Base-Editing Tools Market Report 2025

The base-editing tools market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.5 billion in 2024 to $1.83 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.8%. Growth in the historic period was driven by rising demand for gene editing in rare disease research, expansion of genomic research infrastructure, increasing use in preclinical studies, enhanced sequencing and bioinformatics capabilities, and growing awareness of the limitations of traditional gene editing methods.

The base-editing tools market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.97 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.5%. Growth in the forecast period is expected to result from a growing focus on precision medicine, an increase in clinical trials utilizing base editing, expansion of cell and gene therapy research, rising demand for functional genomics studies, and higher incidence of genetic and rare diseases. Primary trends anticipated for the forecast period include development of next-generation base editors, integration with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, incorporation with synthetic biology, advancements in CRISPR-Cas technology, and creation of novel therapeutics.

The increasing occurrence of genetic and rare disorders is anticipated to drive the growth of the base-editing tools market in the near future. These disorders, which result from mutations or changes in a person’s genes or chromosomes, often impact a small segment of the population and can be inherited through generations. As advancements in genomic testing and newborn screenings provide earlier and more accurate diagnoses, the detection of previously undiagnosed cases is on the rise. Base-editing tools offer the precise correction of genetic mutations, assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of rare and inherited disorders. These tools enhance genetic testing, enable targeted therapies, and foster advanced diagnostics, personalized treatments, and potential cures. For example, in May 2024, the UK-based National Health Service reported that approximately 17,000 individuals in England suffer from sickle cell disease, an inherited blood disorder, with about 250 new diagnoses annually. The increasing prevalence of genetic and rare disorders is thus fueling the demand for base-editing tools.

Key companies in the base-editing tools market are concentrating on the development of innovative solutions, such as novel adenine base editors, to improve the accuracy and efficiency of gene editing. These editors are advanced genome-editing tools that precisely convert adenine (A) to guanine (G) in DNA without causing double-stranded breaks, enabling specific and safe genetic modifications. In October 2024, Metagenomi, Inc., a US-based precision genetic medicines company, introduced new adenine base editors capable of editing a wide range of genomic targets with more than 95% targetability. These editors facilitate accurate base conversions with minimal off-target effects in tested cell lines, promoting multiplex gene editing and substantial protein reduction in primary T-cells. The platform is compatible with various non-viral delivery methods and engineered Cas variants, making it suitable for both in vivo genome editing and ex vivo cell therapies, such as CAR-T treatments.

In July 2025, Eli Lilly and Company, a US-based pharmaceutical provider, acquired Verve Therapeutics for $1.3 billion. This acquisition allows Eli Lilly to strengthen its gene-editing capabilities by incorporating Verve Therapeutics’ innovative base-editing technologies into its portfolio. The move is designed to enhance Eli Lilly’s precision medicine offerings and expedite the development of therapies targeting cardiovascular diseases and associated genetic risk factors. Verve Therapeutics, a US-based clinical-stage biotechnology firm, is known for its base-editing tools and uses this technology to create investigational gene therapies.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.

Base-editing tools are advanced genome engineering technologies that allow scientists to precisely convert a single DNA base into another without creating double-strand breaks, minimizing unintended mutations. By combining a modified CRISPR-Cas system with enzymes such as cytidine or adenine deaminases, these tools enable targeted correction of genetic errors, offering significant potential for studying gene functions and developing therapies for inherited diseases.

The primary types of products in base-editing tools include deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) base editors, ribonucleic acid (RNA) base editors, and others. DNA base editors are laboratory instruments that allow modification of a single base in a DNA sequence without cutting both strands. Applications include genetic research, drug development, disease modeling, agricultural biotechnology, and others. Primary end users include academic and research institutes, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations, and others.
