Gene Editing Markets: Market Forecast, Competitive Landscape, Technology and Partnering Opportunities, 2027-2031

Gene editing is moving from research tool to approved medicine. This report estimates the global gene editing market at $11.4 billion in 2026, growing 15.9% a year to $23.8 billion in 2031 and adding $12.4 billion of new annual spending. Base, prime and epigenetic editors rise from 17.5% to 31.5% of the market, and prime editing is the fastest-growing technology at 38.4% a year. In vivo editing rises from 12.5% to 20.5%, Gene Therapy and Cell Therapy together take 40% of the growth, and Services is the fastest-growing product line. 2026 brought the first Phase 3 results and priority review for an in vivo CRISPR therapy, Casgevy approval for children aged 2 and over, a new FDA pathway for individualised therapies, and final approval of the EU rules for gene-edited crops. 56 companies are profiled, and the report includes detailed breakouts for 14 countries and regions.
