Cell therapy represents a treatment method involving the injection of active cells into a patient's body to address specific disorders, aiming to modify sets of cells for disease treatment. This technique involves modifying cells outside the body, derived either from the patient or a donor, and then reintroducing them into the patient's system.
The primary product categories encompass consumables, equipment, systems, and software. Consumables refer to items intended for depletion or use during regular application. They find application across various cell types such as T-cells, stem cells, and others. Processes within cell therapy technologies include cell processing, preservation, distribution, handling, process monitoring, and quality control. These technologies have diverse applications spanning life science companies, research institutes, and cell banks.

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 cell therapy technologies market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.92 billion in 2024 to $5.67 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, increased healthcare expenditure, increased investments by the government in cell-based research, and growing demand for personalized medicine.
The cell therapy technologies market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.87 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising aging population, increasing prevalence of cancer, increasing research and development spending in pharmaceutical sector, and advancements in cell therapies. Major trends in the forecast period include developing innovative products, using advanced technologies, development of innovative cell therapies, investing in manufacturing facilities, and partnerships and collaborations.
The forecast of 14.9% growth over the next five years remains unchanged from the previous projection for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff barriers are expected to hamper the U.S. market by increasing the cost of automated cell processing systems and bioreactors sourced from Germany and Switzerland, thereby delaying regenerative treatments and elevating cell therapy manufacturing costs by 25-40%. 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 global cell therapy technologies market has experienced growth, driven by increasing government investments in cell-based research. Governments are allocating funds to support research activities focused on developing therapies for various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and more. An example of this investment trend is observed in the actions of The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), a research center dedicated to stem cell research. In May 2022, CIRM invested over $11 million to fund a clinical trial for a cell therapy designed to treat throat cancer. The success of this therapy could potentially spare patients from undergoing radiotherapy and its associated side effects.
The rising incidence of cancer is anticipated to fuel the growth of the cell therapy technologies market throughout the forecast period. Cell therapy utilizes living cells as therapeutic agents to combat diseases. In the context of cancer treatment, cell therapy harnesses the immune system's natural capability to identify and eliminate abnormal cells within the body. For example, in January 2024, the American Cancer Society, a US-based nonprofit organization focused on cancer advocacy, reported that the number of cancer cases rose to 2,001,140, up from 1,958,310 in 2023, indicating a growth of 2.19%. Consequently, the increase in cancer cases is expected to significantly contribute to the expansion of the cell therapy technologies market in the future.
Major companies are focusing on developing innovative products using advanced technologies to achieve growth in the dynamic landscape of the cell therapy technologies market. An illustrative example of this trend is seen in the actions of Invetech, an Australia-based company specializing in the design, engineering, and manufacture of commercial-scale diagnostic products and cell and gene therapies. In June 2022, Invetech launched Korus, a novel closed system for autologous cell therapies. Korus is designed to redefine industry standards in elutriation and cell wash by utilizing a mild elutriation process that provides a cleaner cell population for various cell therapy production processes, such as tumor-infiltrated lymphocytes (TIL), dendritic cells, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells, or induced pluripotent stem cell (IPSC)-derived therapy. The technology features elutriation and cell wash using gentle counterflow centrifugation, resulting in purified cell populations for downstream processing development and commercial manufacture. Korus aims to enhance overall process performance through improved recovery and purity of target cells, enabling developers to expedite clinical development and scale-up of their products.
Product innovation remains a key focus in the cell therapy technologies market, with companies striving to develop cutting-edge products to solidify their market positions. In September 2022, denovoMATRIX GmbH, a Germany-based innovator in cell and gene therapy manufacturing, launched animal component-free cell culture product lines at cell therapy grade (CTG). These product lines are equipped with documentation and traceability information to comply with industry regulatory standards, catering to the stem cell therapy manufacturing market. Additionally, in December 2021, Novartis, a Switzerland-based pharmaceutical corporation, introduced T-Charge, its next-generation CAR-T platform. T-Charge serves as the foundation for various new investigational CAR-T cell therapies in the Novartis pipeline. The platform preserves T cell stemness, enhancing proliferative potential and reducing exhausted T cells in the product.
