Gene Therapy Market : High incidence of cancer & other targeted diseases to drive market growth

Global Market Overview and Growth Drivers:

The global gene therapy market is estimated to grow from USD 3.8 billion in 2019 to USD 13.0 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 27.8%. The growth of this market is majorly driven by the high incidence of cancer and other target diseases, availability of reimbursements, and the increasing funding for gene therapy research. However, the high cost of gene therapies is expected to hamper market growth to a certain extent during the forecast period.

The demand for gene therapies for the treatment of cancer is estimated to grow at a high rate during the forecast period

Based on indication, the market is segmented into neurological diseases, cancer, hepatological diseases, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and other indications. The cancer segment is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the approval of a growing number of gene therapies for the treatment of cancer and the rising incidence of hematologic cancers.
