Description: TWST Twist Bioscience November 12, 2025
Twist Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ:TWST) manufactures synthetic DNA-based products, supplying gene fragments, oligo pools, and custom immunoglobulin G proteins for applications ranging from therapeutics and diagnostics to data storage and agricultural biotech. Its portfolio also includes next-generation sequencing (NGS) kits, methylation detection assays, and a suite of synthetic viral controls (e.g., SARS-CoV-2, monkeypox) that support assay development and research panels for respiratory pathogens.
Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue reached approximately $1.0 billion, up ~35 % YoY, driven by strong demand for high-throughput DNA synthesis in CRISPR-based drug discovery and expanding NGS diagnostic markets. The global synthetic DNA market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15 % through 2030, with biotech R&D spend and the rise of DNA-based data storage acting as primary tailwinds. Twist’s strategic alliance with bitBiome enhances its capability to deliver large-scale, high-accuracy DNA libraries for antibody engineering, a segment that has seen a 20 % increase in funding across the pharma sector in the past year.
