the high prices of such drugs, which limit their access. The awareness level for such diseases is also low, which negatively impacts the market.
