Microbiome drugs are used for metabolism and immunity. In a human body, microbes are used as a factory to produce drug, a modulator for dug action, a vehicle for drug delivery, and sometimes itself is consider as a drug. Microbiomes are used for the treatment of different diseases such as autoimmune diseases and inflammatory bowel diseases. The chemicals produced by microbiota are nonfood derivatives chemical molecules and vitamin B12. The microbiome of an average adult can weigh at least 3 pounds.
]The gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome is the most important microbiome in the human body. When the GI microbiome shifts away from a healthy state, it is known as dysbiosis or pathobiosis. The high effectiveness and less adverse effects have motivated researchers and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to shift toward microbiome drugs. Several companies are focusing on partnership and collaboration for research activities. In 2014, Pfizer partnered with Second Genome, a biotechnology firm in South San Francisco, California, to study the microbiomes of about 900 people. The boom in partnerships and investments for new microbiome-derived drugs and therapies is projected to create a competitive market place for other therapeutic products.
Drivers such as increasing research and development activities, large number of pipeline drugs, growing acceptance among people, and rising prevalence of autoimmune diseases, cancer, and gastrointestinal diseases are expected to propel the growth of the global Microbiome Drugs Market. In 2016, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the U.S., about 1 to 1.3 million people suffered from inflammatory bowel diseases.
In addition, factors such as technological advancement, government initiatives, and increasing collaboration between pharmaceutical companies for new drug development are likely to drive the market growth. In 2016, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy collaborated with Federal agencies and private-sector stakeholders for National Microbiome Initiative (NMI) to advance the understanding of microbiomes for the development of useful applications in health care, food production, and environmental restoration. However, lack of awareness about the use of microbiome drugs may hinder the global microbiome market growth.
