CRISPR Technology Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

CRISPR Technology Market Analysis

The CRISPR Technology Market size is estimated at USD 3.78 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 9.34 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 19.89% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Factors driving the global market's growth include increasing government and private funding, rising demand for and adoption of CRISPR, and technological advancements.

The growing funding and support activities by the government and private entities, along with the launch of various research projects and programs, are expected to advance CRISPR technology over time. This substantial financial backing is anticipated to enhance the market prospects for CRISPR technology. For instance, in July 2023, Pfizer invested USD 25 million in Caribou Sciences, giving the company a boost of funding for an experimental multiple myeloma treatment. The investment agreement directs Caribou to use the funds to advance CB-011. This CRISPR-edited allogeneic CAR T-cell therapy is currently in Phase 1 testing for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

There has also been a rise in research projects and program grants in the CRISPR domain. For instance, in October 2023, Yale School of Medicine received a grant of USD 40 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for its research on developing a CRISPR gene-editing platform technology capable of reaching the human brain. The innovative new genome-editing technology could lead to treatments or cures for many neurogenetic diseases. Such funding for market players and grants from national institutes are expected to help boost the CRISPR technology market over the forecast period.

Additionally, CRISPR technology advances genome editing across the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and agriculture, enabling scientists to conduct research through faster and more efficient genome editing. For instance, according to a report published by Nature Publications in November 2022, CRISPR gene editing can alter patients' immune cells (T cells) to recognize disease-causing proteins expressed in solid tumors. This work builds on research on genome editing to redirect T cell specificity with transgenic TCR engineering. Thus, owing to its easy, quick, and inexpensive access to vectors and the resulting next-generation tools, the demand for CRISPR technology is expected to increase over the forecast period.

CRISPR-Cas9 works by precisely editing the DNA within cells, allowing researchers to correct genetic mutations associated with inherited eye diseases, neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and Huntington's, and even non-inherited diseases such as cancer and HIV. By targeting and modifying specific genes implicated in these diseases, CRISPR holds promise for potentially treating or preventing diseases at their genetic roots. For instance, according to the study published by Springer Nature in March 2023, the rapid development of CRISPR-based genome editing technology emphasizes the expansion of the CRISPR-Cas toolbox with novel Cas orthologs, engineered variants, and transposon-associated programmable RNA-guided systems.

The abovementioned report also discussed the potential applications of CRISPR-Cas systems in precise genome editing, such as base editing and prime editing, and their revolutionary impact on cardiovascular research. CRISPR-Cas systems have been demonstrated in creating genetically modified in vitro and animal models of cardiovascular diseases, which offer valuable insights into the genetic basis of cardiovascular conditions and potential avenues for therapeutic interventions. Thus, the market studied is projected to record growth over the forecast period in line with increasing government and private funding, rising demand for and adoption of CRISPR, and technological advancements. However, the high costs of CRISPR and ethical concerns related to genetic research are restraining the growth of the market.
