Nucleotides Market Overview

Nucleotides are organic molecules that are monomers of DNA, RNA, and other nucleic acids. It comprises a nitrogenous base, a phosphate molecule, and a sugar molecule. In particular, the strong market potential for testing viral diseases supports the market growth during the post-pandemic period.

Wide applications such as animal feeds, seasonings, sweeteners, pharmaceuticals (bulk drugs, intermediates, and formulations), advanced medical materials (oligonucleotides, peptides, proteins, and cell media), cosmetics, and electronic materials encourage the demand for nucleotides worldwide. The report identifies Diagnostics and Research as the largest application segment, driven by wide adoption across countries.

Nucleotides are typically classified into purines and pyrimidines based on the structure of the nitrogenous base. Based on sugar molecules, the nucleotides are categorized as DNA/RNA/others. The nucleic acid comprises a chain of nucleotides linked together with covalent bonds to form a sugar-phosphate backbone with protruding nitrogenous bases. For example, in DNA, purine bases such as adenine and guanine and pyrimidine bases such as thymine and cytosine are included. On the other hand, RNA comprises adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

Only a few primary manufacturers supply nucleotides worldwide. To stay ahead in the competition, companies market different types such as dNTPs, NTPs, and modified nucleotides in a wide range of formats. Further, to meet the requirements of individual customers, manufacturers also synthesize custom formulations for specific requirements and also market different nucleotide mixes.

Maintaining high purity during the production and purification process by eliminating nucleosidic by-products, residual chemicals, or macromolecule contaminants is essential. Further, functionality testing is also conducted through functional tests such as RT-qPCR and in vitro transcription are conducted.

Manufacturers constantly conduct R&D on the production and application of nucleotides and also explore new production processes. Developing countries such as China, India, South East Asia, Brazil, and other markets offer significant growth opportunities. Ajinomoto Co., Inc., Thermo Fisher Scientific, Biogen, Inc, and other companies are expanding their R&D infrastructure and manpower capabilities, and governments are supporting research activities in genomics and synthetic biology fields.

Flexible packaging including labeling, finishing, and choice of vials and bottles are being marketed by companies. Further, different scales ranging from microliters to liters, milligrams to kilograms are marketed to cater to wide application ranges.

The market is concentrated in nature with CJ CheilJedang Corp, Ajinomoto Co., Inc, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Star Lake Bioscience Co., Inc. Zhaoqing Guangdong, Daesang Corporation, and other companies dominating the industry. These five companies are analyzed in the report.

Nucleotides Market Trend - Strong demand for dietary nucleotides

Dietary nucleotides are one of the potential market segments as food and beverage companies are widely marketing the products.

Health benefits offered by the products such as muscle growth/contraction, protein synthesis, proliferation, metabolism, live function, and others are encouraging demand for nucleotides in the food and beverages industry.

Contribution to the reinforcement of immune response is largely promoted during the COVID-19 pandemic, which supported the sales of the products worldwide in the segment.

Nucleotides Market Restraints- High costs of manufacturing

The industry is witnessing a strong surge of interest and momentum with regulatory approvals and multiple late-stage pipeline products of medicines. However, the design and construction of these medicines at a commercial scale involve high costs. The transition from laboratories to large-scale processes involves significant costs, design, and development challenges. Further, amidst fears of contamination, upstream processing such as synthesis, cleavage, and deprotection, and downstream processing sequences such as purifying, achieving required concentration levels, and freeze-drying the substance requires significant costs. Due to high complexities such as side effects, drugs using nucleotides have been withdrawn, which results in significant investment losses.

Nucleotides Market Share Analysis- Pharmaceuticals held the dominant revenue-generating segment

The strong advent of personalized medicine where drugs are tailored to patient's needs based on their genetic information is encouraging investments in the adoption of nucleotides in the pharmaceuticals industry.

Nucleotide-based medicines use nucleotides to target cellular genetic information directly. The huge potential of nucleotide-based medicines is driving collaborations in the industry. Purine and pyrimidine analogs comprising halogens, thiols, and others are widely used in cancer treatment, suppressing target cells and others. Substrate analogs of nucleotide metabolizing enzymes and modified nucleotides are being assessed for treatment against multiple conditions.

To assess the potential of nucleotides in the treatment of several pathologies and infections, companies are forming collaborations with universities, companies, and other institutes. Dietary Supplements, Baby formula, medication for diverse conditions, and others are widely being formulated worldwide.

Nucleotides Market Share- Pharmaceuticals, Food Additives, Feed Additives, Diagnostic Research

Enzyme regulation, metabolism regulation, protein synthesis, and other functions are performed by nucleotides. When linked with vitamin derivatives, they form a portion of coenzymes (coenzyme A, NAD, NADP, and FAD), and as donors and acceptors of phosphoryl groups in energy transduction processes.

Nucleoside-lipid derivatives act as intermediates in lipid biosynthesis. They also play a vital role in metabolic regulation. Further, Deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) and nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) serve as the immediate substrates for the biosynthesis of DNA and RNA, respectively.

The role of nucleotides in drug discovery also remains significant, predominantly in mRNA vaccines, antiviral drugs, and cytostatic nucleotides (substrate analogs of physiological nucleotides that inhibit cell proliferation by interfering with cellular targets involved in DNA/RNA synthesis and nucleotide metabolism).
