Report Summary

Gene Therapy Market Statistics

  • Global gene therapy market size is projected to reach around USD 30 Billion by 2030. 
  • This market growth is expected to be driven by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030.
  • The gene therapy industry was valued at USD 9 Billion in 2023.

The gene therapy market is poised for significant growth in the forecast period, driven by several key factors. These include the increasing prevalence of genetic disorders, a rise in research and development activities, and the expanding geriatric population. Concurrently, elevated healthcare expenditure, heightened health awareness among the general population, and the growing focus of medical research organizations on finding potential cures for rare, genetic, and autoimmune diseases create lucrative prospects for market growth.

What is Gene Therapy?

Gene therapy is an innovative treatment method that utilizes genes to treat diseases. This method involves the insertion of functional genes into cells, replacing faulty genes and targeting genetic disorders. Gene therapy is employed to rectify defective genes, ultimately aimed at either curing a disease or enhancing the body's ability to combat diseases. This is achieved through a range of ways, including replacing mutated genes with functional ones, repairing genes with mutations, and rendering diseased cells more recognizable to the immune system. Typically, a genetically engineered virus serves as a vector to carry and deliver the therapeutic gene into the patient's cells. When successful, this method results in the production of a functioning protein by the newly introduced gene. In the future, gene therapy holds the promise of treating various chronic diseases by directly inserting genes into a patient's cells, potentially reducing the reliance on drugs or surgical procedures.

Gene therapy presents a hopeful alternative for addressing a range of conditions, including inherited disorders, specific types of cancer, and certain viral infections. Gene therapy is a promising treatment approach for treating a wide range of diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, AIDS, cystic fibrosis, cardiovascular ailments, and hemophilia, among others. However, it remains an area of ongoing research to ensure safety and effectiveness. Several techniques are employed in gene therapy, such as gene augmentation therapy, gene inhibition therapy, suicide gene insertion, and other methods. Currently, gene therapy is primarily tested for diseases lacking other cures. With the advancements in therapeutic techniques and gene delivery technologies, the gene therapy market is expected to experience substantial growth. However, it is still a relatively new and complex technology, and it comes with various ethical and safety concerns which the industry players are trying to mitigate.

What are the Growth Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities in Gene Therapy Market? 

Rising Prevalence of Genetic Disorders Drives Gene Therapy Industry Growth

The global gene therapy market is witnessing growth driven by the increasing prevalence of genetic and congenital diseases on a global scale. These genetic diseases, stemming from mutations in genes, disrupt the normal functioning of the body. Traditional treatments for genetic diseases, such as medication and surgery, offer only temporary relief and do not provide a cure. Gene therapy presents a promising alternative by potentially replacing or repairing faulty genes, offering a potential cure for genetic disorders. As the number of individuals affected by genetic diseases continues to rise, there is a growing demand for this therapeutic approach.

According to the Department of Health, as cited by the Government of Western Australia, approximately six out of ten people are likely to experience ailments with genetic ties. These genetic disorders can vary in severity, with an estimated 3 to 5% of newborns in Western Australia born with genetic disorders or birth abnormalities. 

Accelerated Regulatory Approvals Boosts Gene Therapy Market Growth 

Gene therapy products are subjected to stringent regulatory evaluations before receiving approval. These therapies work at the genetic level, providing therapeutic effects that are notably more effective and enduring than traditional medicines. The advantage of this longevity has led to an increasing number of approvals for gene therapy products. The US FDA, for instance, has granted approval to over 10 such products between 2021 and 2024, with a substantial number of products in the clinical pipeline anticipated to secure final approval in the forecast period. Consequently, this factor significantly propels gene therapy market growth during the forecast period.
