The drug and gene delivery devices market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for drug and gene delivery devices has witnessed robust growth in the recent past. The market, which stood at $0.61 billion in 2024, is projected to reach $0.67 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%.
The expansion during the historic period is credited to the development of healthcare infrastructure, the broadening of personalized gene therapy programs, an amplified emphasis on preventive healthcare, the rising focus on rare and orphan diseases, and an uptick in public consciousness regarding health and treatment choices.
The drug and gene delivery devices market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the market for drug and gene delivery devices is anticipated to witness a substantial increase, expanding to $0.93 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%.
This projected growth can be associated with the escalating prevalence of chronic diseases, the rising need for personalized medicine, heightened awareness and acceptance of gene therapy, demand for non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures, and the increasing appreciation of direct-to-patient delivery models. Looking ahead, the market trend is likely to feature breakthroughs in biotechnology and genetic engineering, advancements in drug delivery system technologies, an increase in research and development funding, the creation of innovative delivery platforms, and advancements in diagnostic technologies.
The drug and gene delivery devices market is set to expand, fueled by the growing usage of gene therapy. Gene therapy, a medical method that modifies a patient's genetic material to treat or fight against diseases, is gaining traction owing to its potential to address the fundamental causes of genetic disorders and chronic diseases, providing transformative treatments where traditional approaches are not effective. Precise targeting and controlled release of therapeutic genes are made possible with the aid of drug and gene delivery devices, improving the effectiveness of treatment. For instance, the National Centre for Biotechnology Information, an American resource for the scientific research community, has projected that patients undergoing gene therapies will rise from 16,244 in 2020 to an estimated 94,696 in 2025. As a result, the upswing in the adoption of gene therapy is accelerating the growth of the drug and gene delivery devices market.
