You're looking at a tough spot for Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. (MRVI) as they push past the post-COVID revenue reset, aiming for a solid $185.0 million in revenue by 2025, even while facing a projected $35 million adjusted EBITDA loss this year. Honestly, turning that around requires more than just hoping; it needs a clear plan for growth, so I've mapped out exactly where they can focus their energy using the Ansoff Matrix. This framework shows you the four distinct paths-from doubling down on current business to making big, new market bets-that will help Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. (MRVI) secure that revenue target and get back to profitability. It defintely shows the actionable steps needed to move forward.

Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. (MRVI) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. is focusing on deepening its penetration within existing markets by driving higher utilization of current products and services, supported by significant internal cost restructuring.

The strategy to increase utilization of Cygnus HCP kits is aimed at the existing base of approved cell and gene therapies. Cygnus products, including HCP ELISA kits, support product lot release for approved CAR-T and gene therapies. The Biologics Safety Testing (BST) segment, represented by the Cygnus brand, showed resilience, posting revenue of $16.3 million in the third quarter of 2025, which was up 7% year-over-year. The company expects this segment to continue growing at mid-single-digit rates.

For TriLink BioTechnologies, the focus is on capturing market share through competitive positioning for discovery-grade nucleic acids. While the Nucleic Acid Production (NAP) segment revenue was $25.4 million in Q3 2025, a 53% decline year-over-year, the underlying funnel and order velocity are strong, with expectations for double digit sequential revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The expansion of e-commerce initiatives is explicitly tied to growing the base business, which is defintely the focus. This base business revenue, excluding high-volume CleanCap orders, grew 5% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2025.

Cross-selling Biologics Safety Testing (BST) services to existing Nucleic Acid Production (NAP) customers is supported by the overall segment performance. The BST segment generated $10.5 million in adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2025.

The company plans to fund aggressive sales incentives by leveraging internal efficiencies. Maravai LifeSciences Holdings has implemented a restructuring plan targeting more than $50 million in annualized cost savings. These savings are expected to be realized by the end of 2026. The restructuring includes a 25% workforce reduction and facility consolidations.

Here's a quick look at the financial context supporting the ability to fund these initiatives:

The market penetration efforts are also supported by a focus on high-value transactions within the existing customer base:

• Prioritizing orders over $25,000, which represent about 60% of revenue.
• Cygnus (BST) saw 7% growth in Q3 2025.
• TriLink (NAP) is expected to deliver double digit sequential revenue growth in Q4 2025.
• The company aims for positive Adjusted EBITDA by the second half of 2026.

Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. (MRVI) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

You're looking at how Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. can push its existing products and services into new markets, which is the essence of Market Development here. We need to see where the current traction is and where the next logical expansion lies, so let's look at the numbers we have through the third quarter of 2025.

Expanding Geographic Footprint for High-Margin Services

The Biologics Safety Testing (BST) segment shows a clear area of success in Market Development. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, BST revenue hit $50.7 million, marking a 5.2% increase year-over-year. This growth was explicitly driven by the strength in high-margin HCP qualification services and increased demand for MockV viral clearance kits. While Q3 2025 BST revenue was $16.3 million, up 7% year-over-year, the geographic mix is telling: we saw strength in the U.S. and European markets, but China was down. So, the action here is definitely pushing those high-margin HCP services into other stable or emerging international markets outside of the currently soft China region.

Targeting Emerging Biopharma Clusters in Asia-Pacific

To counter the softness in China noted in Q3 2025 BST performance, targeting emerging biopharma clusters in the Asia-Pacific region with existing MockV viral clearance kits is a direct Market Development play. MockV demand is already contributing to BST growth, which saw a 5.2% increase in 9M 2025. The ability to offer these kits, which allow for viral clearance prediction early in process development, to new geographic hubs could diversify the revenue stream away from the current U.S. and European concentration.

Securing Government Contracts for Preparedness

Leveraging existing GMP capacity for pandemic preparedness programs is a critical, albeit lumpy, market development avenue for the Nucleic Acid Production (NAP) segment. We know this capacity is valued, as the U.S. Department of Defense will fund up to $39 million to expand NAP capabilities in San Diego, aiming for four times scale-up ability to enable future pandemic responses. Securing new government or NGO contracts based on this proven capacity, especially following the WHO Pandemic Agreement negotiations concluding in May 2025, provides a non-commercial market for Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. to develop.

Pivoting NAP to New Modalities

The NAP segment needs this market development because its current performance is heavily reliant on large, intermittent CleanCap orders. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, NAP revenue was $85.2 million, a sharp 44.8% decrease year-over-year, primarily due to a lack of high-volume CleanCap orders for commercial phase vaccine programs. This decline underscores the need to focus on new therapeutic areas, like in vivo diagnostics, using current synthesis capabilities. While CleanCap technology is used in over 500+ vaccine and therapeutic programs in development, expanding its use into non-mRNA modalities like DNA vaccines through new distribution channels is key to smoothing out the lumpy revenue profile.

Here's a quick look at the financial context for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which frames these market development needs:

The success of Market Development hinges on capturing growth in the BST segment, which is already showing resilience, and stabilizing the NAP segment by diversifying its customer base beyond the large, intermittent mRNA vaccine orders. The focus must be on establishing sticky, recurring revenue streams in new therapeutic or geographic markets.

• HCP qualification services drove BST growth of 5.2% in 9M 2025.
• BST segment saw revenue of $16.3 million in Q3 2025.
• NAP segment revenue was $85.2 million for 9M 2025.
• CleanCap technology is in over 500+ programs in development.
• DoD funding for NAP expansion is up to $39 million.

• Launch new process-related impurity assays to expand the Cygnus portfolio beyond host cell proteins.

The Cygnus Technologies portfolio is already utilized in all 25 commercialized CAR-T cell and gene therapies. The company is expanding its host cell protein assay portfolio, and its existing services leverage the proprietary Antibody Affinity Extraction (AAE) method, which can enrich Host Cell Proteins (HCPs) by as much as 240 times for mass spectrometry analysis.

• Offer integrated CDMO services that bundle TriLink GMP consumables with Biologics Safety Testing for a single-source solution.

The Biologics Safety Testing (BST) segment, which includes safety testing services, generated $16.3 million in revenue for Q3 2025, marking a 7% increase year-over-year. For the first six months of 2025, BST revenue reached $34.4 million, up 4.3% year-over-year, driven by HCP qualification services and MockV viral clearance kits. The company is also finishing its GMP facility in Florida to support bringing its enzymes business into the GMP world.

Here's a quick look at the segment performance that underpins these product development efforts as of the third quarter of 2025.
