The global CAR T cell therapy market is growing continuously due to innovation and development in this therapy. As a result, the Global CAR T cell therapy market is expected to be worth USD 7.22 billion by 2032 from USD 2.62 billion in 2024, growing with a healthy CAGR of 13.5% during the forecast period.
CAR T cell therapy is one of the effective treatment options for cancer. CAR T cell therapy is an immunotherapy in which a patient’s T cells are collected and genetically modified to make them capable of attacking and killing cancer cells. The genetically engineered T cells would be infused into the patient’s body to fight the cancer cells. The demand for these therapies is growing significantly due to the benefits of CAR T cell therapies among healthcare providers and patients. On the other side, the adoption and access to CAR T cell therapies are limited due to the high costs associated and unavailability.
The number of people who have cancer is growing significantly worldwide with each year passing. Cancer caused one in every six deaths in 2020, said WHO. As per the data published by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), an estimated 1,752,735 new cancer cases and 599,589 cancer deaths were recorded in 2019. CAR T cell therapy has gained popularity as one of the effective treatment options to fight against cancer. It has a history of promising results in treating leukemia and lymphoma cancers. Due to this, the adoption of CAR T cell therapies is growing and driving the market growth. To date, the USFDA approved six CAR T cell therapies.
The governments of several countries have taken numerous initiatives to promote awareness regarding CAR T cell therapies among people and funded to conduct of R&D around CAR T cell therapies. For instance, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) invested hefty amounts in the research and development of CAR T cell therapies and established several research centers. In addition, the governments of some countries have extended their support for CAR T cell therapies by providing regulatory support, favorable reimbursement policies, partnering with private companies, and conducting clinical trials. Such initiatives and investments from the governments are anticipated to boost the growth of the CAR T cell therapy market.
The key market players such as Novartis and Kite Pharma, have announced that they spend huge amounts on the R&D of CAR T cell therapies to develop new therapies and improve their effectiveness. In addition, the rising number of advancements in the biotechnology industry and growing awareness among healthcare providers and patients regarding the benefits of CAR T cell therapy are boosting the market’s growth rate. Furthermore, implementing advanced technologies and innovative treatment procedures with fewer side effects is expected to surge the market's growth rate. Furthermore, the growing investments in research institutes related to cell therapy are another considerable factor supporting CAR T cell cancer therapy market growth.
CAR T cell therapy costs a bit expensive, which cannot be affordable by ordinary people. In addition, the lack of awareness in rural areas regarding the therapeutic process for cancer disease slightly restrains the CAR T cell therapy market's growth rate. Furthermore, an increasing adverse drug reaction concern with cell therapy in Cytokine syndrome problems and neurological problems is expected to hamper the CAR T cell therapy market growth.
