RNAi Technology Market to Hit $3.6 Billion by 2031 | 10.3% CAGR Driven by Cancer Therapies and R&D Growth

Global RNAi Market grows at 10.3% CAGR, from $1.6 Billion (2022) to $3.6 Billion (2031), driven by cancer prevalence, precision medicine and R&D funding.

AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, August 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- According to DataM Intelligence, the RNAi Technology Market reached US$ 1.6 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 3.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.3% during the forecast period (2024–2031). This rapid growth is driven by increased R&D investments, technological advancements in RNA delivery systems, and the rising burden of chronic diseases worldwide.

RNA interference (RNAi) technology has revolutionized molecular biology and therapeutic development, providing researchers with a powerful tool to silence disease-related genes with high specificity. Since its discovery, RNAi has been widely adopted in drug discovery, genetic research, and biotechnology due to its ability to regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Today, pharmaceutical companies are actively exploring RNAi-based drugs for cancer, viral infections, metabolic disorders, and rare genetic diseases, signaling its growing importance in precision medicine.

The oncology segment remains the leading application area for RNAi technology, as cancer prevalence continues to rise globally. By silencing oncogenes or drug-resistance genes, RNAi provides an innovative pathway for targeted therapies. Regionally, North America dominates the RNAi Technology Market, supported by strong biotech infrastructure, clinical trial activity, and the presence of leading pharmaceutical innovators. The Asia-Pacific region, however, is anticipated to experience the fastest CAGR due to government funding, a growing patient population, and an expanding biotechnology sector.
