In some of the least developed countries, it already contributes more than 25%. Increasing demands of crop improvement in agriculture now fuel the larger adoption of gene editing technologies.

Expansion in Healthcare Sector Boosts the Market Growth

The expansion in healthcare sector significantly increases the base editing market demand for advanced gene-editing technologies to develop targeted therapies and provides the ability to make specific adjustments in DNA for curing genetic disorders, and other diseases. The World Bank Group states that the health expenditure per capita accounted for USD 1,265 in 2021 as compared to USD 1,179 in 2020, representing a growth of 6.8% within a year. This surge in healthcare spending highlights the growing need for innovative gene editing solutions including base editing to meet complex medical challenges that ultimately fuels the growth of the market.

High Cost for Developing Base Editing Technologies Hinders Market Growth

The high upfront costs required for developing and deploying base editing technologies along with the time-consuming nature of research and development activities hinders the growth of the market. 

Incorporation of Artificial Intelligence Creates Future Opportunities

The integration of artificial intelligence in base editing is expected to create significant growth opportunities by analysing large genomic datasets to identify optimal target sequences and predict the outcomes of genetic modifications thereby, reducing research time and costs. Thus, the adoption of AI streamlines the development of innovative solutions for various applications in medicine and agriculture that makes work faster and more efficient.
