Global viral vector and plasmid DNA testing services market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The World Health Organization (WHO) designated the illness caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), that first appeared in Wuhan (province of Hubei, China), in the last months of 2019 as "coronavirus disease 2019" or COVID-19. This virus spreads quickly, and had a serious negative impact on the economies, social behaviors, and healthcare of every country in the world.
The COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to the lockdown, several countries such as India, China, Brazil, and others faced problems regarding transportation of drugs from one place to another.
The COVID-19 had a positive impact on the global viral vector and plasmid DNA testing services market, as Key players operating in the market are focusing on development of DNA vaccines for the treatment of COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, in May 2020, AGC Biologics, a global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) for biopharmaceuticals, partnered with Takara Bio, the biomedical business unit of Takara Shuzo Co., Ltd., to develop vaccine for COVID-19. As a result of this partnership, AGC Biologics is manufacturing the plasmid DNA intermediate vaccine for treatment of COVID-19 with Takara Bio.
