Cellular immunotherapy represents an innovative approach to immunotherapy where patients are administered T cells, a type of immune cell, to assist the body in combating diseases such as cancer. It harnesses the body's immune system to fight against cancer.
The key therapies within cellular immunotherapy include tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy, engineered T cell receptor (TCR) therapy, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, and natural killer (NK) cell therapy. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy is a form of adoptive cellular therapy involving the extraction of lymphocytes that have infiltrated tumors, their cultivation and amplification in vitro, and subsequent infusion into patients for therapeutic purposes. This therapy finds application in various primary indications, including b-cell malignancies, prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, liver cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, among others, and is utilized in the treatment of conditions such as prostate cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer, ovarian cancer, brain tumors, lung cancer, and more.
The cellular immunotherapy market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cellular immunotherapy market statistics, including cellular immunotherapy industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a cellular immunotherapy market share, detailed cellular immunotherapy market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cellular immunotherapy industry. This cellular immunotherapy market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The cellular immunotherapy market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.72 billion in 2024 to $6.61 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to cancer treatment advancements, clinical success stories, regulatory approvals, growing incidence of targeted diseases.
The cellular immunotherapy market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.27 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion to solid tumors, improved manufacturing, healthcare infrastructure, research funding. Major trends in the forecast period include research and development investments, clinical trial data, combination therapies.
The growth of the cellular immunotherapy market is being propelled by increasing research and successful clinical trials in the field. Companies are dedicated to developing new cellular immunotherapies to address various diseases. As of April 2022, there were 2,756 active cell therapy drugs globally, a 36% increase from 2021, indicating rapid growth in this sector. This growth, particularly in clinical and preclinical stages, is expected to expand the cellular immunotherapy landscape, driving market revenues higher.
The prevalence of cancer is another factor expected to drive the growth of the cellular immunotherapy market. Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, spurring research and investment in cancer therapies, including cellular immunotherapies. These therapies leverage the patient's immune system to combat cancer cells, contributing to the rise of cellular immunotherapies. For instance, the estimated number of people living with cancer in the UK is projected to rise from the current 3 million to 3.5 million by 2025, 4 million by 2030, and 5.3 million by 2040. This growing prevalence highlights the increasing demand for improved cancer care, treatment options, and supportive services, driving advancements and growth in the healthcare and pharmaceutical markets. This underscores the growing demand for effective cancer treatments, further boosting the cellular immunotherapy market.
Companies in the cellular immunotherapy market are focusing on the development of off-the-shelf allogeneic therapies to improve cancer treatment. These therapies use donor cells rather than the patient's cells, offering benefits such as cost-effectiveness, large-scale production, speed, and quality control. Novartis, for example, received expedited FDA approval for Kymriah to treat adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma. Acepodia initiated a phase 1 clinical trial for ACE1702, an allogeneic, off-the-shelf NK cell therapy to treat solid tumors.
Major companies in the cellular immunotherapy market are focusing on technological advancements, such as innovative immunotherapies, to enhance treatment efficacy and broaden their applications. This includes developments in personalized medicine, combination therapies, and scalable manufacturing processes to improve patient outcomes. Immunotherapy is a treatment that leverages the body's immune system to combat diseases like cancer, either by boosting immune responses or employing targeted therapies to focus immune activity on specific cells. For instance, in December 2023, Max Healthcare Institute Limited, an India-based healthcare service provider, introduced CAR-T cell therapy. This groundbreaking cancer treatment employs genetically engineered T cells designed to target and destroy cancer cells, providing a highly personalized approach. CAR-T cell therapy has shown remarkable effectiveness in achieving durable remission rates, particularly in treatment-resistant blood cancers, while minimizing harm to healthy tissues.
In January 2023, AstraZeneca, a UK-based pharmaceutical company, acquired Neogene Therapeutics for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition aims to bolster AstraZeneca's oncology portfolio by advancing the development of innovative T-cell receptor therapies for solid tumors. Neogene Therapeutics, a US-based biotechnology company, specializes in personalized cellular immunotherapy by engineering T-cells to target specific cancer cells, offering a promising approach to treating various types of cancer.
