Transfection technologies refer to the intentional introduction of nucleic acids into cells through chemical, physical, or biological methods to modify gene expression or alter genetic content. These technologies are employed to study gene function, produce proteins, silence genes via RNA interference (siRNA/miRNA), and potentially treat genetic diseases by introducing functional genes.
The primary product types in transfection technology include kits and reagents, equipment, and other related items. Kits and reagents offer ready-to-use solutions that facilitate the introduction of nucleic acids into cells for various applications, such as gene expression and genome editing. Transfection is carried out using various methods, including lipofection, electroporation, nucleofection, cotransfection, cationic lipid transfection, and in-vivo transfection. These methods are applied in several areas, including virus production, protein production, gene silencing, stem cell reprogramming and differentiation, stable cell line generation, therapeutic delivery, and biomedical research. The end users of transfection technologies encompass pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, contract research organizations (CROs), contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs), academic and research institutes, among others.

The transfection technologies market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.11 billion in 2023 to $1.21 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to several key factors, including the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, the expanded applications of transfection technologies, a growing demand for cell and gene therapies, rising investments in research and development (R&D), and the increasing incidence of cancer.
The transfection technologies market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.70 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The projected growth during the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the rising prevalence of chronic and immunological diseases, an increasing need for cell-based therapies, heightened demand for protein production, growing investments and funding in the development of drug delivery systems, and a rising demand for monoclonal antibodies. Key trends expected to influence this period include an increase in research and development focused on cell-based therapies, the adoption of technologically advanced transfection methods, greater demand for advanced therapeutic delivery systems, the increased use of dual-reporter assays and co-transfection experiments, and a heightened emphasis on personalized medicine.
The anticipated growth of the transfection technologies market is closely tied to the rising prominence of gene therapy. This innovative approach aims to treat or prevent diseases through gene modification, which encompasses the insertion, repair, or replacement of defective genes. The surge in gene therapy is propelled by advancements in genetic research, improved delivery methods, and its capacity to address previously untreatable genetic disorders. Transfection technologies play a pivotal role in gene therapy, enabling the precise, safe, and effective transfer of genetic material into cells. They facilitate both temporary and permanent modifications to the genome, which are crucial for treating genetic disorders and cancers. For example, a report from the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) and Citeline, published in July 2023, indicated that by the end of the first quarter (Q1) of 2023, there were 247 gene therapies in Phase II. This number saw a 5% increase, reaching 260 by the end of the second quarter (Q2). Thus, the expansion of gene therapy is a significant driver for the transfection technologies market.
Leading companies in the transfection technologies sector are prioritizing the development of advanced technologies, such as mechanoporation transfection systems, to facilitate more sophisticated and personalized applications in both research and therapeutic contexts. Mechanoporation systems utilize mechanical forces to create temporary openings in cell membranes, allowing for the efficient entry of genetic material. This minimally invasive method enhances cell viability while ensuring effective transfection. A notable example is the launch of CellPore by STEMCELL Technologies, a Canada-based biotechnology firm, in July 2024. This innovative transfection system features a benchtop unit alongside the CellPore Transfection Kit 300, which includes a specialized reagent kit and single-use delivery cartridges. By leveraging controlled, rapid deformation within microfluidic channels, CellPore efficiently delivers small molecules, nucleic acids, proteins, and gene editing complexes into cells, achieving minimal disruption and high viability. Such capabilities are essential for advancing research and developing state-of-the-art cell and gene therapies.
