Market Overview:

What are the Reasons for the Demand for RNA-Based Therapies?

Many recent studies indicate an extraordinary surge in the international market for RNA-based therapies (including both mRNA and therapeutic products derived from RNA delivery systems) due to an increased need for innovative therapies to treat infectious diseases, genetic-related disorders (including cancers), and especially rare diseases.

With multiple innovations in the use of modularity, scalability, speed, and regulatory acceptability associated with RNA-based platforms (including vaccines and other applications of RNA for therapeutic purposes), there has been an even greater increase in the amount of funding available for research and development related to these platforms and, therefore, an even greater demand for RNA-based therapy products.

By 2024, the RNA-based vaccine and therapeutic industry will shift from a "niche-oriented research phase" to a generalised, widespread application. This trend is corroborated by several displayed elements of the pharmaceutical industry

Key Drifts:

Extending beyond infectious diseases into oncology

Significant Challenge:

While the potential for RNA based therapeutics is great, there are still significant barriers that need to be overcome in order for RNA products to be commercialised. These include instability of RNA products, delivery to cells, a cold-chain storage requirement and a complex regulatory pathway. These factors hinder development and increase the total cost of production. In addition, the barriers will further complicate the ability to produce and distribute RNA products globally, especially in lower and middle-income countries that lack distribution infrastructure.

Segmental Insights:

By Type of Modality:

For the mRNA vaccines and therapeutics segment, it has the biggest share of the market in 2024 at 38%. The reason for the 38% share is due to the strong clinical validation of the non-replicating mRNA technologies, which are scalable, safe, and adaptable to accelerate vaccine development. Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly utilising traditional mRNA technologies for vaccines against infectious diseases, oncology candidates and new potential personalised therapies. In addition, continuing improvements in mRNA stabilisation and cold-chain optimisation as well as LNP delivery systems have aided in the commercial adoption of mRNA by regulatory authorities.

Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) and Replicons will record the fastest growth (2025–2034). The projected growth is attributed to the ability of these platforms to produce a much larger amount of protein at a drastically reduced dose than that of conventional mRNA platforms. This next generation of RNA has the potential for a more robust immune response, reduced costs associated with the production of each dose and to allow for large-scale vaccination efforts in resource-limited countries.

By Therapeutic Area / Indication

Infectious disease and vaccine is projected to be the leading segment for market revenue generation in 2024, accounting for about 36% of total market revenue, due to the ongoing global demand for vaccines, expansion of immunisation initiatives and increased preparedness for the emergence of numerous viral threats. The use of mRNA platforms is also being utilised for vaccines for various viral respiratory diseases, such as seasonal flu, RSV and COVID-19 variants, as well as progressing RNA-based vaccine initiatives against HIV, Zika and malaria. The commercialisation of these vaccines has been increased due to the provision of government support through funding and creation of public/private partnerships and the use of accelerated regulatory pathways to bring mRNA vaccines to market.

This is expected to be the fastest growing segment of the market from 2025 to 2034, therefore is projected to be driven by an increasing interest in precision medicine ability to correct gene expression

By Product/Offering type:

The finished drug products led the market with the largest share in 2024. Finished Drug Products will continue to be the most widely used product types within the market and will have broad-based demand as the market begins to develop several different types of“ready-to-use” RNA vaccines, therapies, and combined products, as well as allow for larger-scale production of finished drug products via the use of pre-filled syringes and vials for the RNA injection market.

The highest market growth rate between 2025 and 2034 is projected to occur for the Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) and Contract Development Services Market. As the amount of data and documentation related to RNA development, synthesis, formulation, analytics, and production continues to increase, CDMO's are likely to provide the greatest amount of growth for this segment because they have become the preferred method used by most biotechnology companies when developing RNA-based therapeutic candidates. CDMO's allow biopharmaceutical companies to avoid spending capital-intensive upfront investments into building and operating dedicated RNA production facilities.

By delivery and enabling technologies:

The leading segment in the market is projected to be the LNP & Ionizable lipid segments, with a predicted market share of 34% in 2024. Most of the growth within RNA Therapeutics Delivery will continue to be supported by the proven safety and stability, along with the relative delivery efficiencies of LNPs and Ionizable Lipids as effective delivery vehicles for delivering both mRNA-based and RNA products. As a result of LNP's proven effectiveness as delivery systems for mRNA-based Therapeutics, LNP-based products remain the standard for delivering mRNA-based therapeutic candidates, as LNP's protect the RNA from the environment and have a high ability to specifically target and release the RNA to the target cells.

Novel lipid chemistry, or new lipid chemistries are projected to have the fastest growth of any segment in the RNA Therapeutics Technology segment, as RNA Developers are focused on developing the next generation of RNA Delivery Technologies. Several categories of innovation exist within this segment; Biodegradable Lipids, New Ionizable Lipid Alternatives, Targeted Lipids, and Customizable Nanoparticle Architectures for Organ-Specific versus Systemic Delivery. The ultimate goal of developing Novel Lipid Chemistries is to address the three major limitations of current RNA Therapeutic Candidates; Toxicity, Tolerance of Repeated Doses, and Delivery Accuracy.

By End Users:

Large pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies represented the largest share 45% of the industry during 2024; their strong financial ability, comprehensive research and development pipelines, and advanced understanding of regulatory processes allow them to create and market RNA therapies quickly. The size of these firms also permits the establishment of a wide network of supply chain partners and, in some cases, to manage "end-to-end" capabilities of the business model (from the time they produce their product until it is available for sale).

Between 2025 and 2034, the segment referred to as contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) and contract development manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) are expected to grow rapidly as biopharmaceutical companies continue to transfer production of their RNA-based products to CDMO and CMO partners. The services offered by CDMO/CMOs include: (i) advanced capabilities such as high-throughput RNA synthesis, sterile fill-finish services and the ability to produce scalable liposomal nanoparticle formulations, together with (ii) a commitment to producing products under GMP conditions.
