The outbreak of COVID-19 led to an increased usage of synthetic biology products in the past 2 years. Many key pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies as well as synthetic biology players in the industry have increased their research activities globally, by adopting new techniques for producing test kits, therapies, and vaccines for COVID-19. In a study from European Parliament, synthetic biology is considered to be one of the developing technologies. It has the ability to be used in combating COVID-19 infection. Synthetic biology has also been highlighted as a means to accelerate vaccine development by the National Institute of Health in the U.S.

The global market is expected to advance as a result of the growing research and development activities in various fields. To improve conventional biofuel production, players are implementing synthetic biology approaches to enhance performance and increase the utilization of low-cost inputs such as waste. For instance, fashion companies such as Modern Meadow, Bolt Threads, and Vitro Labs are employing biotechnology to develop sustainable materials.

The market witnessed strong investments from private public partnerships. As per the data published by SynBioBeta, the startups in the synthetic biology industry raised 7.8 billion in investment in 2020, and USD 18.0 billion in 2021. Companies such as Arbor Biotechnologies and DNA Script raised around USD 215 million and USD 167.2 million, respectively. The heavy investment increases the circulation of funds in the market and supports the growth of companies across the supply chain.

Furthermore, advances in genome editing and the presence of bio-foundries, as well as the availability of natural resources and enormous markets, are highlighted as global strengths in synthetic biology to build a bio-based economy. The possible challenges to the field's long-term development, such as insufficient infrastructure and policies, are discussed along with proposals for overcoming them through public-private partnerships, more effective multilateral cooperation, and a well-developed governance framework.

Additionally, players in the market are entering with the latest technologies in order to meet the growing demand and capture untapped avenues of the market. For instance, in November 2021, Creative Biogene released its broad shRNA products to accelerate RNAi research. The company has broad expertise and experience to offer high-quality RNAi products, including shRNA clones and siRNA libraries, intending to provide effective, convenient, and reliable tools to fast-track RNAi research.
