Proliferating Demand for Personalized Medicine Boosts Asia Pacific Bioprocessing Market

The transformation of the healthcare industry from one-size-fits-all to a targeted approach is expanding the demand for personalized medicine. Precision medicine is being considered as one of the most promising approaches to tackle health concerns such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and rare genetic conditions. Innovations in the production of personalized medicines are likely to impact the entire sector, and single-use technologies aimed at smaller-volume production have potential applications in protein bioproduction, particularly in downstream processes. Personalized and differentiated approaches to medicine are leading to a need for a wider range of products-many of them for a relatively small group of patients.

Therefore, a fundamentally different approach to the production and delivery of biological products may be required. Precision medicine utilizes the genomic information of an individual to offer targeted treatment for a particular indication. The growing number of orphan diseases has increased the demand for biologics and drugs, which has subsequently boosted the growth of personalized medicines. In 2019, the FDA approved ~12 personalized medications for addressing the root causes of disease and further integrated precision medicine with clinical care. Also, increasing government efforts are strengthening personalized medicine research activities.

For instance, in February 2020, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) announced to establish a new precision medicine and genomics program. This program focuses on the innovation of genomics and informatics tools for better diagnosis and treatment of disease. Personalized medicines leverage advances in genetics and bioinformatics to target specific patient populations and treat previously untreatable diseases.

Personalized medicine uses bioprocessing techniques to develop tailored therapies. From isolating specific cells to developing patient-specific treatments, bioprocessing steps are essential for producing treatments tailored to each patient. Therefore, the rising demand for personalized medicine is predicted to offer significant growth opportunities to the players operating in the bioprocessing market during the forecast period.
