Gene Therapy Industry Overview
The global gene therapy market size was valued at USD 2.26 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 10.0 billion by 2028, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.4% from during forecast period.
The expanding arena of advanced therapies and gene delivery technologies has created an increasingly competitive dynamic where a substantial number of market players are engaged in the commercialization of their gene therapy products. Therapy developers are investing in collaboration/mergers and acquisition deals as a viable strategy to enhance in-house expertise and strengthen product pipelines. These factors are expected to boost the market growth. Although the high prices of currently available therapies incentivize therapy development, it limits accessibility and can result in market withdrawals due to the lack of economic viability of the products.

Thus, several payment models, such as financial-based agreements and health outcomes-based agreements, have been introduced or suggested to increase the accessibility and market survival of therapies. These models have significantly impacted the adoption of therapies in the market. Currently, the world is trying to mitigate the adverse impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic to restore the revenue flow in markets. The cell and gene therapy sector has been impacted to a considerable extent. Since many universities have shut down and halted all non-essential research & enrollment processes for clinical trials, progress in the ongoing R&D has been slow.
However, several initiatives have been undertaken by biopharma companies to gain a competitive edge in the market. Companies are adopting various market entry strategies, such as biopharma facility expansions, collaborations with other key stakeholders, and development with Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs). For instance, in March 2020, Univercells launched Exothera, a viral vector CDMO that serves cell and gene therapy developers.
The delay in commercialization of Zynteglo due to the pandemic has impeded the market growth to a considerable extent. On the other hand, in July 2020, Novartis received the EMA approval for its two European sites for commercial manufacturing of CAR-T therapies. Furthermore, Kite, a Gilead Company, received the U.S. FDA approval for its Tecartus, a CAR T treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma. These approvals depict the continued momentum of the new area of medicine in this segment.
Gene Therapy Market Segmentation
Based on the Indication Insights, the market is segmented into acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), inherited retinal disease, large b-cell lymphoma, ADA-SCID, melanoma (lesions), beta-thalassemia major/SCD, head & neck squamous, cell carcinoma, peripheral arterial disease, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and others
- Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) led the gene therapy market in 2020 with the highest revenue share of over 41%. However, the large B-cell lymphoma segment is estimated to account for the maximum revenue share by 2028. Although Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a rare disease, it is one of the most common fatal inherited diseases of infancy.
- The development of gene therapy, Zolgensma (AVXS-101), has significantly proven its efficiency in the treatment of SMA, along with changing the disease phenotype. In May 2019, Novartis received approval from the U.S. FDA for Zolgensma, which is designed to address the root cause of SMA. Zolgensma is the first and only approved gene therapy in this segment.
- Novartis and Gilead continue to expand their customer base across the globe for Kymriah and Yescarta, which are designed for the treatment of large B-cell lymphoma. Recently, in May 2019, Novartis received approval to sell its products in Japan. Moreover, as per the investigation, in 2017, around 51% of patients who received Yescarta treatment achieved remission.
Based on the Vector Insights, the market is segmented into lentivirus, AAV, retrovirus & gamma retrovirus, modified herpes simplex virus, adenovirus and non-viral plasmid vector
- The AAV segment led the global market in 2020 and held the largest market share of over 43% as a result of the success of AAV-based Zolgensma. In recent times, usage of AAV is rising significantly across various therapeutic areas, consequently witnessing a considerable demand during the forecast years. Proven records of non-pathogenicity is one of the important key factors boosting their adoption.
- On the other hand, lentiviruses are anticipated to emerge as the fastest-growing vector type segment from 2021 to 2028. This can be attributed to the rising investments by companies and research institutes in this vector type, post-approval of Zynteglo in 2019 and Kymriah in 2017.
- Furthermore, the presence of companies that offer exclusive lentivector platform is accelerating revenue growth in this segment. For instance, Oxford Biomedica Plc has an exclusive lentivector platform, an advanced and safe gene delivery system that can carry payloads of up to 9kb and is capable of permanent modification of dividing and nondividing cells along with no pre-existing immunity.
Based on the Regional Insights, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World
- The North America regional market led the industry in 2020 with a revenue share of more than 55% and will grow further at the fastest CAGR over the forecast years. On account of a strong regulatory framework for promoting the development of cellular therapy and the presence of a substantial number of biopharma companies, several government agencies are investing in the region. This, in turn, is driving the growth of the regional market.
- The presence of centers and institutes engaged in R&D on gene therapies is likely to continue driving the market in North America. Several companies from regions, such as Europe, which have received EU approvals, are planning to receive FDA approvals over.
- On the other hand, Zolgensma’s approval in 2019 has greatly favored the U.S. market. Despite the price controversies, the product managed to witness lucrative revenue growth in the year 2020. These factors are anticipated to maintain the dominance of this region in the global market during the forecast period.
