The Viral Vector Manufacturing market has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by the increasing demand for gene therapies and advancements in biotechnology. Gene delivery vectors play a pivotal role in the development of gene therapies, making viral vector production a crucial aspect of the biopharmaceutical industry.
Gene delivery vectors are essential vehicles that transport therapeutic genes into target cells, facilitating the expression of desired proteins and correcting genetic abnormalities. Among the various types of gene delivery vectors, viral vectors stand out for their efficiency in delivering genetic material. These vectors are derived from viruses, modified to carry therapeutic genes without causing disease. Adenovirus, lentivirus, and adeno-associated virus (AAV) are common viral vectors used in gene therapy.
Viral vector production, a key process within vector manufacturing, involves the development and manufacturing of viral vectors that can efficiently deliver therapeutic genes into target cells. This process requires advanced biotechnological techniques and stringent quality control measures to ensure the safety and efficacy of the vectors produced.
Recent Development
Kite Pharma, a division of Gilead Sciences, previously revealed plans to construct a new viral vector manufacturing plant. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave the new plant the go-ahead for commercial production last year. It is employed in producing viral vectors for cell therapy and Yescarta®, the company's first commercially available CAR T (chimeric antigen receptor T) cell treatment. The new facility enhances Kite Pharma's CAR T-cell treatment development capacity, manufacture, supply, and future pipeline items.
To manufacture viral gene therapies, oncolytic viruses, and viral vaccines for clinical trials, Diosynth Biotechnologies, a contract development, and production organization partner, recently finished a new facility in Darlington, UK. This facility is now cGMP operational. The company's dedication to producing early-stage clinical trials (first-in-human) experimental viral vector medicines and investment in the new facility are highlighted. Cell culture capacity up to 200 L, segregated viral and non-viral suites, and state-of-the-art high isolation clean rooms are all available at the cGMP site in Darlington.
The market for viral vector manufacturing is driven by the increasing prevalence of genetic disorders, coupled with the rising investments in research and development activities in the field of gene therapy. Additionally, technological advancements in vector manufacturing techniques, such as viral vector engineering and optimization, are further fueling market growth.
