Autologous cell therapy stands as a method within cell therapy where an individual's cells are gathered, processed, and subsequently reintroduced into their own body to address therapeutic needs. It plays a vital role in regenerative medicine, aiming to repair, replace, or rejuvenate damaged tissues or organs.
Within autologous cell therapy, two primary types are prevalent, autologous stem cell therapy and autologous cellular immunotherapies. Autologous stem cell therapy, a specific facet of this therapy, harnesses stem cells sourced from the patient's own body for therapeutic purposes. These stem cells are derived from various sources such as bone marrow, epidermis, mesenchymal stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, chondrocytes, among others. Their applications span across a wide spectrum of medical areas, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular issues, autoimmune conditions, orthopedics, and wound healing. This therapy finds application across multiple sectors including hospitals, clinics, ambulatory centers, academic and research institutions, and other healthcare settings, serving as a versatile approach in addressing various health challenges.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.
The autologous cell therapy market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides autologous cell therapy market statistics, including autologous cell therapy industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a autologous cell therapy market share, detailed autologous cell therapy market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the autologous cell therapy industry. This autologous cell therapy market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The autologous cell therapy market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $10.28 billion in 2024 to $12.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in regenerative medicine, increased prevalence of chronic diseases, enhanced understanding of cellular biology, patient preference for personalized medicine, clinical success and positive outcomes.
The autologous cell therapy market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.22 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to continued growth in regenerative medicine, expanding applications across medical specialties, advancements in cell culture techniques, increasing investment and research initiatives, regulatory support, and standardization. Major trends in the forecast period include the development of automated manufacturing technologies, integration of biomarkers in treatment strategies, the emergence of point-of-care cell processing, expansion beyond hematopoietic stem cells, collaborations, and partnerships in the industry.
The forecast of 17.6% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff barriers are expected to hamper U.S. regenerative medicine by increasing the cost of cell processing systems and cryopreservation media sourced from Singapore and Italy, thereby delaying personalized therapies and elevating cancer treatment center costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The burgeoning prevalence of chronic diseases is poised to fuel the expansion of autologous cell therapy. Chronic diseases, persisting for more than a year, necessitate continual medical attention. Autologous cell therapy, leveraging an individual's cultivated and amplified cells reintroduced into the donor, holds promise in managing and treating such conditions. According to the National Library of Medicine's January 2023 report, the US is projected to witness 142.66 million people aged 50 and above with at least one chronic condition by 2050. Hence, the heightened prevalence of chronic diseases propels the growth of the autologous cell therapy market.
The increasing aging population is expected to drive the growth of the autologous cell therapy market in the coming years. An aging population refers to the rise in median age within a population due to declining fertility rates and longer life expectancy. Autologous cell therapies can benefit this demographic by providing targeted and personalized treatment options. For instance, in July 2024, the Office of National Statistics, a UK-based producer of official statistics, reported that in 2022, approximately 12.7 million people in the UK were aged 65 and over, representing 19% of the total population. Projections indicate that by 2072, this figure could rise to 22.1 million, making up 27% of the population. Consequently, the growing aging population is fueling the expansion of the autologous cell therapy market.
Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend shaping the autologous cell therapy market. Market leaders are automating the process to enhance efficiency and ensure sustainability. Lonza, for instance, unveiled the Cocoon Platform in April 2022, a cutting-edge technology streamlining personalized cell and gene therapy manufacturing. This platform, driven by an automated closed system, minimizes contamination risk, upholds manufacturing sterility, substantially bolsters quality, reduces labor and material expenses, and facilitates the scalable production of autologous T-cell products.
Major players in the autologous cell therapy realm are forging strategic partnerships and collaborations to fortify their market positions. Strategic partnerships, fostering collaborative endeavors between multiple entities, aim to achieve specific business objectives. Notably, in March 2022, Novartis inked an initial agreement with Carisma Therapeutics, aiming to manufacture HER 2 targeted CAR-M cell therapy. The collaboration involves transferring Carisma Therapeutics' manufacturing process to Novartis' Cell Therapy Site in the US, scheduling clinical manufacturing to commence in 2023, focusing on treating solid tumors in initial trials.
In October 2023, Clade Therapeutics, a US-based cell therapy company, successfully acquired Gadeta B.V. for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition significantly enriches Clade's repertoire by incorporating innovative gamma/delta (g/d) T-cell receptor (TCR)-based immunotherapies tailored for cancer patients into its existing portfolio. Gadeta B.V., based in the Netherlands, specializes in the development of cell therapies.
