The global base editing market size is expected to reach USD 681.2 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 13.46% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increased government funding, a growing focus on genomic studies, and the rising prevalence of rare diseases contribute to market growth. Moreover, the increased application of genomic research in therapeutics to cure chronic and rare diseases, immunodeficiency, and cardiovascular disorders is expected to drive market growth further.
The increased application of genomic research in therapeutics has significantly advanced the field of medicine, leading to more personalized and effective treatments for various diseases. CRISPR-based genome editing technology has been applied to precise genome editing techniques such as base editing. Base editing allows for the targeted conversion of one base pair to another without generating double-strand breaks. Furthermore, uUsing CRISPR-based genome editing technology, creating animal models of human diseases has become more accessible, faster, and more flexible. The application of base editing in monkeys has shown promising results in genetic research and potential therapeutic interventions. Recent research has shown that base editing technology can be used in monkeys to study the causes and treatment of STXBP1 encephalopathy. The successful outcomes demonstrate that this technology is effective in creatingeffectively creates primate models of human genetic disorders.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the base editing market, leading to an increased emphasis on genomic studies and gene editing technologies. The global healthcare crisis has highlighted the significance of advanced medical solutions, resulting in a surge of interest and investment in technologies such as base editing, which have the potential to revolutionize healthcare treatments. Moreover, the pandemic has increased the emphasis on precision medicine and targeted therapies. Base editing technologies enable precise modifications at the DNA or RNA level, allowing for tailored treatments for specific genetic diseases. This aligns with the growing trend towards personalized medicine for effective and targeted intervention.
However, similar tolike other genome editing techniques, safety is one of the primary ethical concerns with base editing technology is safety.. The potential for off-target effects and unintended consequences due to inaccuracies in the editing process raises significant safety issues. In the case of base editing, ensuring the accuracy and specificity of edits is crucial to prevent unintended mutations that could have harmful effects onharm an organism or future generations.
