The cell therapy manufacturing market is valued at USD 4.90 billion in 2024 growing at a CAGR of 9.90% during the forecast period 2024-2035.
Currently, over 300 cell therapies are in various stages of clinical development, with more than 1,930 clinical studies initiated since 2019 focusing on these candidates. Several of these commercialized cell therapies have emerged as top-selling drugs in the healthcare sector. For example, Gilead Sciences reported that Yescarta(R) achieved sales exceeding USD 1.5 billion, while Tecartus(R) generated sales of USD 370 million in 2023.
Given the substantial evidence supporting the clinical benefits and therapeutic potential of cell therapies, stakeholders are now concentrating on optimizing the manufacturing processes for these therapies. In recent years, numerous advanced automation technologies and platforms have been developed, demonstrating the potential to significantly lower manufacturing costs, thus making these products more affordable. One notable innovation, GMP-In-A Box, offers several advantages, including increased throughput, reduced idle time between batch runs, and decreased manual labor. However, the overall automation process faces challenges due to the complex steps involved in cell therapy manufacturing. Additionally, the lack of specialized infrastructure and trained personnel in this field poses significant obstacles to the growth of this segment.
