Biodefense Market Overview

Biodefense refers to the range of activities and technologies that aim to restore the biosecurity of a country that is or may be, subject to biological threats or infectious diseases. It helps counter the potential risks associated with pandemics, bioterrorism, and other biological emergencies. The federal government in the US coordinates programs and sets up budgets to prevent, respond, and take action against biological disasters. The US biological defense program, also known as the National Biodefense Strategy, entails collective efforts by numerous levels of the government in association with private bodies and other stakeholders for the conduction of biodefense activities. In addition, the National Collaborating Centre for Infectious Diseases is an organization in Canada that aims to provide recent information on emerging infectious diseases to policymakers, public health practitioners, health inspectors, and others through webinars, podcasts, online resources, and publications. Thus, the efforts and initiatives undertaken by the government to strengthen the biodefense system are likely to support the market growth during the forecast period.

Biodefense Market Drivers and Opportunities

Presence of Favourable Government Initiatives to Drive the Market Growth

Governments in developed nations take a variety of actions and adopt preventative steps to withstand bioterrorism attacks. The government constantly maintains supplies of vaccines and bio-threat-detecting tools to protect the public. This is attributed to rising federal financing, technical breakthroughs, and growing public awareness. The presence of major players is also encouraging for the market. In 2018, the US government released the National Biodefense Strategy and Implementation Plan, the National Security Strategy, the National Defense Strategy, and the National Counterterrorism Strategy, and the National Counter WMD Strategy, all of which include biosecurity and biodefense.

Moreover, in emerging markets such as India, several facilities, such as the Defense Research and Development Organization, are developing defensive measures to combat biological attacks. Significant efforts are being made to prepare the military force for a biological attack. In the past two decades, there has been a continuing increase in the focus on spreading awareness about bioterrorism across all nations, along with various proposals and meetings to fight such threats, which is one of the major reasons driving the demand for biodefense. The initiatives of governments globally open a window of chance for companies involved in the biodefense sector, thereby driving market growth.

Enhanced Adoption of Technologies to Favor Market Growth

Increased adoption of technologies, such as gene chips for pathogen detection in forensic division, database management systems, advanced detector hardware in biodefense-related drug development, and nanotechnology, is being successfully used to strengthen biological defense techniques. Most of these technologies are employed either independently or jointly to design and develop various biodefense tools. The technology that is currently the most significant to biodefense is closely related to genetic engineering, a technology based on the artificial manipulation and transfer of genetic material. At the same time, gene therapy could be effectively used to cure various diseases. Many predict that future bioweapons could be designer bioweapons, and this technology could play a very important role in finding cures for many diseases unknown at present. Recent advances in molecular biology and genetic engineering have led to new vaccine development strategies and are likely to create considerable growth opportunities for the biodefense market in the future.
