The occurrence of pipeline drugs includes RTX-134, SYNB1618, and CNSA-001, which aid the market. Phase I study of CNSA-001 was completed and started Phase II clinical trial whereas SYNB1618 is presently in Phase 2 and received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fast-track designation. Increasing commercialization and development of new drugs helps the market expansion.
For instance, in 2018, in the U.S., Palynziq (pegvaliase), which is an enzyme therapy drug was launched by BioMarin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for PKU treatment.

Increasing M&A and collaboration between key player’s results in propelling the market. Synlogic, Inc. discovered and developed several novel drugs for Synthetic Biotic medicines. These medicines were designed with use of synthetic biology for reprogramming microbes genetically for the treatment of inflammatory and metabolic diseases.
Retrophin, Inc., in January 2018 enters into joint agreement with Censa Pharmaceuticals for manufacturing CNSA-001. In this, Censa performs clinical trial programs and Retrophin acquire exclusive rights after drug development from Censa.
