The lentiviral vector market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for lentiviral vectors has witnessed robust expansion in the recent past. The market is projected to swell from $14.37 billion in 2024 to $16.62 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%.
Such growth during the historical timeframe can be traced back to factors such as the widespread presence of genetic disorders, increasing demand for gene delivery, growth in biotech and pharma sectors, investment in clinical trials, and regulatory approvals.
The lentiviral vector market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for lentiviral vectors is poised for significant expansion in the coming years. The market valuation is projected to reach $29.41 billion by 2029, increasing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.3%.
The anticipated surge during the forecast period is the result of various factors including the advancement of personalized medicine, innovation in gene editing, increased demand for rare disease treatments, the implementation of lentiviral vectors, funding in genomic medicine, and focus on manufacturing scalability. Key trends forecasted for this period encompass the expansion of research & development, incorporation in CAR-T cell treatment, the emergence of next-generation vectors, use in vaccine development, and the evolution of production technologies.
The surge in chronic illnesses is anticipated to spur the growth of the lentiviral vectors market. Chronic illnesses are typically slow-progressing, long-term health conditions that can often persist for a lifetime or several years. Increased aging populations, unhealthy lifestyles, urbanization, and environmental factors contribute to the rise in the prevalence of these diseases. Lentiviral vectors provide effective and adaptable tools for creating vaccines and treatment strategies for these chronic diseases, addressing unfulfilled medical needs and enhancing patient outcomes. For instance, the British Heart Foundation, a cardiovascular research charity based in the UK, reported in September 2024 that in the UK, around 7.6 million people live with heart and circulatory ailments, with the numbers divided almost equally between males and females. These diseases account for about 27% of all deaths in the UK, equating to over 170,000 deaths each year, or approximately 480 deaths daily. This equates to one death every three minutes. Consequently, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is fuelling the expansion of the lentiviral vectors market.
