[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Pharmicell announced on the 21st that it received an order worth approximately $8.53 million (about 10.2 billion KRW) for nucleosides from ThermoFisher Scientific in the United States.


Nucleosides are used for mRNA vaccine purification, virus diagnostic kits, genetic diagnostic reagents, and RNA-based gene therapies.


A Pharmicell official stated, "Recently, there has been a continuous large-scale order of nucleosides," adding, "This is interpreted as an increase in demand for nucleosides, the raw material, as RNA therapeutic development is accelerating."



He continued, "The cumulative sales until the third quarter of this year reached 39.1 billion KRW, exceeding last year's annual sales of 37.8 billion KRW," and added, "As the RNA therapeutic market is becoming more active, the sales growth of raw pharmaceutical materials is expected to continue next year."
