This research service investigates technologies that propel the development of new targeted immunotherapies, particularly those that deliver therapeutic DNA and proteins. The top 3 growth opportunities focus on enhanced gene delivery systems for greater precision, the support of such systems through novel biotech platforms, and the affordability of...

The Frost & Sullivan research service discusses the cell and gene therapy (CGT) market and highlights some key roadblocks in viral vector manufacturing. While many CGT candidates exist in the pipeline, there is a huge capacity deficit that the industry is collaboratively trying to address. Scalability, costs, reproducibility, and overall process ef...

RNA therapeutics is a rapidly expanding field of next-generation medicine. RNA therapy typically comprises 4 different classes of molecules: non-codingRNA (ncRNA), antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), messengerRNA (mRNA), and RNA aptamer. Small ncRNAs are like a double-edged sword; they can either up- or down-regulate specific genes. Contrarily, long...

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) provides an alternative to invasive, higher-risk tests such as amniocentesis, requiring a maternal blood sample to obtain cell-free DNA from both mother and fetus for analysis. Since NIPTs debut in 2011, laboratories and testing companies have made incremental upgrades to their non-invasive screens, improving ac...

RNA therapeutics is a rapidly expanding area of next-generation biological drugs. RNA is a versatile molecule and naturally regulates gene expression, either by upregulation or downregulation. This function is employed to design novel RNA therapeutics. The fundamentals of RNA therapeutics consists of delivering functional RNA at a target; however, ...

Pharmaceutical drug discovery and development suffers from declining success rates with new molecules, and the rate of return has shrunk from 16% in 2011 to almost 11% in 2018. Frost & Sullivan finds that traditional solutions focused primarily on data from limited sources and rule-based computational techniques used to address the understanding of...

The pharmaceuticals market in Africa is expected to reach a business opportunity of $45 billion in 2020, propelled by a convergence of changing economic profiles, rapid urbanisation, increased healthcare spending and investment, and increasing incidence of chronic lifestyle diseases. The tropical climate of Africa makes the continent the largest re...

Given the ever-increasing cost of care, healthcare delivery is moving towards decentralisation. Service delivery from health settings such as mobile clinics, rapid retail clinics, and home settings demands the use of new-age clinic laboratory diagnostics. Effective delivery of healthcare services has created a business and technology convergence be...

The treatment of rare diseases requires the use of specialized drugs. Patient populations for rare diseases are most often quite small, consequently the products treating them earn the designation orphan drugs. These drugs must undergo the research, development, and clinical trials that all drugs do, yet the investment into the development is great...
