GENE THERAPY MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
Congenital abnormalities and inherited genetic mutations encompass a diverse range of disorders, including oncological disorders, genetic disorders, autoimmune disorders and neurological disorders. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), genetic disorders affect 10 out of every 1,000 individuals, resulting in over 70 million people living with these conditions globally. Notably, more than 40% of infant mortality worldwide is linked to various genetic disorders. At present, several research initiatives are underway to develop safe and effective methods to selectively correct (the mutated, disease-causing) genes of individual patients. Of these, gene therapies have emerged as a promising option. These therapies are designed to target the underlying genetic cause of a disease, either by introducing a healthy version of the mutated gene or by disabling the functions of genes that cause the disease within the body. It is worth highlighting that over 1,100 clinical trials related to gene therapies have been registered in the past few years, indicating substantial research activity. Additionally, as per the USFDA, 10 to 20 therapies are expected to gain market access, each year, till 2025. Driven by the collaborative efforts of gene therapy companies and an increasing preference for effective single-dose treatments, the gene therapy market is set to experience significant growth during the forecast period.

Currently, Gene Augmentation Segment Occupies the Largest Share of the Gene Therapies Market
Based on the type of therapy, the market is segmented into gene augmentation, gene editing, gene regulation, oncolytic immunotherapies and other therapies. Owing to their ability to deliver therapeutic genes to the patient's genome, fewer side effects and precisely correcting the genomic mutations, the gene therapy market is currently dominated by gene augmentation therapies. This trend is likely to remain the same in the mid-to-long term.
In Vivo Gene Delivery Method is Likely to Dominate the Gene Therapies Market During the Forecast Period
Based on the type of gene delivery method, the market is segmented into ex vivo and in vivo gene delivery methods. It is worth highlighting that, at present, in vivo gene delivery method holds a larger share of the gene therapy market. This trend is likely to remain the same in the coming decade.
Intravenous Route of Administration is Likely to Dominate the Gene Therapy Market During the Forecast Period
Based on the route of administration, the market is segmented into intramuscular, intratumoral, intravenous, subretinal and other routes of administration. It is worth highlighting that majority of the current gene therapy market is captured by the intravenous route of administration and this trend is unlikely to change in mid-long term. This can be attributed to the fact that gene therapies allow widespread distribution of the gene-carrying therapeutic vector to multiple target organs. In addition, intravenous administration is easier to administer and minimally invasive compared to other methods like intralesional or intratumoral injection.
North America Accounts for the Largest Share of the Market
Based on the key geographical regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Rest of the World.
