High Cost of Cell and Gene Therapy Manufacturing
As cell and gene therapies involve a complex manufacturing process and use biological components, these therapies are priced exorbitantly. For instance, the cost of Kymriah is ~US$ 475,000, and Yescarta is ~US$ 373,000, respectively. According to the analysis by the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER), the average cost of a gene therapy ranges US$ 1-2 million per dose. The manufacturing of cell and gene therapies involves various risks, such as the black-box effect, amplified failure, and reduced flexibility. The black-box effect refers to the tasks and processes performed in an automated system; there is no visibility to the process, and the progress status is hidden. Thus, the lack of visibility to the manufacturing processes increases failure and reduces the flexibility to adapt to the manufacturing processes. In addition, the most critical challenge for the manufacturers is to gain product approval from the regulatory bodies-such as FDA and EMA-and ensure patient’s safety from the side effects of the therapy.Furthermore, the cost of consumables and equipment is much higher, which leads to the premium cost of cell therapies. For instance, the cost of the reagent kit offered by Miltenyi Biotec ranges from US$ 500 to US$ 5,000. Similarly, the capital cost of installing the equipment is nearly US$ 2 million. Thus, the challenges pertaining to therapy prices limit the cell and gene therapy manufacturing services market growth.
Cell and Gene Therapy Manufacturing Services Market, By Type Insights
Based on type, the cell and gene therapy manufacturing services market is segmented into cell therapy and gene therapy. Cell therapy is segmented as autologous and allogenic.
