Market Overview:

The global gene therapy cell culture media market is experiencing rapid growth due to the increasing adoption of gene therapy for the treatment of various genetic disorders, cancers, and infectious diseases. Gene therapies are used to treat a wide variety of illnesses. Instead of just treating the symptoms, they take a radical approach to treating the underlying cause of the diseases. Additionally, a wide range of previously untreated illnesses, include haematological, ocular, and several other cancers. There also has been an increase in enhanced protein-free media, for the development and growth of viral vectors. Since many gene therapy companies see this as an opportunity to find a vaccine, the demand for gene and cell therapy has increased in clinical trials for the development of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Gene Therapy Cell Culture Media Market was valued at USD 6 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 13.1 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 16.1% from 2024-2028. The major factors that contribute toward the expansion of the Gene Therapy Cell Culture Media Market include a rise in R&D investments and growth in awareness regarding gene therapy


Premium Insights:
