Cell & Gene Therapy Contract Research Organizations Market Summary
The global cell & gene therapy contract research organizations market size was estimated at USD 4.84 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 11.26 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 9.89% from 2025 to 2033. The growth is due to the rising clinical trial volume in CGT, increased outsourcing by biotech firms, regulatory complexity, and global expansion, among others.
The growth of the cell & gene therapy contract research organizations industry is fueled by the rapid expansion of clinical pipelines, especially in oncology, hematologic, and rare genetic disorders. Sponsors are increasingly turning to CROs due to the high complexity, regulatory scrutiny, and cost intensity of CGT trials. These therapies demand specialized logistics, personalized manufacturing coordination, and sophisticated data handling capabilities that most small to mid-sized biotech firms prefer to outsource. Moreover, the global increase in Investigational New Drug (IND) applications for ATMPs has heightened demand for regulatory support, trial design, and long-term safety monitoring services.
Advancements in gene-editing platforms such as CRISPR and viral and non-viral delivery technologies are transforming CGT development, thereby intensifying the need for expert-led preclinical and clinical research support. CROs offering integrated solutions across discovery, preclinical validation, vector analytics, and GMP compliance are gaining a competitive edge. Additionally, increased funding, strategic partnerships, and industry consolidation have enhanced the CRO ecosystem's capacity to scale with the innovation surge. This ecosystem shift has positioned specialized CROs as essential partners in accelerating CGT approvals and global trial execution.
