Mercado Europeu de Reagentes e Equipamentos de Transfecção – Tendências da Indústria e Previsão para 2030

Análise e insights do mercado de reagentes e equipamentos de transfecção na Europa

A transfecção envolve a introdução de ácido nucleico nas células eucarióticas por métodos virais e não virais. O método de transfecção pode superar o desafio de transferir a membrana carregada negativamente. Produtos químicos como o fosfato de cálcio e o dietilaminoetil (DEAE)-dextrano ou reagente catiónico à base de lípidos reagem com a camada exterior de ADN. Neutraliza a carga negativa global, transmite a quantidade positiva à molécula e, portanto, permite a entrega do ADN. Métodos físicos como a eletroporação criam poros minúsculos na membrana celular através da aplicação de voltagem elétrica, permitindo a entrada do ADN diretamente no citoplasma. O DEAE-dextrano é utilizado para transfecção transitória; no entanto, a lipofecção pode atingir uma transfecção estável e, por isso, pode ser utilizada para a expressão proteica a longo prazo. A transfecção mediada por fosfato de cálcio também pode ser utilizada para a transfecção estável. O método de transfecção viral atinge uma elevada eficiência e é utilizado em diversas fases do desenvolvimento de produtos farmacêuticos.

O método de transfecção é utilizado para diversas aplicações que envolvem a agricultura para a proteção das culturas e aumento do rendimento, para a produção de produtos de biologia sintética para realçar sabores e fragrâncias e para melhorar proteínas unicelulares, entre outras. A procura de transfecção aumentou tanto nos países desenvolvidos como nos países em desenvolvimento, e a razão por detrás disto é a ocorrência crescente de doenças crónicas. O mercado da transfecção está a crescer devido à crescente procura de genes quiméricos e à utilização de biofármacos na produção de proteínas. O mercado crescerá no período de previsão devido à exploração dos mercados emergentes, às iniciativas estratégicas dos participantes do mercado e ao aumento do apoio governamental.

Espera-se que o elevado custo dos instrumentos, a eficácia seletiva do reagente de transfeção e os danos celulares induzidos pelos métodos de transfeção restrinjam o crescimento do mercado de reagentes e equipamentos de transfeção na Europa.

O mercado está a crescer devido a diversas iniciativas estratégicas adotadas pelos players do mercado que envolvem aquisição, colaboração e parceria.

Synthetic biology involves the chemical synthesis of DNA by combining the knowledge of genomics to reassemble the DNA genomes. The synthetic biology that sequences into the new genes involves genetic engineering, which incorporates the transfection method, among others. As the demand for synthetic biology products is increasing worldwide, the use of transfection products is also increasing.

The demand for synthetic biology products is increasing due to the increasing demand for effective and innovative products. The manufacturing of synthetic products enhances the demand for transfection products, as gene transfer can be accompanied by the transfection method, among others. Thus, this signifies that synthetic product development drives the Europe transfection Reagent and equipment market growth.

Restraint

• CELL DAMAGE INDUCED BY TRANSFECTION PROCEDURE

Some transfection methods have been reported to cause cell damage, reducing the reproducibility of the overall method. Among the several kinds of transfection procedures, electroporation has been reported to cause maximum cell damage as per the increase in voltage. This cell damage lowers the efficiency rate and impacts the ongoing project.

One of the most common side effects of the transfection procedure is cell damage which lowers the cells metabolic events and leads to cell death. This damaged cell can enhance the media toxicity and hence produces inappropriate results. Thus, this suggests that cell damage induced by the transfection procedure acts as a restraint for the Europe transfection Reagent and equipment market growth.

Opportunity

• EXPLORATION OF EMERGING MARKET

The transfection products have been shown as promising tools for the genetic engineering and proteomic industry. The top market for transfection products is in Europe and North America. By looking at the positive outcomes of these products, many market players are penetrating their roots in growing economies involving China and India, among others. The emerging market allows these market players to combat the loss that arises from the well-established market.

As emerging markets allow the market players to overcome the economic downturn specified to particular established markets, investment and exploration of emerging markets allow the market players to engage in the development and manufacturing of transfection products to attain lucrative growth. Thus, this signifies that exploring emerging markets is an opportunity to grow the Europe transfection Reagent and equipment market.

Challenge

• LONG APPROVAL PROCEDURE

The long approval procedure for transfection Reagent and instruments is a hindering agent for the growth of the transfection market. Transfection products are subjected to extensive regulations and have to monitor every time. The transfection products are widely used for the insertion of desired gene molecules in a particular cell line to obtain proteins and other biological compounds. This process is thus investigated and approved by the long and strict regulatory procedures. The long process required to get a positive result from every conducted clinical trial led to more time consumption and the investment of lots of money by market players.

The transfection Reagent are mostly subjected to 21CFR parts 210 and 211 U.S. FDA guidelines, according to which the manufacturers had to assure that the reagent manufactured meets the safety, packaging and processing characteristics proposed by the regulatory agencies. The owner or manufacturer has to submit licenses under section 351 of the PHS (Public Health Services) Act, which is quite a tedious procedure. Thus, this signifies that long approval procedures challenge the Europe transfection Reagent and equipment market growth.
