Cell and Gene Therapy Market Trends
- Growing incidences of cancer and rare disorders
Increasing incidences of diseases such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and others, are burgeoning market growth. For instance, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, there were cancer cases of nearly 9,826,539 in Asia, 4,471,422 in Europe, 2,673 174 in Northern America, 1,551,060 in Latin America and the Caribbean, 1,185,216 in Africa, and 269 088 in Oceania cancer cases of both genders in 2022. Furthermore, India also reported increasing incidences of cancer, which is contributing to the growth of the Cell and Gene Therapy Market. As per the International Agency for Research on Cancer, in 2022, there were 192,020 breast cancer cases, 143,759 lip, oral cavity, 127,526 cervix uteri, 81,748 lung, 70,637 esophagus, 70,038 colorectum, and 727,588 cancer cases of others. These increased cases of cancer across India are increasing the demand for innovative drugs by healthcare providers and patients which leads to the frequent launches of drugs associated with cell and gene therapy. For instance, in April 2024, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay and Tata Memorial Centre launched gene-based therapy, namely NexCAR19 CAR T-cell therapy. This product is India’s first therapy that is affordable, accessible, and low-cost. CAR T-cell therapy is a huge achievement for India and for Indian cancer patients. Moreover, as per the American Lung Association, there were about 30,000 people with cystic fibrosis in the US and nearly 70,000 people worldwide in 2022. Also, in April 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that nearly 6,000 babies born with Down syndrome in the United States.
Thus, the increasing incidences of cancer and rare disorders across the globe and rising innovative product launches to treat these diseases are boosting the growth of the market.
Increasing approval for gene and cell therapy products
Favorable regulatory authorities play an important role because these treatments are more widely accepted by healthcare professionals, patients, and regulatory bodies. Frequent approval increases the number of patients willing to consider these therapies. Furthermore, there are clear pathways for regulatory approval due to the increased use of cell and gene therapy.
In March 2024, Orchard Therapeutics launched Lenmeldy (atidarsagene autotemcel), previously named OTL-200, the first FDA-approved therapy for children affected by pre-symptomatic late infantile (PSLI), pre-symptomatic early juvenile (PSEJ), or early symptomatic early juvenile (ESEJ) forms of metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), collectively referred to as early-onset MLD.
In February 2024, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval for CARVYKTI (ciltacabtagene autoleucel; cilta-cel) to treat adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. These patients must have undergone at least one prior line of therapy, which included both a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent and are refractory to lenalidomide.
Cell and Gene Therapy Market Segment Insights
Cell and Gene Therapy, therapy type Insights
Based on therapy type, the global cell & gene therapy market has been segmented into cell therapy and gene therapy. The cell therapy segment held the largest market share in 2023 and gene therapy is the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period i.e., 2024 -2032.
Gene therapy segment is further segmented into Autologous and Allogenic. The autologous segment dominated the market in 2022. Additionally, it is anticipated that during the forecast period, this segment will increase more quickly. Due to the widespread use of CAR-T treatments and their successful outcomes in the treatment of various malignancies and genetic abnormalities, the market is expected to rise.
The gene therapy segment is further segmented into Ex-vivo and In-vivo. The in vivo therapy segment held the largest market share in 2023, owing to increase in the adoption of in vivo gene therapies globally. As vivo gene therapy can reach multiple sites or organs throughout the body, it allows for systemic treatment. This is especially beneficial for diseases that affect multiple organ systems or have systemic manifestations, allowing for a more comprehensive therapeutic approach.

Cell and Gene Therapy Application Insights
Based on application, the global cell & gene therapy market has been segmented into Cancer, Neurological Disorders, Cardiovascular Disorders, Rare Diseases, Ophthalmology, Blood Disorders, and Others. The cancer segment held the largest market and is the fastest growing segment during the forecast period, owing to increase in prevalence of cancer, rise in development of gene and cell therapy drugs specific to oncology. Advances in gene editing technologies such as CRISPER-CAS9, TALEN, and zinc finger nucleases, enable precise modifications of gene in immune cells to enhance their anti-cancer properties. These technologies can be used to knock out the genes that inhibit immune responses or to introduce genes that enhance cytotoxicity against cancer cells. For instance, in 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Adstiladrin (nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg) in December 2022, new long-term follow up data has been revealed.
However, the rare diseases segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, owing to rise in the prevalence of rare disease across the world. For instance, according to FDA in 2022, rare diseases affect 30 million people in the USA and many rare conditions are life-threatening and most do not have treatments.
