The cell and gene therapy supply chain/logistics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.15 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be associated with the expansion of personalized medicine, the advancement of cell-free therapies, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, the growth of the global cell therapy manufacturing market, and the effective utilization of supply chain requirements. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass a rise in research and development expenditure, the adoption of advanced technologies, favorable initiatives and programs to enhance accessibility, and the formation of partnerships and collaborations among cell and gene therapy companies, supply chain providers, and logistics companies, offering customizable services to support various stages of patient identification.

The growth of the cell and gene therapy supply chain/logistics market is fueled by the rising demand for cell and gene therapies. These innovative medical treatments, which involve modifying cells or genes to address diseases, present potential breakthroughs for previously untreatable conditions. Ensuring the proper storage conditions, including temperature control, is crucial for these therapies, and supply chain and logistics services play a vital role in sourcing, distributing, and storing them. For instance, in February 2022, private investment in cell and gene therapy reached $68 billion, and the number of approved therapies saw a 10% growth in 2021, as reported by Cell & Gene, a US-based online resource for research scholars. Hence, the increasing need for cell and gene therapies is a driving force in the cell and gene therapy supply chain/logistics market.

The anticipated growth of the cell and gene therapy supply chain/logistics market is further supported by the increasing demand for personalized medicine. Personalized medicine involves tailoring medical decisions, interventions, and drug therapies to individual patients, and the supply chain/logistics services for cell and gene therapies play a critical role in delivering these precision medicines safely and effectively. Temperature monitoring is incorporated to maintain integrity throughout the supply chain. As of October 2022, there were over 75,000 genetic testing products and 300 personalized medicines, highlighting the growing demand for personalized medical solutions, according to reports published by STAT, a US-based health-oriented news company. Therefore, the rising demand for personalized medicine is a key driver of the growth in the cell and gene therapy supply chain/logistics market.
