According to our new research study on "Asia Pacific Cell And Gene Therapy Market Forecast to 2031 -Regional Analysis - by Type, Service, Scale, Service Providers, Transfection Reagents, and End User," the market is anticipated to grow from US$ 1.51 billion in 2024 to US$ 8.98 billion by 2031; the market is expected to register a CAGR of 29.1% from 2025 to 2031. The Asia Pacific cell and gene therapy market growth are attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic and genetic diseases, supportive government initiatives, and the rapid popularity of outsourcing cell and gene therapy manufacturing.
Cell therapy provides the needed working cells for repair or immune defense of the body, whereas gene therapy either adds new genetic instructions or changes the existing ones to fix the disorder or to change the cell's nature. As a result of their combination, the targeted treatments, which are in most cases of a personal nature, can be used for such diseases as cancer, genetic disorders, autoimmune diseases, and degenerative conditions.
The Asia Pacific cell and gene therapy market is categorized into the Japan, China, India, South Korea, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. The rising prevalence of genetic disorders, cancers, and chronic diseases has created a strong need for advanced treatment modalities, motivating investment in cell and gene therapy (CGT) research and commercialization. Governments across countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore are promoting biotechnology innovation through funding, fast-track regulatory pathways, and infrastructure development, accelerating clinical trial approvals and product launches. Cost-effective manufacturing capabilities and a large, diverse patient population make APAC an attractive hub for global pharmaceutical and biotech companies to conduct trials and expand market access. Increasing awareness of personalized medicine and improvements in healthcare infrastructure contribute to early adoption of advanced therapies. As academic institutions, research organizations, and hospitals collaborate more closely, translational research and technology transfer accelerate, boosting innovation.
According to GLOBOCAN 2022 data from the International Agency for Research on Cancer, China reported approximately 4,824,700 new cancer cases and 2,574,200 cancer deaths. The rising prevalence of cancer is underscoring the urgent need for targeted therapies, such as CAR-T cells. According to a report by China's Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) under the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in June 2025, 115 clinical trials for CGT products were registered in 2024, representing a 42% increase from 2023. Companies such as Neukio are exploring allogeneic immune cell technologies, such as iPSC-CAR-NK cells, to address current limitations in cell therapy. These technological advancements enhance the efficiency and scalability of CGT manufacturing, driving the demand for specialized CDMO services. OBiO Technology, a leading CDMO in China specializing in cell and gene therapies, operates 15 GMP-certified vector production lines and 20 GMP cell therapy production lines.
India faces a staggering burden of diseases amenable to cell and gene therapies, particularly cancers and rare genetic disorders, driving urgent innovation in this sector. According to GLOBOCAN 2022 projections from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the country recorded 1,413,316 new cancer cases in 2022, contributing to over 900,000 deaths in the same year. Rare genetic diseases affect approximately 70 million Indians, exacerbated by high rates of consanguinity and endogamy that elevate recessive mutation prevalence, with over 450 such conditions documented nationally by the Translational Genomics Institute of Genetics and Society (TIGS). Hemophilia impacts nearly 48,000 individuals with type A alone, based on World Federation of Hemophilia estimates.
