Synthetic biology has an array of applications in the fields of medicine, agriculture, nanotechnology, and industrial biotechnology. This has attracted interests of researchers from across the globe and has led to a rise in funding from public and private organizations, which, in turn, help in the growth of the market.
The synthetic biology market comprises a network of players involved in the research and product development; raw material supply; component manufacturing; distribution and sale; and post-sales services.
Key players considered in the analysis of the global market are Thermo Fisher (US), Novozymes (Denmark), Merck KGaA (Germany), Intrexon (US), and Agilent Technologies (US), Amyris (US), GenScript (US), Ginkgo Bioworks (US), Integrated DNA Technologies (US), New England Biolabs (US), Synthetic Genomics (US), and Twist Bioscience (US).
In this report, the market is segmented by tool, technology, application, and region. On the basis tool, the synthetic biology market is segmented into oligonucleotides, enzymes, cloning technology kits, chassis organisms, and xeno-nucleic acids. The chassis organisms segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. The increasing demand for green alternatives (biomass is converted to chemicals using engineered bacteria, yeasts, and other microorganisms) to fossil fuels is a key driver for this segment.
By technology, the market is segmented into gene synthesis, genome engineering, cloning and sequencing, next-generation sequencing, site-directed mutagenesis, measurement and modeling, microfluidics, and nanotechnology. In 2017, the gene synthesis segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market in technology.
The market is segmented into medical (pharmaceutical, drug discovery & therapeutics, and artificial tissue and tissue regeneration), industrial (biofuel & renewable energy, industrial enzymes, and biomaterials & green chemicals), food & agriculture, and environmental (bioremediation and biosensing) on the basis of application.
