Human Microbiome Market : Focus on Therapeutics, Diagnostics and Fecal Microbiota Therapy : Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, 2022-2035

INTRODUCTION The human microbiome remained a largely unexplored area until 2007 when the Human Microbiome Project (HMP) was initiated. The project was undertaken to understand the concept of core human microbiome and its compatibility with the host physiology.

New York, May 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Human Microbiome Market : Focus on Therapeutics, Diagnostics and Fecal Microbiota Therapy : Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, 2022-2035" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06272713/?utm_source=GNW
Further, with the significant advancements in the sequencing methods and analytical techniques, and 40% increase in the non-HMP investments, several microbiome-related studies have been conducted. Research insights generated from the HMP and other studies throw light on the role of gut microbiota in governing the overall health / well-being of an individual, and the pathogenesis of several diseases due to the alteration in the composition of resident gut microbiota. Specifically, the studies suggest that dysbiosis (imbalance of gut bacteria) leads to the development of several chronic conditions, including Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs), Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel disease, ulcerative colitis and diabetes. Given the role of microbiota in disease development and pathogenesis, the concept of microbiome-based therapeutics has generated significant enthusiasm within the medical science community, thereby, defining a new frontier in the field of medicine. Manipulation of bacteria in the gut emerges to be a potential tool in the treatment of various medical conditions and associated diseases. The ongoing research efforts, focused on targeting and modulating microbiome, have led to the development of treatment options for more than 25 indications. In addition, probiotic therapies with live biotherapeutic products (microbes) are considered to be the most advanced microbiome-based therapies for restoring bacterial symbiosis.

At present, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) involving the transfer of complete microbial community from a healthy donor’s feces to recipient via oral (in form of a capsule) or rectal (enema and colonoscopy) is the only FDA-approved microbiome therapy, for the treatment of recurrent CDI. However, several players are engaged in developing prescription drugs modulating human microbiome for the treatment of various gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal disorders as well. Further, a number of microbiome diagnostic and screening / profiling tests are commercially available for the detection of different microbiome-related diseases. It is worth mentioning that, owing to the rising interest, a number of start-ups / small firms have established in the past few years and the contributions of big pharma players have fueled the overall growth in this domain. Driven by increasing prevalence of disease indications, promising therapeutic potential of microbiome-based therapies, encouraging clinical trial results and financial support from the investors, the human microbiome therapeutics and diagnostics market is likely to witness substantial growth in the mid to long-term.
