Market Insight

A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within archaea and bacteria. These are composed of a nucleic acid molecule that surrounded by protein structure. It attracts itself to a susceptible bacterium and infects the host cell. It prevents it from producing bacterial components. Bacteriophages can infect and kill bacteria without any negative effect on animal or human cells.

Bacteriophages are an efficient tool used in modern biotechnology through several types of research to advocate the potential usage of bacteriophages in various applications. The rising use of biocontrol agents in the petroleum and agriculture industry will augment the growth of the bacteriophage market. The increasing research and development funding for investigating bacteriophage therapy in clinical applications boosts the growth of the bacteriophage market. Further, bacteriophages are used as vaccine vehicles for detecting pathogenic bacterial strain complement market growth. The growing demand for bacteriophages as display systems in various antibodies and proteins stimulate the development of bacteriophage market. In addition, bacteriophages are a diverse group of viruses that can be manipulated and thus have applications in research, therapeutics, and biotechnology. Phages control the bacterial population and also contribute to moving genes from one bacterium to another. Additionally, the study of bacteriophage particles provide insights into genome evolution, DNA expression, bacterial evolution, and develop new biotechnologies. The growing phase therapy with incessant growth in bacterial resistance to the majority of antibiotics promotes the use of lytic phase particles. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of bacteriophages in food biopreservation, corrosion control, biofilm control, bacterial biosensing services, and phage-display based selection of biological affinity led to the growth of the market. On the flip side, high cost for therapy of bacteriophage therapy hinders the growth of the bacteriophage market. Moreover, increasing research for the establishment of bacteriophage as an effective vaccine delivery system creates growth opportunities for the bacteriophage market.

Geographically, the global bacteriophage market is divided into North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Rest of the World. North America is expected to have the largest share in the global bacteriophage market. The well-established research infrastructure, strong desire to overcome the burden of antibiotic-resistant infections and the existence of potential pipeline for phase therapy in North America contribute to the growth of the bacteriophage market in North America. Europe is anticipated to grow with a healthy CAGR in the global bacteriophage market over the forecast period. The rising application of bacteriophage in food and environmental field in Europe drive the expansion of bacteriophage market in the region. Asia-Pacific region has the fastest growth rate in the global bacteriophage market owing to the rapid evolution of biotechnology infrastructure and rising supportive initiatives from the government in the region.
