Growth in venture capital funding will empower the growth during the forecast period.

Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA (ssDNA or ssRNA) oligonucleotide molecules that stick to a specific target moiety. It has a variety of shapes due to its ability to form helices and single-stranded loops. There are many advantages of these small molecules in comparison to antibodies.

Several aptamer developing companies have identified the capability of aptamers for use in treatment and diagnostic applications. These players are now concentrating on securing funding from various investors to expand their offerings and strengthen their positions in the market. Thus, increasing venture capital funding is projected to drive market growth.

Rising awareness of the advantage of aptamers over antibodies is one of the major opportunities for market growth.

In comparison to antibodies, aptamers can significantly target small molecules. Furthermore, antibodies might cause an immunogenic response to the host, resulting in serious side-effects. In contrast, aptamers are non-immunogenic and safer. Aptamers also offer various advantages such as lower cost of production, ease of designing & synthesis, and high efficiency. These factors make them relatively economical. The scale-up is also enormous and therefore shows significant potential in the development of therapeutics.
