MARKET DRIVERS

Funding Support in Europe for CGTs: US companies have primarily driven the growth of investments in CGT projects in recent years. The US market saw a 53% increase in CGT investment in 2021 compared to the previous year, while Europe experienced an 8% loss of funding. For European CGT development to keep up with global trends, additional funds are required to compensate for the loss in investment from 2021. More collaboration and investment from the European pharmaceutical market into academic research projects in CGTs are needed. Governments, including CGTs, can drive such collaborations and further investment to increase their position in the biopharma market. These initiatives can affect more private investment and talent in Europe, creating conditions needed to turn the European CGT market around.

Rising use of CGT Products for Disease Care: Cell & gene therapy solutions treat various diseases. They help to diagnose diseases by replacing, inactivating, and introducing genes into the body. Cell & gene therapy has a different way of treating diseases. Some of the biggest strides in cell & gene therapy are in the field of oncology, leading to targeted, personalized treatments that positively influence the market growth. Different technologies and customized treatments have driven the demand for cell & gene therapy solutions over the last few decades. In disease diagnosis, cell therapies are mainly used for cancer, diabetes, genetic disorders, musculoskeletal diseases, eye disorders, and other diseases. As per the Medicine in Development report, there are around 250+ products in the development stage for a broad range of diseases.
