Cell and gene therapy manufacturing services encompass manufacturing and quality-testing services provided for cell and gene therapy products. These services support the development and production of treatments for degenerative diseases, tissue damage, and genetic disorders. They include good manufacturing practices ancillary reagents, flow cytometry, immunoassays, and gene engineering services.
The primary types of cell and gene therapy manufacturing services include gene therapy and cell therapy. Gene therapy is a medical approach designed to address the underlying genetic cause of a condition to treat or prevent disease. These services are utilized for commercial manufacturing and clinical manufacturing applications across indications such as central nervous system disorders, ophthalmology diseases, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, orthopedic diseases, and oncology diseases. The services are used by academic and research institutes, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and other organizations.
Tariffs are influencing the cell and gene therapy manufacturing services market by increasing the costs of imported bioreactors, single-use consumables, analytical instruments, and cold-chain equipment essential for manufacturing and testing processes. Service providers in North America and Europe are particularly affected because of their reliance on specialized imported manufacturing technologies, while Asia-Pacific is experiencing cost pressures across exported manufacturing services. These tariffs are increasing operating expenses and service prices. At the same time, they are encouraging domestic production of manufacturing equipment, localized supply chains, and capacity expansion across regional advanced therapy manufacturing hubs.
The cell & gene therapy manufacturing services market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cell & gene therapy manufacturing services market statistics, including cell & gene therapy manufacturing services industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a cell & gene therapy manufacturing services market share, detailed cell & gene therapy manufacturing services market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cell & gene therapy manufacturing services industry. This cell & gene therapy manufacturing services 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 & gene therapy manufacturing services market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.48 billion in 2025 to $11.15 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the growing number of cell and gene therapy clinical candidates, increasing early-stage outsourcing of manufacturing activities, expansion of translational research within academic institutions, limited internal manufacturing capabilities, and rising demand for specialized bioprocessing solutions.
The cell & gene therapy manufacturing services market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.28 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the accelerating commercialization of cell and gene therapies, increasing demand for large-scale manufacturing services, expansion of personalized medicine development pipelines, improving regulatory clarity for advanced therapies, and rising investments in advanced therapy manufacturing infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of GMP-compliant production capacity, increasing adoption of automated cell processing technologies, growing demand for scalable viral vector manufacturing, greater integration of advanced quality control technologies, and increasing emphasis on manufacturing standardization.
The increasing prevalence of cancer and other diseases targeted by advanced therapies is expected to drive the growth of the cell and gene therapy manufacturing services market in the coming years. Cancer is a serious disease characterized by the rapid and uncontrolled multiplication of cells, which can lead to abnormal tissue growth. Cell and gene therapies are emerging as promising approaches for addressing the increasing burden of cancer, thereby contributing to the demand for innovative and effective treatment options. For instance, in February 2025, according to the American Cancer Society, a US-based nonprofit cancer advocacy organization, an estimated 316,950 new cases of invasive breast cancer were expected to be diagnosed among women in the US in 2025, along with 2,800 cases among men. Therefore, the high prevalence of cancer and other target diseases is driving the growth of the cell and gene therapy manufacturing services market.
Key companies operating in the cell and gene therapy manufacturing services market are concentrating on developing innovative biomanufacturing technologies to improve scalability, manufacturing efficiency, and the overall quality of cell and gene therapies. For example, in September 2025, ARPA-H, a US-based government health agency, launched a program designed to stimulate innovative biomanufacturing for cell and gene therapies. The program seeks to accelerate the development of advanced manufacturing platforms, enhance production yields, and enable cost-effective and scalable manufacturing of complex cell and gene therapy products. By supporting high-risk, high-reward technologies, the initiative is expected to promote innovation in biomanufacturing, strengthen the manufacturing ecosystem, and enable faster patient access to transformative therapies.
In June 2024, Genezen, a US-based gene and cell therapy company, acquired UniQure for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Genezen aims to strengthen its gene therapy manufacturing capabilities, broaden its service offerings, and leverage UniQure's expertise to address the increasing market demand for advanced gene therapies. UniQure is a Netherlands-based biotechnology company specializing in the development of gene therapies for severe diseases.
