The global market for synthetic biology was valued at $15.4 billion in 2023. The market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.1% to reach $61.6 billion by the end of 2029. Several factors make the synthetic biology industry a prime candidate for growth. First, there are a lot of synthetic biology applications with sizable addressable markets and a slow penetration rate; as these rates rise, the industry will grow rapidly. Second, industry innovation is being propelled by the creation of fascinating new technologies. These technologies include novel gene editing platforms, enzymatic DNA synthesis, and ultra-high-throughput screening platforms for organism design. Third, the industry is emphasizing value-added products more than commodity, price-sensitive products.

These days, synthetic biology foundries regularly create, construct, and test designer organisms that can yield profitable end products. The process involves changing the genomes of these organisms to create the ideal blend of flavor and texture for the food industry. In the textile industry, designer organisms aid in achieving the ideal balance of weight, dimensional variability, strength, flexibility, and targeted surface and structural modification. These kinds of high-value synthetic biology end products are expected to propel this industry’s substantial market expansion.
