Aptamers are single-stranded short DNA or RNA molecules that selectively bind to specific targets such as peptides, proteins, small molecules, carbohydrates, live cells and toxins. According to Marketstack, the Global Aptamers Market is expected to grow considerably during the forecasted period. Factors such as the enlarging prevalence of Chronic and Rare Diseases is expected to drive the Aptamers Market in the forecasted period. Further, the advances in the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) procedure for retrieving high-quality aptamers are predicted to drive the growth of the aptamers market in the forecasted period. Furthermore, constant efforts to develop novel aptamers intended for usage in several medical applications are expected to drive the global aptamers market in the forecasted period. However, the need for more awareness among researchers, professionals, and end-users about the potential benefits and applications of aptamers is expected to restrain the global Aptamers market in the forecasted period.

The surge in the various new and rare diseases which need new properties to fight the molecules and the aptamers are fueling the numerous advantages provided by these small molecules, in comparison to established antibodies, have also assisted in higher need for these molecules across a different range of medical applications. They are chemically synthesized, eliminating batch-to-batch variation and demanding less development time. Appropriate diagnosis is the most crucial factor for treating wildly viral diseases. Over the past few years, aptamer technology has observed a significant rise in demand and usage worldwide. It has been used in various diagnostic and therapeutic applications, and several strategies are currently being explored definitively or conclusively, using aptamers against virus proteins. These are quickly created and applied in the inhibition and characterization of proteins and can further be engineered to have specificity and affinity. These molecules are versatile and are utilized to bind targets, including peptides, small molecules, toxins, proteins, carbohydrates, and even live cells. Aptamers are generally created by a selection process from a large sudden sequence pool, and they can be used for both clinical and research purposes. Aptamers find applications in diagnostic assays and therapeutic drug development. Their ability to bind to specific targets, including proteins and cells, has led to their use in cancer diagnostics, targeted therapy, and personalized medicine, thereby boosting market demand.

North America region dominated the aptamers market. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, robust healthcare infrastructure, and growing interest in research laboratories in the aptamer field are significant factors for the region's dominance. The SELEX technology, used to develop aptamers, has seen significant advancements. These innovations have enhanced the efficiency and specificity of aptamer selection, driving market growth. The growing adoption of technological advancements further enhances the growth rate of the aptamers market. Minimal cost and high efficacy in binding to large molecules contrast to antibodies and the patent expiration of systematic evolution of molecules by exponential enrichment technology. The advantages of aptamers, such as low immunogenicity, high specificity, and ease of synthesis compared to traditional therapeutics, the increasing demand for targeted therapies, rising usage of aptamers in biosensors, diagnostic assays,  and imaging techniques and rapid shift towards precision medicine drive the growth rate of the aptamers market. The increasing patient volume suffering from chronic diseases worldwide and rising support from various governments to conduct R&D around aptamers support market development. The growing number of FDA approvals for aptamers, increasing awareness among market participants and increasing pipeline, rapid adoption of aptamers in chemical and food industries and rising demand among the public due to their advantages, such as their high efficiency and low cost compared to antibodies further dive the global aptamers market growth. The increase in the consumption of various industries of pharmaceuticals has encouraged the market, and the innovation drives the opportunity to offer market growth. The primary factor that gives awareness among the ambitions of their benefits is their properties. The aptamers market development can also be accredited to the increasing number of research and development activities undertaken for enhancing diagnostic devices and drugs and their carriers. As aptamers are chemically synthesized, which removes batch-to-batch variation and needs less time for development, their application is extensively rising across the globe. Further, private organizations are collaborating with academic institutes and research laboratories to introduce next-generation products and increase their existing market presence. This is anticipated to propel the usage of aptamers in an extensive range of medical therapies, as well as in the food and beverage (F&B) industry.

The market key players are Vivonics Inc., TriLink BioTechnologies, SomaLogic, Inc., NeoVentures Biotechnology Inc., and Base Pair Biotechnologies.

In January 2023, Aptamer Group partnered with BaseCure Therapeutics to develop new targeted gene therapies. This partnership aims to identify specific cell types that might be evolved as potential delivery vehicles for siRNA uptake into target cells and tissues. The strategy helped the company to create new opportunities for the expansion of aptamer applications in the field of therapeutics.
