Synopsis
The global market for Gene Therapy was estimated to be worth US$ 11480 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 61870 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 27.6% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Gene therapy is an experimental treatment that involves introducing genetic material into a person’s cells to fight or prevent disease. Researchers are studying gene therapy for a number of diseases, such as severe combined immuno-deficiencies, hemophilia, Parkinson's disease, cancer and even HIV, through a number of different approaches. A gene can be delivered to a cell using a carrier known as a “vector.” The most common types of vectors used in gene therapy are viruses. The viruses used in gene therapy are altered to make them safe, although some risks still exist with gene therapy. The technology is still in its infancy.
The Gene Therapy market is driven by the growing demand for innovative treatments for rare genetic disorders, cancers, and chronic diseases that lack effective conventional therapies. Advancements in gene editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9, improved viral and non-viral delivery vectors, and increasing knowledge of the human genome have made gene therapy a promising option in precision medicine. Regulatory agencies are also offering accelerated approval pathways for breakthrough gene therapies, encouraging investment and speeding up clinical development. In addition, rising public and private funding, along with successful commercialization of landmark therapies like Zolgensma and Luxturna, are fueling confidence and expansion in this market.
Despite its potential, the Gene Therapy market faces several critical challenges, including high development and treatment costs, complex manufacturing processes, and safety concerns. Producing gene therapies requires highly specialized facilities and stringent quality control, leading to limited scalability and high prices, which can exceed millions of dollars per patient. Furthermore, long-term safety data are still lacking, with concerns over immune responses, off-target effects, and durability of treatment outcomes. Regulatory, ethical, and reimbursement hurdles also pose significant barriers to broader adoption. Addressing these challenges is essential to ensure accessibility, affordability, and the long-term success of gene therapy as a mainstream medical solution.
