Global Cell and Gene Therapy Biomanufacturing Market Industry Overview
The global cell and gene therapy biomanufacturing market was valued at $12.31 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $29.76 billion by 2031, witnessing a CAGR of 10.31% during the forecast period 2022-2031. The growth in the global cell and gene therapy biomanufacturing market is expected to be driven by the increased number of approved therapies and growing infrastructure requirements. In addition, expansion in target indications for cell and gene therapies creates a demand for large-scale biomanufacturing.

Market Lifecycle Stage
The global cell and gene therapy biomanufacturing market is in progressing phase. The cell and gene therapy market is developing rapidly due to its potential to target chronic and rare/orphan diseases that earlier had limited treatment options. Cell and gene therapies available in the market or in the pipeline are the result of years of pioneering research. Currently, there are more than 25 cell and gene therapies approved by the FDA in the last 10 years. These factors are expected to drive the demand for consumables, equipment, and software solutions required for manufacturing cell and gene therapy, thereby augmenting the growth of the cell and gene therapy biomanufacturing market.

Moreover, manufacturers began to produce application-specific cell and gene therapy equipment in recent years.

Impact
The field of medicine is transformed with the commercialization of cell and gene therapies. With the advent of time and introduction of new technologies, cell and gene therapy areas are flourishing. There is constant ongoing research for the development of novel cell and gene therapies. According to the American Society of Gene + Cell Therapy (ASGCT), as of February 2023, there are more than 2,000 clinical trials in the pipeline. The robust clinical pipeline for novel cell and gene entities is expected to create a lucrative opportunity for manufacturers and boost the growth of the cell and gene therapy biomanufacturing market.

Impact of COVID-19
In December 2019, Wuhan, a city in the Hubei region of China, was the site of the first detection of the COVID-19 outbreak. Following the classification of COVID-19 as novel pneumonia due to a cluster of unexplained pneumonia cases, efforts to pinpoint the culprit causing the outbreak and outline its genomic sequence got underway right once. The virus has already spread to every country on the globe, and researchers, governments, and business leaders are working to find answers to the crisis at a scale and speed that has never been seen. Testing for SARS-CoV-2 in the populace is one of the main steps that has been put into place globally, among many other measures used to stop the spread of the disease. The most crucial benefit of testing is that it offers evidence of illness, enabling individuals and those they have come into contact with to take the required precautions, including quarantining, to minimize community exposure.

The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially interrupted social, economic, and political activity around the world due to its unparalleled size and intensity. As a result, the cell and gene therapy (CGT) sector, which has historically struggled with tremendous complexity in the supply of materials, production, and logistical operations, has been disrupted by COVID-19.

The research, production, clinical development, and market introduction of CGTs for diseases unrelated to COVID-19 have all been significantly disrupted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. A lack of manufacturing material supplies, challenges with clinical studies, and delay in the creation of regulatory dossiers are all significant reasons. This has emphasized the significance of tackling the difficulties in CGTs’ supply chain and production to increase resilience during the crisis.

To prevent CGTs’ market access from being significantly disrupted, manufacturing resilience, digitalization, telemedicine, value-based pricing, and creative payment systems may be progressively tapped.
