The Global Gene Therapy Market is valued at USD 2.4 billion in 2024 growing at a CAGR of 19.25% during the forecast period 2024-2035.
A diverse range of disorders arising from congenital abnormalities and inherited genetic mutations, including autoimmune disorders, genetic disorders, neurological disorders and oncological disorders significantly impacts individuals' health. These disorders are consequences of certain inherited genetic anomalies that disrupt the normal functioning of genes and adversely affect the process of translation. The statistics presented by the World Health Organization (WHO) states that 10 out of every 1,000 individuals are affected by genetic disorders, contributing to 70 million people globally. In addition, more than 40% of infant mortality globally is associated with various genetic disorders. Therefore, to address such challenges, gene therapies have emerged as a revolutionary approach and have proven to be a promising modality in treating a wide array of diseases, focused on delivering targeted therapies directly to affected organs or cells.
The objective of gene therapy is to comprehend the underlying genetic cause of a disease, followed by either introduction of a healthy version of the mutated gene or by inactivation of the faulty / disease-causing genes in the body. It is worth noticing that in 2003, Gendicine(R) (Sibiono GeneTech) became the world's first gene therapy to receive regulatory approval from the China FDA. In the past two decades, this has led to several breakthroughs related to the development of gene therapies. For instance, in December 2017, the USFDA approved Luxturna(R) (Spark Therapeutics), the first gene therapy intended for the treatment of inherited retinal disorders. Additionally, in May 2019, the USFDA approved ZOLGENSMA(R) (Novartis), the first gene therapy for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy in pediatric patients. It is noteworthy that the therapy received multiple designations, namely breakthrough therapy, fast track, orphan drug and priority review designations resulting in the accelerated approval of the drug in the US. Further, in 2023, five gene therapies received the USFDA market approval for various therapeutic indications.
In addition, the month of April 2024 witnessed a significant increase in the number of active clinical trials (1,100 active clinical trials) for evaluating gene therapies across various phases of clinical studies. Moreover, three gene therapies have already received regulatory approval in 2024, and according to predictions made by USFDA in 2019, it is estimated that 10 to 20 would gain market access, each year, till 2025. It is noteworthy that the favorable results from ongoing clinical research initiatives have spurred investments from both government and private sectors to support the development of these therapeutic products. With the progressing domain, gene therapies are anticipated to be utilized for the treatment of more than 65.6 million patients suffering from a myriad of disease indications, by 2034.
The rapidly evolving gene therapy product portfolio tends to attract an increasing number of startups and big pharma players, marking their presence in the gene therapy market. At present, 345 gene therapy companies are involved in the development of various early and late-stage therapies worldwide. The recent years have observed a significant increase in the integration of novel technologies, such as gene modification, genome editing, genome sequencing and manipulation technologies (molecular / gene switch), in conjugation with advanced gene delivery methods. Additionally, next-generation delivery platforms, including nanoparticles and hybrid vector systems, have been proven to facilitate an effective, precise and safe delivery of gene-based therapeutics, thereby enabling more targeted treatment approaches. With the integration of advancements in technology and growing preference for single-dose effective therapeutics, the gene therapy market is poised to witness substantial market growth during the forecast period.
