Synthetic biology is nothing but an interdisciplinary field where engineering principles are applied to design and build new biological systems or reengineer the ones which are already existing. This contrasts with conventional genetic engineering as it constructs biological parts and systems from scratch, enabling precise control over cellular functions. It holds wide applications in medicine, agriculture, and environmental solutions.

Market outlook

As per recent market report, the global synthetic biology market size was estimated at about USD 16 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at an approximate CAGR of 17% from 2025 to 2030.

Market drivers

Increasing application of synthetic biology in agriculture, pharma and industrial biotechnology.

Increasing demand for bio-based product by using synthetic biology.

Challenges

Production and scalability of engineered organisms.

Engineered organisms have complicated approval processes.

Ethical development and use assume pivotal roles in a discipline where dual-use can generate concerns.

Various other limitations like safety, technical challenges and many more.
