AAV vectors (Adeno-associated virus vectors) are viruses that are employed in gene therapy to transfer genetic information into cells. It may infect a variety of cells and enable long-term gene expression without eliciting strong immune reactions. The rising demand for gene therapy, advancements in AAV technology, development of new AAV vector serotypes, growing application of AAV vectors in gene editing, increased demand for personalized therapies, and regulatory support are factors driving AAV vector market growth. Additionally, AAV vectors are safe, efficient, and has the ability to persist in cells, thereby, further contributing in the market expansion.

Impact of AI on the Market:

An AAV (adeno-associated virus) vector, frequently utilized in gene therapy, is greatly influenced by artificial intelligence (AI), which facilitates the design and enhancement of AAV capsids, resulting in better tissue targeting, diminished immune response, and increased delivery efficiency for gene therapies, thereby speeding up the development process and creating new possibilities for treating multiple diseases.

Key Drivers of Target Market:

Rising Demand for Gene Therapy is Skyrocketing the Market Expansion

AAV vectors are currently thought to be the most effective platform for delivering genes in gene therapy treatments, so as more gene therapies are created and used, the need for AAV vectors to deliver those genes also grows significantly. This is due to the safety profile, ability to target different tissues, and long-term expression potential of AAV vectors in comparison to other gene delivery systems. As a result, the market for AAV vectors is growing as a direct result of the growing demand for gene therapy.

• For instance, in September 2024, Asimov, the synthetic biology company advancing the design and production of therapeutics, announced the launch of the AAV Edge System, a comprehensive suite of tools for adeno-associated viral (AAV) gene therapy design and manufacturing. The system provided gene therapy developers a single access point to an array of best-in-class tools to supercharge gene therapy development.

Restraints:

Restricted Packaging Capacity of AAV Vectors is Obstructing the Market Growth

AAV vectors possess a restricted packaging capacity, which limit its application for transporting large genes or intricate genetic circuits in gene therapy, complicating the treatment of conditions that necessitate the delivery of oversized or several genes in one vector.

• Counterbalance Statements: To overcome this obstacle, alternative strategies such as dual-vector systems or non-viral methods, and developing new capsids, could enhance delivery effectiveness for more extensive genetic payloads.

Opportunities:

More Efficient AAV Vector Product Will Unlock Growth Potential in the Upcoming Years

Enhanced efficiency of AAV vector production will drive the market's expansion by drastically lowering manufacturing costs and enabling the production of high-quality vectors on a larger scale. This will make AAV-based gene therapies more widely accessible, enable more clinical trials, and possibly speed up the release of additional treatments.

• For instance, in March 2024, Polyplus, had announced the introduction of pPLUS AAV-RC2, a groundbreaking RepCap plasmid tailored for the production of adeno-associated virus vector 2 (AAV2). The pPLUS AAV-RC2 plasmid, was designed to streamline the manufacturing process for AAV vectors, offering a ready-to-use solution that enhanced both efficiency and reliability in vector production.

This is due to its ability to efficiently transduce a wide range of tissues without causing significant immune response, it helps in keeping the gene expression in the body for long-term, and it causes minimal pathogenicity. 

• For instance, in October 2024, Dyno Therapeutics, Inc., a genetic technologies company applying artificial intelligence (AI) to enable in vivo gene delivery, announced its second research collaboration with Roche to develop next-generation adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors for gene therapies targeting neurological diseases. Under the terms of this new collaboration, Dyno Therapeutics provided Roche further access to the company’s field-leading platform and sequence design technologies enabling in vivo gene delivery.

Target Therapeutic Area

On the foundation of target therapeutic area, the market is sub-segmented into genetic disorders, hematological disorders, infectious disorders, metabolic disorders, ophthalmic disorders, muscle disorders, neurological disorders, and others. The neurological disorders segment is projected to dominate the market due to the success of AAV gene therapy in treating neurological diseases, including muscular dystrophy, retinal dystrophy, and spinal muscular atrophy.

• For instance, in May 2024, Voyager Therapeutics, Inc., a biotechnology company dedicated to advancing neurogenetic medicines, announced the presentation of data related to its TRACER capsid discovery platform, which was AAV vector capsid derived, and TRACER-driven gene therapy programs for neurological diseases at the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy’s (ASGCT) 27th annual meeting.

Application Area

Under application area, the market is trifurcated into gene therapy, cell therapy, and vaccines. The gene therapy segment is estimated to lead the market due to the growing demand for gene therapy in treating genetic disorders, as it has low immunogenicity, has the ability to effectively transduce a wide range of cells, long-term gene expression, and have minimal side effects.

• For instance, in December 2024, Genethon, the Telethon laboratory, and Hansa Biopharma, announced the launch of a phase 2 trial in patients suffering from Crigler-Najjar disease, a rare liver disorder, and presented with pre-existing neutralising antibodies against AAV vectors. The trial would evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single intravenous injection of the gene therapy developed by Genethon, after pre-treatment with imlifidase, a unique antibody-cleaving enzyme developed by Hansa. 

End-User

Dependent on end-user, the market is branched into hospitals, clinics, research institutes, biopharmaceutical companies, and others. The biopharmaceutical companies segment has the highest growth rate due to its heavy investment in developing gene therapies that utilize AAV vectors, leading to a high demand for AAV production to conduct clinical trials and eventually bring gene therapies to the market.

• For instance, in May 2023, AGC Biologics announced the launch of its BravoAAV and ProntoLVV viral vector platforms. Leveraging three decades of Lentiviral vector (LVV) and Adeno-Associated Viral vector (AAV) development, manufacturing and analytical experience, AGC Biologics’ new platforms offered fast, efficient and reproducible clinical and commercial GMP production and release.
