Exosomes are extracellular vesicles (EVs) originating from endosomes, with sizes ranging from 30 to 150 nanometers. Secreted by nearly all cell types, exosomes play a key role in cell communication by carrying cell-specific proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids that are selectively absorbed by recipient cells.
Recent advancements in exosome technology are driving growth in their application across liquid biopsy, precision medicine, and regenerative medicine. Cancer-derived exosomes, in particular, are valuable for their ability to regulate angiogenesis, metastasis, and immunity, making them crucial for cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatment selection.
Exosome cargos offer prognostic insights for various diseases, including cardiovascular, renal, neurodegenerative, and metabolic disorders, as well as cancer. The discovery of numerous biomolecules within exosomes has spurred extensive research into their use as cancer biomarkers for detection, monitoring, and treatment.
Exosomes are present in many biofluids such as serum, plasma, urine, and saliva, making them ideal for minimally invasive diagnostics. They also serve as prognostic indicators and predictors of treatment responses. Furthermore, exosomes are being investigated for therapeutic use. For instance, exosomes can be engineered to carry therapeutic siRNA or proteins for targeted treatment of diseases caused by defective or missing molecules. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) derived exosomes have shown potential in reducing inflammation, preventing scar tissue formation, and modulating immune responses.
The exosome field, once underappreciated, is now rapidly evolving. Recent publications highlight the significant contributions of U.S. authors and Chinese researchers, with Dr. Susanne Gabrielsson from the Karolinska Institutet and Unicyte AG leading in relevant scientific literature.
BioInformant's global strategic report details the burgeoning exosome market, including trends in patents, grants, publications, and clinical trials. It covers industry partnerships, M&A activities, and financing, with insights into the competitive landscape and market forecasts through 2030.
Exosome-based diagnostics and therapeutics are expanding, with 388 clinical trials currently underway. Although no exosome therapeutics have received marketing approval yet, the first five products are anticipated by 2029. Exosomes offer promising advantages over traditional therapies, including targeted delivery, reduced side effects, and avoidance of immune detection.
In addition to medical applications, exosomes are also being used within cosmetics to promote skin rejuvenation, wound healing, scar revision, and hair restoration. Two exosome-based diagnostics have already received Fast Track approval from the U.S. FDA.
This report is designed to inform market competitors who are developing exosome therapeutics, diagnostics, research products, manufacturing technologies, cosmeceuticals, and of course, ready-to-use exosomes. With the competitive nature of the exosome market, this report offers a valuable resource to stay informed and seize opportunities, without spending countless hours on research.
