Gene Therapy act at the genetic level to produce therapeutic effects that are more effective and long-lasting than traditional medicines. Gene therapy involves the introduction of genetic material into a patient’s cells to address a medical condition or to improve their overall health condition. Using viruses as genetic vectors to deliver the desired gene to the target cells is one method of how gene therapy functions. These vectors are classified as RNA-based or DNA-based viral vectors depending on the type of genome they contain.
There is an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases such as neurological disorders, oncology disorders, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and rare genetic disorders like muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis, as well as cardiovascular diseases globally.
Expanding therapeutic areas in unmet medical needs along with advancements in gene delivery technologies are helping companies gain a first-mover advantage and increasing competition among leading players for approval and commercialization of gene therapies.
The number of regulatory approvals for gene therapy products is increasing due to the advantages of these products, especially in the USA and Europe. For instance, the FDA estimated that by 2025, 10 to 20 innovative cell and gene therapies will be approved each year. The USFDA has received more than 200 applications for gene therapy.
RestraintsThe patient pool for gene therapies is anticipated to create opportunities in the coming years due to a wide range of treatment possibilities and effective targeting of cells. Rising healthcare expenditure, improved healthcare infrastructure, and the availability of reimbursement policies are expected to create several opportunities for key players. Gene therapy holds tremendous promise for treating a wide range of genetic disorders and rare diseases.
