Gene therapy involves the transmission of genetic material, typically in the form of a carrier or vector, and the uptake of the gene into the proper body cells. Cell therapy includes introducing cells into the patient with the appropriate function. Some procedures combine cell therapy with gene therapy.
The main types of products in cell and gene therapies are cell therapy and gene therapy. Gene therapy is a branch of medicine that focuses on modifying the genetic material of cells to achieve a therapeutic effect or to heal disease by repairing or reconstructing damaged genetic material. The different applications include oncology, dermatology, musculoskeletal, and others and involve various sectors such as hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, cancer care centers, wound care centers, and others.
Tariffs have impacted the cell and gene therapy market by raising the cost of imported viral vectors, laboratory reagents, and specialized delivery equipment. Segments like CAR-T cell therapy and viral vector-based gene therapy are most affected, with North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions like China and India facing significant import duties. This has increased operational costs and slowed therapy deployment. On the positive side, tariffs have encouraged local manufacturing, investment in domestic R&D, and innovation in cost-effective therapy delivery systems.
The cell and gene therapy market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cell and gene therapy market statistics, including cell and gene therapy industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a cell and gene therapy market share, detailed cell and gene therapy market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cell and gene therapy industry. This cell and gene 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 cell and gene therapy market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $21.33 billion in 2025 to $26.21 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of cell and gene therapies, reliance on conventional treatment modalities, high cost of early-generation therapies, growing incidence of oncology and neurological disorders, lack of specialized treatment centers.
The cell and gene therapy market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $60.58 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to development of advanced car-t and genome editing therapies, expansion of clinical trials and research programs, increasing adoption of personalized medicine, rising government support and funding for rare disease treatments, integration of digital platforms for therapy monitoring and patient management. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of car-t and stem cell therapies, rising investment in gene therapy for oncology and rare diseases, growth in personalized and targeted cell-based treatments, expansion of hospital and ambulatory surgical centers offering advanced therapies, integration of genome editing and viral vector-based technologies in clinical practice.
A growing number of ongoing clinical trials is expected to propel the growth of the cell and gene therapy market going forward. Clinical trials are research studies conducted with human participants to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new medical treatments, interventions, or diagnostic procedures. Clinical trials play a vital role in the development and advancement of cell and gene therapy. They provide a safe and controlled environment to test new therapies and collect data on their safety and efficacy. For instance, in December 2024, according to the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI), a UK-based organization, highlighted that the number of pharmaceutical industry trials launched in the UK increased for the second consecutive year, rising from 411 in 2022 to 426 in 2023. Therefore, a growing number of ongoing clinical trials is driving the growth of the cell and gene therapy market.
Major companies operating in the cell and gene therapy market are increasing their focus on introducing agnostic systems to gain a competitive edge in the market. Agnostic systems refer to systems that are integrated with a variety of different cell and gene therapy (CGT) software platforms, as well as biopharmaceutical or provider-facing platforms. For instance, in April 2023, AmerisourceBergen, a US-based healthcare company, launched the Cell and Gene Therapy Integration Hub, a new platform-agnostic system that aims to improve connectivity across the cell and gene therapy (CGT) treatment journey to enable an enhanced patient and provider experience. The hub is powered by the company's customer relationship management system and is designed to speed up the benefits investigation process, give a real-time view of therapy development and transportation status, and assist in coordinating patient support.
