The global gene therapy market is expected to grow significantly over the next five years, driven by advances in the field of genetic engineering and the increasing prevalence of genetic disorders. Gene therapy is a type of medical treatment that uses genes to treat or prevent a disease. It involves introducing genetic material into cells to either replace or modify a faulty gene or to stimulate the production of a beneficial protein. The global gene therapy market is estimated to reach $9.2 billion by 2025, up from $2.7 billion in 2020, according to a report by Grand View Research.
The growth of the gene therapy market is expected to be driven by several factors, including the increasing prevalence of genetic disorders, advances in genetic engineering, and the growing availability of gene therapy products. In addition, the increasing number of clinical trials for gene therapy products is expected to further fuel market growth.
The report segments the global gene therapy market into product type, application, and region. By product type, the market is divided into viral vector-based gene therapy, non-viral vector-based gene therapy, and gene editing. Viral vector-based gene therapy is expected to be the largest segment of the market, due to its high efficacy and safety.
By application, the market is segmented into oncology, ophthalmology, cardiovascular, and other applications. Oncology is expected to be the largest application segment, due to the increasing prevalence of cancer and the growing demand for gene therapy products to treat the disease.
Regionally, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. North America is expected to be the largest regional market, due to the presence of a large number of companies offering gene therapy products and the increasing prevalence of genetic disorders in the region.
The report also profiles some of the leading players in the gene therapy market, such as Novartis, AstraZeneca, Gilead Sciences, GlaxoSmithKline, and Pfizer. These companies are focusing on developing novel gene therapy products and expanding their product portfolios to gain a competitive edge in the market.
