RNAi technology market seen reaching $13.63 billion by 2035, SNS Insider says

SNS Insider projects the market will grow from $3.46 billion in 2025 to $13.63 billion by 2035, driven by drug discovery, delivery-system advances, precision medicine and broader outsourcing across biotech.

Summary

SNS Insider has released a market research report forecasting the global RNAi technology market to expand from USD 3.46 billion in 2025 to USD 13.63 billion by 2035, representing a compound annual growth rate of 14.68% during 2026-2035. The report says growth is being supported by wider use of RNA interference in drug discovery, precision medicine, functional genomics and gene-silencing research, with improving delivery technologies helping the field move into harder-to-treat areas including inherited liver conditions, cancer, eye disease and Huntington’s disease. Products accounted for the largest share of the market in 2025, supported by demand for siRNA and shRNA kits, reagents and delivery systems, while services are projected to post the fastest growth as life-sciences companies increasingly outsource custom RNAi synthesis, screening and gene knockdown work. Drug discovery and development was the leading application, generating 71.7% of 2025 revenue, and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies were the largest end-use segment with 59.5% of revenue, while CROs and CMOs are expected to record the fastest expansion over the forecast period. North America held a 42.2% market share in 2025, with the U.S. contributing around 86% of regional revenue, and Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region. SNS Insider highlights recent industry activity including Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals’ 2025 global licensing and collaboration agreement with Novartis for ARO-SNCA using its TRiM RNAi delivery platform, Atalanta Therapeutics’ USD 97 million Series B in January 2025, Switch Therapeutics’ 2023 launch with USD 52 million for programmable RNAi therapeutics, City Therapeutics’ 2025 partnership with Bausch + Lomb in ophthalmic gene therapy, and Shanghai Argo Biopharmaceutical’s April 2024 licensing deal with Novartis on multiple RNAi programs for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

Terms & Concepts
  • RNA interference: A gene-silencing mechanism that blocks specific messenger RNA, preventing production of targeted proteins.
  • functional genomics: A field of research that studies gene function and interactions, often using tools such as gene silencing.
  • CROs & CMOs: Contract research and manufacturing organizations that pharmaceutical and biotech companies use to outsource development and production work.
