The industry gained popularity with highly successful results in its clinical and preclinical trials. With the increased investment in R&D, rising demand for DNA-based therapeutics, and acceptable gene therapy, the growth of the cancer gene therapy market will increase over the forecast period.
The cancer gene therapy market was negatively impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The treatment of the disease witnessed a decline in demand during the pandemic owing to the rising cases of COVID-19. The diagnosis of diseases was suspended amid the pandemic as people were afraid to visit hospitals. Many hospitals and clinics were completely utilized by COVID-19 treatments. However, after the pandemic, the market is expected to grow during the forecast period.
As this treatment is preclinically and clinically getting high success rates, the demand for treatment is increasing in many countries, such as India, China, the U.S., and many others. With the increasing number of cancer cases, advancements are made in molecular biology, virology, and immunology. With the advanced infrastructure, healthcare advancement, and rising R&D investment, the industry is expected to grow in the future.

Growth Drivers
The increasing prevalence of cancer is the primary key driver for the growth of the industry. It is considered to be the second largest death cause in the world. Many factors can cause cancer, but the key five factors are tobacco use, alcohol consumption, low physical activity, high body mass index (BMI), and low intake of fruits and vegetables.
The regulatory environment is improving; thus, the industry will expand during the forecast period. The treatment is directly connected to consumer health; hence the quality of the product, i.e., vectors, cannot be compromised. Many laws and regulations are made for the production of vectors (products), as well as post-marketing. Thus, a single flaw is not found, as a single defect can be disastrous to patient health. Thus, with the availability of high-quality vectors (product), the industry will expand.
The rising R&D investment, technology advancement, and advanced infrastructure are the major drivers for the growth of the cancer gene therapy market. Government organizations are focusing on better healthcare infrastructure with higher investment.
The cancer gene therapy market is expected to grow as major key players are launching new products with better success rates and are emerging in a massive untapped market, thus opening more opportunities. Many new innovative therapies are available for cancer treatment that are ethically acceptable, thus contributing to the industry’s growth.
The market is primarily segmented based on therapy, end-use, and region.

In therapy type, gene-induced immunotherapy dominates the market owing to the rising investment in R&D and advancements in gene technology. In gene-induced immunotherapy, genes are induced in the body, which are pieces of DNA to immune the body with healthy genes; it can be done in various ways.
The genes are induced to kill the cancer cells and stop their growth in the body; some of the methods are ACT, CAR-T, TCR, TIL, and many more. With the higher government organization investment in R&D, the segment is anticipated to dominate the industry over the forecast period.
The demand for the industry is higher in hospitals, contributing to the growth of the global market, and is anticipated to grow during the forecast period owing to the increasing prevalence of cancer. With the higher increase in the geriatric population around the globe, diseases are spreading, thus increasing the prevalence of cancer.
The advancement in healthcare infrastructure is one of the reasons for the growth as hospitals provide every treatment under one roof, thus contributing to the growth. Research institutes and diagnostics centers also contribute to the development of the end-user segment.
North America dominates the market with the highest revenue share in 2021 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period owing to technological advancements as well as the rising investment in R&D. Many major key players of the market are present in North America, bringing new advancements and technology. The well-established healthcare infrastructure is one of the reasons North America dominates the industry.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow at higher CARG during the forecast period. The increasing geriatric population can be one of the reasons for the growth. Increasing government investment and initiatives in healthcare with advancements in technology contributes to the growth of the industry.
