Cell and Gene Therapy CDMO Market Forecast Highlights Steady Expansion with 27% CAGR by 2030

 


The global cell and gene therapy CDMO market is anticipated to witness a CAGR of ~27% during the forecast period, driven by the growing burden of cancer and other targeted diseases, rapidly expanding research on cell and gene therapies and robust CGT pipeline, substantial funding by venture capitalists, and technological innovations. 

The development and approval of CAR-T cell therapies, such as Kymriah and Yescarta and their success in combating hematological malignancies have boosted investment in CGT. A robust CGT pipeline with a growing number of product approvals, strong support from large pharma and biotech, and consistent investor interest is set to boost the demand for CGT services. Also, a growing pipeline of therapies is nearing regulatory decisions. Additionally, CGT's reach is expanding across new indications. For instance, newer CAR-T therapies like Abecma (idecabtagene vicleucel) and Carvykti (ciltacabtagene autoleucel), which were initially approved for multiple myeloma, are indeed expanding their indications beyond B-cell cancers.

Growing demand for full-service/one-stop-shop CDMOs

Full-service CDMOs that can assist with both development and manufacturing are in high demand. Much of the gene therapy development has come from smaller biotech companies or research universities that rely on CDMOs from preclinical development through packaging. Big pharma and biopharma companies also prefer a full-service CDMO to speed up the timeline and free up resources to focus on innovation and marketing.

“There is growing demand for cell and gene therapy CDMOs who can offer integrated development, manufacturing, and testing services. For cell and gene therapy companies, outsourcing manufacturing and testing operations to a capable CDMO can reduce development timelines, provide supplementary capacity, and ultimately control costs.”- Senior Director, Tier 1 CGT CDMO, US

Greater focus on long-term strategic collaborations

The cell and gene therapy industry has witnessed a multi-fold rise in the number of collaborations between manufacturers/innovators and CDMOs in the form of joint ventures, manufacturing agreements, licensing agreements, service alliances, etc. For instance,

  • In April 2025, Cell Therapies Pty Ltd and Xellera Therapeutics entered into a strategic partnership to accelerate the development and accessibility of cell and gene therapies across the Asia-Pacific region, focusing on expanding CGT access in Australia and Hong Kong through enhanced GMP manufacturing capabilities and collaborative innovation
  • In October 2024, CytoImmune, a Biotechnology Company, established a strategic partnership with Matica Bio, a CDMO specializing in viral vectors, wherein Matica Bio will produce viral vectors at its GMP facility, and CytoImmune will manufacture its cell therapy in Puerto Rico, aiming to advance a clinical cell therapy program for cancer treatment

Substantial outsourcing in the CGT industry due to lack of internal capabilities

Cell and gene therapy is a highly specialized area that requires substantial production investments, advanced infrastructure, and highly skilled professionals. Many large pharmaceutical companies, despite their scale, often lack the ready-to-go infrastructure and technical setups required to manage these therapies internally. As a result, they turn to specialized CDMOs to assist them in the development and manufacturing of CGT therapies. Additionally, the surge in the number of small biotech companies entering the market without having their advanced manufacturing facility and technical expertise has further amplified the reliance on CDMOs. With only a limited number of CGT-focused manufacturers in the market, the gap between demand and supply has created a strong growth opportunity for CDMOs with specialized CGT capabilities.

North America is the largest and fastest growing region

North America is the largest and fastest-growing cell & gene therapy (CGT) CDMO market. It is expected to continue its leadership in the coming 5 years owing to growing manufacturing capacity for CGTs, favorable regulatory approval process, growing cell and gene therapy approvals per year, and strong product pipeline of CGTs in the U.S. The regulatory approval process in the US is evolving and becoming favorable for innovators for developing cell and gene therapy products. The US FDA is designating orphan drug status, breakthrough designation, accelerated approvals, and regenerative medicine advanced therapy (RMAT) designations for cell and gene therapies to expedite the approval process.

Competitive Landscape Analysis

The cell & gene therapy (CGT) CDMO market is marked by the presence of both established players and several small and mid-sized players. Some of the key players in the market include Lonza, Catalent, Inc. (acquired by Novo Holdings), Cytiva (Danaher Corporation), Samsung Biologics, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Novartis AG, Charles River Laboratories, AGC Biologics, OmniaBio, Rentschler Biopharma SE, and WuXi AppTec, among several others.

Global Multi Cancer Early Detection Market expanding 15–20% CAGR through personalized care 2030

  The multi cancer early detection market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 15-20% during the forecast period.  This growth is primarily due to the rising awareness and increasing demand for early-stage screening tools, especially as cancer rates continue to rise globally, and technological advancements in screening methods. However, high costs and strict regulations can still hinder the market growth.  Multi Cancer Early Detection (MCED) refers to tests designed to detect multiple cancers, often from a single blood sample, unlike traditional methods, which can include multiple diagnostic tests or biopsies. These tests look for signs like DNA methylation patterns or small traces of tumor DNA floating in the bloodstream. The primary goal is early cancer detection, ideally before any symptoms appear, so the overall treatment is more effective and less expensive.
