The global optogenetics market was valued at $114.1 million in 2022, and is projected to reach $196.3 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2023 to 2032. Optogenetics is a field of neuroscience that involves the use of light to control the activity of cells that have been genetically modified to be light-sensitive. It is a technique that uses genetically encoded light-sensitive proteins called opsins, to manipulate the activity of neurons in-vivo. These opsins act as ion channels that are activated by different wavelengths of light, enabling fast and targeted manipulation of neural activity. By selectively targeting opsin expression to specific cells, researchers can investigate the neural activity and pathological behaviors. Optogenetics has been primarily used in animal models, and could be applied in the development of new therapies for neurological and psychiatric disorders in humans.
The optogenetics market growth is driven by rise in development of advanced optogenetic tools such as genetically-encoded light-sensitive proteins, Increase in demand for neuroscience research, and rise in adoption of optogenetics in academic and research institutions. Optogenetics is a powerful tool for studying the brain and nervous system, therefore it is a used for neuroscience research and drives the market growth. For instance, researchers are developing new optogenetic implant for the treatment of patients suffering from multiple sclerosis. In addition, some of the preclinical studies have shown that optogenetic therapy can restore light sensitivity and improve visual function in animal suffering from inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD). Therefore, rise in demand for neuroscience research drives the growth of the market.
For instance, newly developed microbial opsins respond to different wavelengths of light, allowing researchers to target specific neurons with greater precision. Furthermore, development of novel opsins, laser sources, and imaging technologies to improve the effectiveness of optogenetic studies, further contribute toward the market growth.
