Plant molecular farming hold promising potentials for the rapid production of biologics on an industrial scale. Companies in the plant-based vaccines market are capitalizing on this opportunity during the pandemic to increase research expenditure in plant biopharming in addition to its prospective applications for developing effective vaccines and antibodies to counter COVID-19.
Obstacles in Development of 3rd Generation Vaccines Affecting Market Growth
The plant-based vaccines market is projected to expand at a favorable CAGR of 7.38% during the assessment period. However, manufacturers are facing obstacles in the development of 3rd generation vaccines. Hence, companies are taking progressive steps to produce effective vaccines against human and animal-associated diseases by increasing their research expenditure. As such, high cost production and time-consuming production of traditional vaccines are translating into revenue opportunities for companies in the plant-based vaccines market.
The plant-based vaccine technology is based on the insertion of the encoded protein with the desired gene for the specific disease into the plant genome by several methods. The most popular method for the production of vaccines by plant is Agrobacterium mediated gene transformation, which is genetically modified with plant viruses and used to generate plant vaccines.
Low Up-front Investment, Time Efficiency Helpful in Plant-based Vaccine Production
Plant-based production saves months in initial setup time compared with competing recombinant protein methods. iBio’s FastPharming® system is gaining recognition for using plants as bioreactors, which eliminates the need for expensive and labor-intensive cell line development with respect to traditional vaccines. Such factors are contributing to the growth of the plant-based vaccines market.
The required up-front investment for plant-based vaccine production is less expensive as compared to mammalian cell culture systems. Tight control of posttranslational modifications (PTMs) is being made possible with robust plant-based expression technologies, owing to increased molecule quality and potency.
Companies Consider Technicalities for Production of Recombinant Vaccine Antigens in Plant Systems
The plant-based vaccine production for humans and animals has been under serious consideration to overcome issues associated with biosafety, cost, and distribution. Plant biotechnology is bringing new insights to vaccines research through gene transfer strategies to plants and improvements in amount, isolation, and purification for the production of recombinant vaccine against antigens in plants.
Significant increase in world population and emergence of epidemic & pandemic diseases are key drivers of the plant-based vaccines market. Since plant produce complex proteins similar to other eukaryotic systems, researchers are modifying these proteins with the help of clinical trials. Companies in the plant-based vaccines market are taking into consideration the plant transformation and the production of recombinant protein in plants for the production of recombinant vaccine antigens in plant systems.
Analysts’ Viewpoint
Novel diseases, such as COVID-19, Ebola, and Zika, among others, are fueling the requirement of dynamic vaccine research and investment using plant systems. The plant-based vaccines market is undergoing a significant change with plant-based expression technologies that help to reduce cost and time associated with traditional vaccines. However, manufacturers are facing challenges in the development of 3rd generation vaccines. Hence, companies should use enhanced technologies that include electroporation, sonication, and biolistic methods to develop 3rd generation plant vaccines. These methods are helping in the production of edible vaccines that suit the convenience of individuals and effective against human and animal-associated diseases.
Plant-based Vaccines Market: Overview
According to Transparency Market Research’s latest research report on the global plant-based vaccines market for the historical period of 2017–2019 and the forecast period of 2021–2031, increase in incidence of infections, government initiatives for expansion of vaccination coverage, and government funding for vaccine development are projected to drive the global plant-based vaccines market in the near future
According to the report, the global plant-based vaccines market was valued at US$ 1.10 Bn in 2020, and it is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 7.38% from 2021 to 2031
Increase in Incidence of Infections: Key Driver
Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases are deemed to be a public health threat worldwide. A need for constant awareness and readiness, and preparedness to deal with infectious disease outbreaks, which may cause a dangerous threat to the public, has been observed.
According to the BioMed Central Ltd (part of Springer Nature), the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention defined syndromic surveillance (SS) as surveillance using health-related data that precedes diagnosis and signals a sufficient probability of a case or an outbreak to warrant further public health response
Furthermore, high prevalence of infectious diseases, such as hepatitis, tuberculosis, retroviral infections, and endocrine disorders, viz., diabetes, thyroid disorders, etc., is likely to drive the demand for rapid diagnostics test readers during the forecast period
According to the World Health Organization, in 2016, more than 71 million people were affected with hepatitis C infection globally. Moreover, according to the HIV.gov website, around 36.7 million people were living with HIV/AIDS worldwide by the end of 2016.
Thus, high prevalence and rise in incidence rate of infectious diseases across the globe is a key driver of the market
Increase in Incidence Rate of Influenza: Major Driver
Influenza is a respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses and spreads easily. Influenza viruses undergo constant genetic change, which has substantial impact on induced immunity and considerations for vaccine composition.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), when an infected person coughs or sneezes, droplets containing viruses (infectious droplets) are dispersed into the air and can spread up to one meter, and infect persons in close proximity who breathe these droplets in
People should cover their mouth and nose with a tissue while coughing and wash their hands regularly in order to prevent transmission
Hence, increase in incidence rate of influenza drives the global plant-based vaccines market
